I’m pretty sure a stock Miata has never had 300hp. So... I’ve disproven your theorem.

We also have/had the Orlando here in Uzbekistan. But they sold very badly so I’ve only seen about 10 on the road. The Captiva, on the other hand...

I still find it shocking that less than 25% of eligible voters even bothered. If we look at the voting statistics, which county was more apathetic about the outcome? Was it the DeKalb or Fulton voters who just didn’t care enough to turn up?

My father used to let my sister and I drive his Mercedes 300D some ways to my grandmother’s house when I was 12 or 13. In between our city and my grandmother’s, they were finishing up a new interstate (I’ll let you guess which one) and the road was closed in between exits. But that didn’t stop enterprising people…

I am hella-jealous about that Datsun/Nissan pickup. Tiny, great fuel economy, fresh paint job. We have nothing like this in NH. Everything is big and rusted out. If I were in the States right now, I’d fly down to DC to pick up that bad boy.

That Pinto is a fairly rare beast, no? I’d repaint it in red with orange and yellow go fast stripes.

Does Paul Raymond know you stole his car?

is that house even 100 years old? looks like it was built in the 50s.

Darn! you beat me to it. One of my biggest regrets about the Preacher tv show is that they’re unlikely to work in the white supremacists story line since they killed off that antagonist. Well played, sir.

I’m gonna have to go with the 9th generation Malibu. For me, the 8th gen was an understated yet still somewhat aggressive looking car. The front and the rear were unified well, also. But the 9th gen was almost like the designers completely ran out of ideas and stole shamelessly from other companies. No unified…

A former military communicator told me it’s actually “standing operating procedure”, which makes more sense. Why would we have a non-standard operating procedure. “Standing” simply means current and agreed-upon. As for test drives, I take a picture of the other person’s driving license and insurance papers. No one…

There are several reasons why Plymouth was axed. 1) The Prowler. Unique, mean look but without the balls to back it up. Biggest engine a crappy V6? C’mon. 2) That the engineers had enough time to put something like this together rather than developing something we really needed. Seriously, that thing makes me…

When I was a poor college student, I often tested this with my Saturn SC1. If anyone owned an early 90s Saturn, you’ll remember the light came on when you had about a quarter of a tank (according to the needle). As I recall, that was really about half a tank (according to the mileage I recorded). That car got…

Not only that, but planes typically get a carefully rationed amount of fuel that is appropriate for the duration of their flight, temperature, wind conditions, etc. You occasionally hear stories about long-haul planes being forced to make an emergency landing due to a medical emergency, or maintenance issue, etc. If…

I’d rather pay 5k for a well-sorted XJ of the same year range and spend another 5k to get it how I want it. Sorry, too pricey.

I looked around inside my engine bay. I can only find a cap that says: “710".

It would appear you didn’t actually read any of the preceding articles. Williams isn’t charging money to use his garage and his assistance — he just uses it as an outlet since he’s in a wheelchair. Random strangers don’t show up and ask for repairs — it’s only friends and relatives. That shouldn’t be obtrusive.

Car Talk kept me going for years. Now podcasts are the way to go.

Look, it doesn’t matter that Jalops know better about ownership statistics. All that matters is that the unwashed masses buy into the idea that a one-owner car is that much better than a three-owner car. As long as the market bears this type of mark-up, folks will keep doing it. Who among us hasn’t checked Ebay for…

Interestingly, I had that very same K5 Blazer, though it was a 1987. Cost me $3700 back in 2003, and I had to sink a grand into it right away to fix the atrocious ignition system problems the previous owner had created with “upgrades”. I can vouch for the fact that the back seat indeed folds entirely flat, and the…
