I recently owned a Frontier and I thought one of the best qualities was the V6 engine. I thought it was responsive and had solid acceleration. When I replaced the truck I test drove most variations of full size trucks and still approve of the engine. It clearly wasn’t a V8 or turbo 6 but I thought it held its own well.…

Does anyone else dislike roundabouts when they are in pedestrian mode? I hate crossing at them because every car in the roundabout is a potential threat to exit and as they are always moving you can’t make eye contact with the drivers to ensure they see you. I know the cars are suppose to yield to pedestrians before…

Sometimes I think Traffic Jams has hacked my Spotify account. There have been too many uncommon bands in common to be a coincidence.

I went to a music festival in Ontario Canada last year and must have seen at least 8 of those. All in RHD. At first I thought I kept seeing the same vehicle with different colors and new stickers. Turns out there was a guy in the local city who was importing them from Japan. Allegedly he bought 30 of them and had no…

Better to think “you have a pet not a baby” than “you have a baby not a pet”. A dog wearing designer clothes to the dog park doesn’t bother me as much as a human who wasn’t allowed to play and socialize.

I took a look at that graph and thought “damn that actually starts at ZERO” Normally with those growth patterns the vertical axis starts up high.

Personally I agree that the new name is much worse. In Canada the official name is CUSMA which is bound to lead to confusion.  I would have stuck with NAFTA. If they really felt a new name was required for branding reasons I think “MAC Trade” has a nice ring to it.

Do you know what the car model was, or which dealer it is? So we know who to avoid.

$20,000 for a 15 year old vehicle! I think that’s pretty crazy. But then I live in the rust belt and don’t really expect a vehicle to live much past 15 years regardless of the miles.

The first to make money will likely be whoever can put together a trucking distribution system that eliminates the long haul driver. I heard this about 8 years ago in a tech talk and other commentators here have said similar things. Basically short haul drivers drop off the trailer at a regional launching site, an…

My first car was a green Pontiac Grand Prix.. I loved that car and every time I am ready to get a new vehicle I look to see if it comes in green. Unfortunately on the rare chance green is available manufacturers mess it us with aqua or maybe sea foam. A good British racing green or a olive green could totally sway my…

By the time this is actually on the lots some millennial will be over 40. If they consider this a “new generation of buyers” I fear for the industry.

There are three of these in my city that I see all the time. The first one appeared around 2 years ago. All drivers are men in their 70's. I actually have no complaints. They ride on the side of the road as if there were bicycles and are generally respectful of other users of the roads. They must not bother people…

I found the walking dead a bit too dark for my tastes. This fables one I find great. It is still gritty but not as dark.
