Crew Chief... I saw a Kaiser Jeep Gladiator truck parked at a house in Hutto, Texas last Saturday. I turned around at the next light to go take a look but it was gone when I got back. Love the look.

Methinks you are trying too hard not to care. Concept jeeps are cool. Jeeps in general are cool. Now that I think of it “Game of Thrones” is OK too.

I had an Abarth for a while. I think you could do the kid thing in it just fine. I hauled (older) kids all over Austin with mine. I never felt it was unsafe in any respect. Now I drive a big 4wd truck that weighs 6400lbs. I think I could avoid issues with the Fiat. Good for her for keeping it.

How many A-10s can we maintain and upgrade for the cost of the SR-72? I also wonder about th long term viability of our Super Carrier battle groups against potential hypersonic and ballistic missile threats. Better to have more, less expensive, even though less capable assets. My concern is that the USAF will fall in…

I never cared for the old Thruxton. That being said I like the brand and keep nearly buying a Street Triple R. I like the new one, at least in the R version. I think $12,500 would be more reasonable but if they don’t sell they will eventually get cheaper and if they do then it’s not an issue. I came close a couple of…

I always loved these vehicles. I had 3 of them over the years. My 84 was a POS from day 1. It had a 4 cylinder with a manual. I carried a spare clutch cylinder in the glove box because they crapped out so often. The clutch pedal broke off completely twice. The alternator bracket broke twice. When the water pump failed…

The whole point of qualifying is to place the cars in order by lap time. The new system was an attempt to add uncertainty so that having the fastest car did not guarantee the top grid position. In order to make for a better show? If they really want an exciting race (i.e.: Mercedes finishing 1-2 again) they should…

They were trying to fix something that wasn’t broken and ended up with a pile of crap. It only seemed to hurt the “smaller” but it was a terrible show for the fans down under. My son and I stayed up late despite having places to be early this morning. We both wish we had just skipped it. I want to see starting…

Just signed up for BeIn Sports on Uverse. Sucks that their coverage seems limited to just the premier race. No Moto 2 or 3 that I can see. The change in network is bound to hurt viewership in the US quite a bit. I’m in central Texas and know a lot of “casual” Moto GP fans due to the race being local. I don’t see many…

I have been to all the F1 races at COTA. The first year you couldn’t walk 10 feet without a COTA employee smiling and wishing you a great day. The event probably felt special even if you weren’t a big fan. In the years since there has been obvious signs of belt tightening. Last year the grandstands were packed. I…

A couple of weeks ago I decided to try driving for better fuel economy in my 2016 4wd Ram 1500 diesel. I drove 3 days (91 miles) just running errands and such. There were virtually no highway miles. It was all just around town on a very busy 3 days. I did not do any hypermiling techniques. I ran the AC when needed and…

It didn’t die. It was repaired for $1600. I have talked to the shop that did the repair. The pressed on cam gear slipped. The $1600 is what they quoted me to modify the cam gear so that it cannot slip. This was an occasional problem with the earlier EDs. Supposedly they have made changes to the engine to address this.…

I’ve got a 2016 4wd Ram 1500 and after 4500 miles I am averaging 24.7 in mostly city driving with some occasional towing. When I am on the highway it is often on Texas 130 which has speed limits of 80-85. That usually knocks my mileage down a bit. I could not be happier with it.

Luckily they are mostly gone from the roads in the US so it's mostly academic at this point, but it’s pretty much impossible to have sex in an Opel GT. Impossible.

I have never thought of the California as ugly. They look better in person than in photos. Styling is highly subjective. Most people would likely agree that the Pontiac Aztec was ugly. I am not sure many would agree that the California is “butt-faced”. Regardless I will take one if you're buying. Manual please.

I have a 2015 Jeep Wrangler that has been driven fairly hard since day one (my 16 year son drives it) and no issues of any kind. I think generally Wranglers are pretty solid mechanically. I have owned 3 over the last decade and none of them ever went back to a dealer after they were purchased.

I watch the show. I love the crazy excess of their project trucks. I want a Mega Ram Runner though I don’t know where I’d park it and how I’d get in and out after 5 back surgeries. I’d figure it out.

I own a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara. It gets about 15mpg on a good day. It has the trailer towing package which gives it lower (3.73) rear end gears which hurts the mileage some. We rented a 2.8 liter diesel wrangler in Jamaica when on vacation last year. It got mid 20s and drove well. I just bought a 2016 Ram…

I am 61 and fairl damaged goods. I would ride anything I can throw my leg over. I trust myself to know my limits.

Nice work as always Tyler. I remember hearing about the battle at the time but really never knew the details. Brave individuals fighting for each other goes a long way. Thanks for all the Desert Storm memories lately.
