“and that's the way we liked it!" - Your dad, probably 

I find Seafoam a bit too salty for my taste. Marvel has a nice finish but sometimes leaves an aftertaste. Amsoil does too goo a job cleaning out my colon, if you know what I mean. STP does the exact opposite.

He is right that people with liberal arts degrees are smarter with their money, mostly because we only have three dollars.

Wear on the shifting parts. Not on the bearings that have to support the shafts or the case itself. I’ll bet one or both of those shafts tweak over like a mother if you stand on it in third. Once all that stress starts to loosen up the shaft bearings or one of the thrust bearings, the gears will come unmeshed and…

The first line of AAA towing policy is LITERALLY “when your vehicle cannot be started or safely driven.” I don’t know about you but purchasing a vehicle that you have no experience behind the wheel with whatsoever and are unsure about it’s true operation range is pretty unsafe, so a tow is very much warranted.

You sound like an asshole. Or a disgruntled tow truck driver.

There is no “what stipulates a necessary tow” clause in the AAA agreement.

Okay

He only risked exposure to and from everybody at the terminal on his way out, and airplane full of people, everybody in the terminal/baggage claim/customs in Germany, a taxi driver, and the hotel staff. Totally worth it to write a couple articles on how a POS van is a POS.

“We Americans” are basically average in per-capita death rate of covid world-wide and doing better than nearly every European country. Given our rate of obesity one could argue we’re doing not that bad.

Black kettles matter.

The irony wasn’t lost on me.  That was the first thing that came to my mind.  Glad I’m not the only one.

It wasn’t a stupid mistake. It was intentional. This is the same guy whos office tells you to put a mask on in between bites of your dinner. This time the press didn’t cover for him so he had to give his fake apology. I bet he sees family at Thanksgiving too.

Hasn’t like half of the Jalopnik staff written articles about large trips they’ve taken during the pandemic?

You people? Some of these loathsome and vile people that have to travel over the holidays have a reason other than stuffing the mouths full of stuffing with their kin. College students that are heading home as universities shut down until after the new year and people that have to normally travel for business heading…

“You guys are interested in a review of the car?”

Or......

Good people of Jalopnik, I’m a freelancer journalist in Brazil and recently had to photograph a four days road trip test of the new Fiat Strada (Ram 700) and also got a chance to drive it. You guys are interested in a review of the car? I’m also a reader from the site for 10+ years and read enough stuff to have a…

Not all of them were that simple, Richard Feynman decorated his extended Dodge B100 Sportsman van with his own Quantum Field Theory diagrams to distract all the Caltech students from figuring out it was extended. :)

the reality is, unless you tow a large RV or boat, or are someone who actually hauls several thousands of pounds of gear on a daily basis for work, the Ridgeline is actually the pickup you need.

you can tow a boat up to 4500 lbs (i.e about a 23 foot boat), an RV up to 3500 lbs (which is roughly a 21 foot RV trailer),…
