All except this one (this one is definitely doing it right! - viper drivetrain to boot!)

And people laugh when I tell them that the Ford Taurus SHO is the best full size American sedan you can buy...

Police vehicles ought to be speed limited to the posted limit.

But I flap the paddles.

Pop quiz, who here knows about Krass & Bernie? I’m so happy I still have my old issues, some of the last ones, but I’m even happier it’s back!

PSA: Don’t use automated car washes. For any car.

So many good ones.

Me too! I once saw a house in Anaheim that had three of the same model Skylines in the driveway (see pic, third white one is obscured by the silver one). Obviously and importer/flipper. Alas, the “mates” comment in the article made me realize that we were definitely not talking about OC.

I did it to offend you specifically.

“And before you posit that “nobody’s tried to make a real off-roady Wrangler rival” I submit the Toyota FJ Cruiser (RIP) Nissan Xterra (RIP) and Hummer (see what I mean?)“

having worked in a union shop when i lived in NY, yes, its hard to disagree w/you here. However, in the grand scheme of things id rather see more unions and folks represented by unions than less. Even including the utterly ridiculous bs that comes with any of the construction trades in the tri-state area. I cannot…

So instead of building something like a Bronco they built a Durango instead?

It has a diesel, a solid rear axle (probably), and a rear locker (probably), and is liftable. But I get the hate. It will, no matter what, be disappointing to most. I was never a bronco guy but I do think they are wicked cool. And I can see that this would be a great disrespect to the namesake. Much like the Jeep…

Actually I’m going to go ahead and argue that no one has made a Wrangler rival. I don’t think the XTerra, FJ Cruiser or Hummer were “serious wrangler rivals” at all. All of these vehicles missed the mark of what makes a real off-road vehicle special. They were pretty much a caricature of an off-roader, and that’s why…

The global Ranger is nothing like what a Ranger used to be, or what we mean when we say they should bring the Ranger back.

I demand two solid axles and one transfer case.

I would never date a woman that drove a PT Cruiser, but I could easily fall for one that drove a PT Cruiser GT. Don’t get me wrong, I hate PT Cruisers as much as the next guy, but the GT is the ultimate in sleepers, and sleepers fit my personality perfectly.

My current car, the STI. I bought it when I was still dating my wife. I drove a ‘95 Explorer before it. I bought the car on Wednes, April 6, 2011, at approx 5:38P. I picked her up in it that following Saturday. She walked outside looking for my Explorer only to be greeted by my STI.
