We’re doing politics wrong. Anyone who actually wants to be a politician, should probably be banned from being a politician. They’re all a bunch of egomaniacal shitheads.

Bro. You just don’t key another person’s car even if that owner holds the opposite beliefs as you do. Unspoken car enthusiast rule. Leave the cars out of politics dude.

I like these types of stickers because they are a great indicator of what kind of person they are.

I saw one the other day and remembered that they existed. $10k is a normal price for these. This, the Mazda6 wagon and the X Type Sportwagon are the wagons everyone forgot existed.

“The 2024 Jeep Wrangler Lets You Live Your American Dream”

I have two issues with this headline as well as the ‘Proudly American’ statement... first is the impression it leaves that Jeep is ‘American’.

Volvo V50 is a PITA 

I too was wondering what that meant.  My underwear has natural fiber panels as well.

What’s missing from the Toyota loyalty discussion is that there were very few Toyotas for Toyota owners to purchase last year and, when they were available, they were often at insane dealer markups.  With other brands’ inventory improving, it was financially hard not to consider other options, including Teslas.

When we get a used Leaf on the lot, it never has over 100 miles of capacity. Nissan completely botched the battery management, and since they were such an early contender, they gave other EVs a bad name - battery degradation was on everyone’s lips when it didn’t have to be. Hello Ariya, and whatever new nameplate…

Not an electronically controlled one. 

235 hp out of a V8? What is this, the Malaise era??

I’d love to have one strictly as a DD. Though I shudder at the thought of how much it would cost to service these things. They’re not track cars. They’re barely even track capable. You have 3-4 laps. That’s it, and it falls apart.

They are crap track cars. One showed up locally and owner had to cut the sessions and day short because the brakes couldn’t keep up, suffered from heat soak after a few laps, and got dangerously close to overheating. For the short time it was at full tilt, it plowed like any Audi would through corners. I imagine the…

Gems are weird. I used to assume all topaz were yellow because of Diablo II. Then I was shopping for earrings for my spouse and found out there are blue topaz. That left me in a pickle, because I didn’t know if I was getting 1-20 lightning damage or 3-7 cold damage for her.

Tough question because cars are going to fall into four categories (generally).

for me its the BAC Mono. Such a beautiful design and it looks like its pulled straight from the future or right out of an Anime

This might be a bit better known than some, but I’ve had to explain what an early 80's Mercury Capri is a number of times. I paid $200 for an ‘80 RS when I was 15, and rebuilt the Ford 200 straight-6 in it. IMHO, better looking than the Mustang it was sister to.

Mazda 5

Hindustan Motors Ambassador. Based on the Morris Minor. Was extremely popular, and a VIP transport vehicle of choice from 50's to 90's for India.

Ford C-Max.  It’s so unknown that when I make deliveries and people ask what kind of car I’m in I tell them it’s a grey hatchback and if I tell them what kind of car it is they won’t know.  When I happen to deliver to someone that owns one they get all excited.
