Every diesel pickup with low-profile chrome rims.

“offroad” is the same as “driving fast”...it’s completely subjective. You can drive fast in a Miata and have a lot of fun, but it won’t crack 200mph, so is it slow? If you have some clearance, traction, and can put power to the wheels in contact with the ground you’ll go most places off road. Its not until you get…

The Lada was surely designed to be built as cheaply as possible, so who let the turn signals be frenched into the hood?!?!? Without that, the leading edge of the hood would be a straight line, much easier to stamp, nothing sticking up when you lean in to fix things and a simplified grille layout. Someone went to the…

Have you ever had to walk from the terminal to the far edge of extended parking in Pittsburgh? Some of those people just haven’t made it back to their car yet.

Aww gee, if only there was something with the practicality of a 4-door hatch that was one of the most-fun cars to drive of the last 25 years, that was available for $10K in great shape and was bulletproof. Hmmmmm.

E30 BMW 3-Series. Bear with me here, when they were new, they were the “it” car for the yuppie crowd. Everyone with money had to have one, they were the ultimate status symbol. But by that definition, they were vastly overrated. Sure, they had great suspensions and manual gearboxes and don’t get me started on the…

Had a 1985 Century, hands-down the worst piece of shit car ever made by mankind. The motor crapped out at 50K miles, the transmission crapped out at 60,000 miles, the exhaust fell off from rust at 61,000 miles, the rockers were rusting at 30,000 miles the brakes were shit. I parked that POS blocking their service bays…

PRO: It could be a 2-door with the Type R motor, light weight, a slick 6-speed.

Base the new Astro on the Colorado platform so that it can tow up to 7000 pounds and get you to your cabin with some more aggressive off-road tires. I want to haul my family around, tow my boat, go camping in the woods and not worry about a bunch of plastic trim falling off. 

I just used one to replace the oil seal on a distributor on a Jeep Cherokee 4.0

I is in PA and writes real good.

Most celeb trailers are used as a place to hang out between takes, take a dump and maybe grab a snack. Remember, makeup is done in the makeup trailer, food is made for you by catering and you go home to the Hollywood hills or a posh hotel to sleep. So other than an occasional nap, I doubt Hanks slept here very often.…

The motor that did it for me was the Hayabusa. I rode a 50hp Honda and thought it was pretty quick (If you rode a CX500, your laughing at me now). I sat on a 200hp ‘Busa at a dealer and thought, “how could you survive this thing?”.

It’s easy to paint China as the bad guy here, but their plan is pretty sound. The US certainly funded a lot of development for bananas, rubber, oil and other things, but we let it all go back to warlords and dictators who got rich and let their people suffer and starve. At least there is a chance that China will…

The Chevy 1500W/T. The 2-headlights and matte grille looked better than what you could get on a Denali of the era, and its a truck people. I don’t want a $75,000 status symbol, I want to toss mulch in the back and shift for myself and sleep on the bench seat if need be.

The Entourage actually came in two lengths, the short wheelbase version was killed off in the US due to poor sales. Try to find a SWB Entourage, I think they sold about 12 of them.

I really want to know if they were more “offended” by them being gay or women or black. Would they have kept quiet for a gay white female couple? Or a straight black couple? Or gay black men? We need to start treating these people like lab rats and figure out how their minds work. Maybe we can develop a treatment or…

Am I right in thinking that the anti-vaxxer movement started when a Playboy centerfold partied and took a lot of drugs while pregnant and had a child with some medical conditions and blamed vaccines for it and went on a crusade that she later admitted was wrong and ill-informed? That’s the basis for their belief…

The HHR is the only rental car I ever swapped for something different. Visibility out of that disaster was so poor, I was afraid to drive it over 5mph. Going fast in one is begging for death.

The bigger question is how a Ford C-Max got up to a speed sufficient to do such a thing? You would have to have 19 miles of slightly downhill, straight grade to achieve vmax enough to do that.
