Should've kept the heritage (TM) alive and called it the Duratec, since it's probably powered by the same V12 that Ford and Aston spawned out of 2 Ford Duratec V6's and some gorilla glue.

Does it act as a standalone GPS unit, or does it run off of the cell phone's GPS/data plan? If it's a standalone unit, that's not too bad considering a decent Garmin GPS is around $80-90.

What model number is this and does it cost more than my shitbox is worth?

Dodge Power Wagon, because Safari Rally, or something

RIP tie rod ends & hub units = car can't drive anyway

Ever seen a 911 Turbo take that left lane? It's like watching a track car on the Nurburgring thanks to all the potholes and bumps combined with the 9 foot wide stretch of insanity

Question I've always wondered - what does the lightning bolt on MA plates mean? You'd think I'd have that figured out after 22 years here..

Except for a Camaro, there are few cars that came from the factory with the 3800 that I'd want to take a high speed corner in.

Behold the 1998 Ford Explorer. I swear, everyone is 1 degree of separation or less from a second generation Explorer. It's the epitome of the American SUV craze, and could be had in anything from bare bones, 2wd "Sport" trim with 2 doors and a V6, up to the "loaded" Eddie Bauer edition with AWD and leather everything.…

Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight LSS. sleeeeeeeeeeeper.

they're already easy to identify. Look for the clapped out 98 Pontiac Grand Am doing 130mph on 93, 95, and 495 without using those shiny things on their doors to change lanes, or backing into parking meters and sleeping through green lights on city streets.

I feared WOT in my '98 Cherokee, but that was because I was afraid the rear leaf shackles were going to shear themselves under heavy load on dry pavement. Or the water pump would grenade itself again.

I don't think that the iron block/OHC design is as dated as everyone makes it out to be - hear me out. It's like what GM has managed to do with the small block V8 - the amount of refinement from a half century+ old design that these guys have managed to extract out of that setup is truly amazing, now with the help of…

I agree with you, and the same can be said about most top-tier forms of motorsport. F1 with their lack of refueling/anything you want to nitpick, WRC cars having nothing to do with homologation anymore, IndyCars having engine restrictions as opposed to the days when they had diesels and turbine cars running, etc etc

The winner of the Indianapolis 500 drinks from a bottle of milk. The winner of the Sprint Cup drinks Miller Lite from a 2 gallon boot if he wants (see: Brad Keselowski drunk on ESPN)

Just...stop. 4 wheel discs, yes; EFI, yes; 9000 RPM, 800+HP N/A V8's, yes; tens of millions in R&D and advertising budgets, yes; 90% of the drivers are in above average-elite levels of cardiovascular physical fitness. NASCAR is a real motorsport.

One shitty, cheap lock cylinder fails out of thousands of designs for the exact same idea and gets unprecedented media coverage in the 100 year history that cars have used keys to start vehicles, caused by GM doing GM things and making everything cheaper to the point of failure, and you want the idea to be killed off…

something like this might end up in your rear view

Amazed that the 7 Series GT hasn't been spawned from the asshole of Bavaria. Yet.

Going on a limb here, but AC Delco/Delphi electronics have only twice ever failed on me. The CD player in just about every GM vehicle I've driven has shit the bed, and my wiper motor decided to grenade itself once. Other than that, besides dash lights with a 6 week life expectancy, GM electronics aren' t too bad (in…
