    Still part of Big Screw

    Now playing

    It would be a good Jalopnik story. Its really to long and involved though. I had a lot of it document here when we could do a side blog for free. That is long gone though.

    If this had a Reserve you would have a point.

    What about all of the Russian Airline problems? Not including the military stuff that is getting shot down by the Ukrainians

    Its the combo Sponsor and MFG that is the problem

    Reasonable until you strip it when you need it

    Team Names like this are fine. They are the team name or in the case of Andrea Moda and Benetton owned by the sponsor.

    I can’t think of one.

    Drove my 5 Series wagon back from a work event late at night and was doing 50 in heavy snow that had not been plowed. Traction control would just randomly flicker on. Back end was lightly moving. Not typical but their is always lots of crap out on the roads that people are hitting.

    I was going to get a Cube when Cash for Clunkers was going on. My Geo Metro 40 MPG did not qualify and the POS Dodge was not that bad then. So I waited and got a used Scion xB

    Likely but it worked with the previous set for a number of years so I am going with I did not any on the first time and trusted the factory dab would work. I would safety wire them if I could but no room

    No Swirls

    No It was not. Wet sand with 400 grit and rattle can 2X Clear. Lots of buffing and it came out kinda Satin
