Interesting, all I know is the damn things seem to run forever and because if they weren’t reliable people would get rid of them as they aren’t an enthusiast car and they aren’t worth anything anymore .

Early 2000's Mitsubishi Galant. There is a reason you will find these cars in abundance in low income neighborhoods, they are cheap, reliable as the sun, and cheap to repair. I found this local example from a quick CL search, however if you look a bit harder I am sure a better example could be found at a similar or…

This is really an unnecessary item for most people as it is a single tasker. A french press is a much better option as it does the same job and will brew hot coffee as well. One could also use a regular pitcher and then pour it over a filter.

I have not seen a single Automatic SS here in Southern California. I’m pretty sure the only reason anyone has bought an SS in the states is because it is the last “affordable” V8 manual sedan.

Because no manual options.

LCD screens replacing gauge clusters. A small LCD screen in between the gauges with computer information is great, especially because it can be turned off or dimmed way down. The new LCD only gauge clusters are far too bright and make it harder to see the road, they also ruin night vision and light up the inside of…

So are you saying the Fiesta is a 350z?

Everything is getting bigger, bulkier, and losing approach angles quickly. If you only need two seats and can deal with the utilitarianism the regular Jeep is a fantastic option. Some people really enjoy the noisy cabin and rough around the edges driving characteristics of the Jeep, myself included, however you will…

Plan on paying 5-15k over sticker but they do hold their value well. From what I understand the Colorado, Raptor and Jeep are flat towable. From what I understand the Toyotas are only flat towable if you get one with a manual transfer case, I could be wrong though.

For that a reasonably capable driver should be able to pass with some 4x4 vehicles in stock form, however a few vehicles with some minor modifications will make those trails a breeze and reduce the likelihood of under body damage. A stock Jeep Rubicon with at least a rear limited slip/locker and an upgrade to 33"…

What is the highest trail rating you would be looking to tackle with your proposed daily driver? http://www.dirtopia.com/wiki/4WD_Trail_Rating

There, fixed it for you.

This was my first thought as well. Infotainment, cloth, and bumper issues aside it fits most of the bill well. May also be too “sporty” and the interior may be too “gaudy” for his tastes.

What about the Scion XB half missing bumper? I can’t be the only one to have noticed this on either side of what seems like every 3rd 1st gen XB on the road.

Darn Tough Solid Crew Light. Great fit, soft comfortable, they stay in place and last for years. Best of all they are guaranteed for life, wear them out and Darn tough will replace them.

There is a BBQ joint near me that makes an apple turnover with a salty biscuit dough, it is wonderful, I imagine this is the same principle. Salty/savory and sweet work very well together.

Agreed, the same thing can be accomplished by covering the pan instead of throwing it in the oven. Also you can throw in a little water before covering, the resulting steam will speed up the topside cooking.

You are buying an Omega-3 milk, usually fortified with fish oil.

Nice work, this should definitely make the top 5.
