I remember when these were new. This is the vehicle you’d buy if you aspired to be the most boring, down the middle, suburban corporate dad imaginable. If your favorite beverage was Sanka, and your idea of a pleasant afternoon was reading the worst parts of the Wall Street Journal and then going to an early…

I have the exact “before” truck, down to the state of the license plate.  Unless that photo is 10+ years old, I tip my cap to the owner.  Mine has been relegated to pasture-only duty because the rust has eaten through the brake lines.  Short of storing it between October and May, I can’t think of a way to prevent the…

I remember when the torch was passed, and I honestly couldn’t believe it. The 2G looked cool when they discontinued it, and it has looked cool since. The 3G looked like a bloated rodent from day one, and it drove like a Dodge Stratus to boot. Mind you, I can very clearly remember the interior of the 2G, and it was not…

Somebody try it on the president. 

I’ve seen most of the Hobbit trilogy. I think the first one was on a streaming service at one point, so I saw it in its entirety. The other two I kinda/sorta watched on TV. At various points in my life, I’ve been a giant fan of the LotR universe, and I thought all of the Hobbit films were stupid.  A blatant cash grab…

I honestly loved my JK, but reading this made me remember that it developed some kind of an oil leak before 50k miles. You could occasionally smell burning oil, and on cold starts it would emit a fairly dense cloud from the tailpipe.  Head gasket maybe?  I noped out of that rabbit hole and traded it in for a RAM. …

Pretty sure he’s called Democrats exactly what this Biden aide called Republicans.  On Twitter.

According to the folks I know in the industry, you don’t just “remove” a tattoo. You’re lucky if you end up with minor scarring. The usual prescription is to at least partially cover up the removal with a new tattoo. Unless he’s got access to some kind of new technology or post-operative work to mask the scarring,…

Amen. The last one of these I saw on the road was a rolling International Confuckteration of Douchebros membership card:

This is exactly the sort of wreck Tavarish would fix up. 

I recently got a RAM, and I’ll be damned if it’s not the nicest car I’ve ever owned. When did this happen to trucks? I thought they were supposed to be utilitarian workhorses. My truck is like a spaceship. It’s whisper quiet, buttery smooth, deceptively quick and it even stops a lot more like a car than my Wrangler…

Gah, another car I wish we could get our grease-stained mitts on over here in the states.  I thought I heard somebody teasing that possibility a while back, but I know better than to get my hopes up.  I fully understand that .01% of us that “would totally buy one” would actually follow through.  Probably including…

Man in the background of the lead photo: I am definitely NOT a secret service agent.  I’m just a normal guy. Hey, look at that over there!

Trump is going to be “big mad” (as the kids say) at Rudy when his $20K worth of daily rambling and gesticulations don’t result in him being installed as Emperor for Life.  I highly doubt he’ll be giving Rudy a pardon. 

...Windows ‘95 because that’s what he had at his house and why did the software constantly change? (He made this statement in 2013.)

ND because it has an automatic.  Yeah, yeah, I know you can swap in a manual transmission without too much trauma.  But you’d already be $10k in by that point. 

“I would take it seriously if it came from Trump, because Trump cares about American lives,” Carone said, adding that if television networks friendly to Trump such as One America News or Newsmax “told me to go get tested, I would do it.”

I like it!

This looks to be really well-done, and the V90 was basically the pinnacle of Volvo’s “boxy” era. But for $14K? I’d expect everything to work, with less mileage, and I’d want a different V8 in there.  For like $7K, it would be a slam dunk.  ND otherwise.
