My thoughts exactly.

Strange... I only get odd noises when I have passengers in my car. I learned very early that the proper way to back-up is to look out the rear window and focus on an object in the direction I want to go. Because of this, I find it faster and more efficient to back-up in certain situations than to turn around. Once

I don’t think he’s drunk. I think he tried drinking the grease/mud mixture in the steering box of his Jeep. No way he could afford alcohol after buying Jeep parts.

Recent events have forced me to put my weekend car into daily use. It isn’t anything special, a 2003 Subaru Outback. Because it went from my third transportation choice to my only option, first sign of real weakness it’s gone. I’m not talking about oil consumption, blown wheel bearings or anything minor that can be

Don’t buy that seafoam green 1994 Toyota Tercel. Not beacuse it was a very reliable car through high school and college, not because it turned out to be OK at lower levels of autocrossing, but because as soon as any woman sees you driving it, any chance you had for a date are GONE!

And a cheap Land Rover is the most expensive SUV you will ever own.

This. Had a Kia Optima once. Horn was beyond weak. Wife demanded I upgrade the horn, so I obliged.

I fully agree with his. I test drove a BRZ and loved it. I don’t make enough money to have a second weekend only car so it would need to be my daily driver. My test drive was enough to tell me I couldn’t live with it as a daily driver.

Had a Jeep Cherokee do something similar. Took the cluster out, checked/cleaned all the connections but still didn’t get it to stop. Finally got angry at it, started kicking random stuff under the dash, while it was partially taken apart with the vehicle running to see if my fiddling was working. All the gauges

I has a 2001 Saturn SL1 that did the same thing. Not very frequent though, but always when the car was running. Never got used to getting out at a stop light to close the trunk.

The check engine light on my 2003 Subaru Outback. The code says I have a misfire on two cylinders. Sometimes the light flashes at me, indicating I have a severe misfire. Strangely, even when flashing, my 0-60 time is always the same and the car runs smooth. I just call it the phantom misfire since everything

Someone had to tell me the crack wasn’t there by design. It has been so long since I’ve seen an Exploder of that generation without the crack, I honestly thought it was styled in.

You are very naive to believe that everyone acts ethically and thinks about the consequences if their actions. This is life. People have been known cheat, lie and steal to get ahead.

We are very aware of all those facts. Mack, as mentioned in the story, had been receiving medically prescribed testosterone treatment that increased muscle mass. Mack’s muscle mass was equivalent to that of a boy of the same weight (per other articles). Physically speaking, Mack would have been competitive against

My co-workers and I fear transgender inclusion in sports may someday lead to abuse. While this case doesn’t have any clear signs of rules abuse by Mack, it does set a dangerous precedent.

After trying to understand all of this, I have decided I would rather double check my taxes. Somehow the funny math behind my 1040 seems less complicated.

When my wife worked drive through at a bank, most transactions required a photo ID. She got several people a day who sent in a state ID (not a driver’s license) or a license with “SUSPENDED” branded across it. All were driving cars.

My family still lives in MA. My wife and I visit them once every couple of years. We joke that more changes in Tulsa the week we are gone than has changed in MA since our last visit.

Once the Jeep is set free, it will promptly land on Craigslist;
