I Sierra what he did there.

So that’s how I get FaceTime on my cell phone...

Never autocrossed a car with a bench seat, ehh? The arm out the door isn’t for chilling, its to hold him in the car.

Just bought a 2013 focus se with a manual. Best manual transmission I’ve ever used. I’m comparing this not not so distant memories of driving manual 911s, vipers, cayenne’s, mustangs, s2000s, eclipse, civic si, camaro, and a dodge stratus.

Throw in the Suzuki Kizashi with that too. That was a great, and often overlooked car.

Ford Flex. The perfect refrigerator on wheels.

I just picked my boring dream car this past July to replace my 445K mile Mk4 Golf Golf TDI. I went total opposite and got a 2007 Mercury Grand Marquis GS (not even the fancy LS one) in perfect shape with only 38K miles on it. Panther platform cars (Ford Crown Vic, Mercury Grand Marquis, Lincoln Town Car) have more in…

1993-96 Cadillac Fleetwood, the last of the big RWD Caddies.

The Accord Hatchback. I’d happily drive a low-mileage manual as a DD until the wheels fell off.

I will pay real money for this.

Tickets in English-Canada: “Looks like you’ve been driving without a double-double in your hand. Here’s a twoonie, eh! Be sure to get that looked at.

There’s a Tarquanian restaurant in my neighborhood. The owner would best be described as having “seen some shit”, and he’s got some glossy low-res .jpgs of one of these modified for serious off-road use. I will ask him for more info next time I’m there

IIRC wool is the preferred uphoulstery material in Japan and China because it’s quieter than leather. Can anyone confirm/deny?

How do you know they don’t have a secret base there already? “You don’t actually think they spend $20,000 on a hammer, $30,000 on a toilet seat, do you?”

make me want to vomit up something from the ‘90s, like a Sega Saturn soaked in Mountain Dew.

I continue to enjoy my 2015 LaCrosse AWD. It’s capably dealt with a full Colorado winter and performed beautifully. I held off trading in for a 2017 LaCrosse in hopes that the full-size styling would evolve more towards the Avenir. An AWD wagon is extremely appealing to me... maybe not this year, but next.

Ok, you did it! You win! You have all the elements of the worst car story: Kia, automatic transmission, first experience behind the wheel ending in a wreck, and the saddest of all-losing your ambition to drive and gaming instead.

Starred primarily because of the unexpected yet appreciated use of the term, “bifurcated.” Well done sir!

What was the Buick, how is the Fusion better?

This did take some effort, and it is about mediocrity, but I'm fine with that. The middle of things is important and often overlooked. Hang that beige-ass medal around my neck and then we'll celebrate with some boxed wine and frozen shrimp.
