Didn’t switch out the cam. I didn’t drive it hard or take it off road, so I never really had the chance to see if that engine would hold up doing truck stuff. Besides, it was a very ugly Bronco. It was light tan on light tan.

Oh yeah. That’s mine. I remember - mine was red. That has to be mine.

A friend offered up an ‘87 Bronco for $250 and was very up front about the fact that the engine was blown. I had always wanted a Bronco, so I figured there wasn’t much risk in buying it for $250, then finding a low mileage 5.0 V8 to replace the blown engine since those engines are ubiquitous. After a long search, I…

I started to write a smug post about how they can’t track my 1968 Olds Cutlass, but there’s no such think as going unnoticed when you drive a 1968 Olds Cutlass, so I have no real advantage here.

Defense Attorney: I move that we dismiss this case due to lack of evidence.
Judge: We have multiple videos of your client crashing into cars and acting intoxicated. What does the prosecution have to say?
Prosecuting Attorney: I’m here. I’m not a cat.

I don’t see what the problem is. The Tesla’s “Automatically Locate a Police Officer” feature worked perfectly here.

Why are carmakers allowed to make the plastic covers over bumpers complicated enough that they cost $1,000's to repair? The 5mph bumpers came into existence because crashes were doing too much monetary damage to cars, then the covers happened because gas mileage standards required aerodynamic fixes. Doesn’t…

My Corvair had a single-bowl brake master, but I was okay with that because it was only running on two of its six cylinders and I don’t think I could have gotten up the speed to actually hurt anything.

That’s way better than “to make the bus look less fat.”

My best friend and I packed a week’s worth of stuff in my 1993 Miata for a road trip from Virginia Beach to Athens, Georgia. On the way back, I decided to show him how fast the Miata could handle a freeway on-ramp, and I totally overestimated how fast that Miata could handle a freeway on-ramp. In the middle of the…

As a kid, I deeply resented growing up on “Windingridge Drive” every time I had to fill out a %^&*ing address form.

Most of the original 50 were given to families all over the country to try out, then had to be returned and destroyed. One of the families lived in my parents’ neighborhood.

Somebody in the board room kept saying Americans want cars that attract cats. Like some kind of magnet...

My dad knew I was car-obsessed so he had me practicing driving since I was 14. As soon as I was old enough for a learner’s permit, we went to the DMV, got it with no problems at all, then he tossed me the keys to the car and had me drive it home through Richmond, VA rush-hour traffic. Now my kids are in no rush to get…

I went through this process a few years back when I got my 1976 Celica. A car thief had taken it on a joyride and done just enough damage to total it - nothing structural. Just a bent tie rod, a dented fender and some busted trim was a enough to total it. I did dump plenty of cash into it thanks to a stuck valve, but…

FDR: Get in, son!

Best of luck to you, sir. Going on Twitter attempting to save Souls is a futile process.

When an Oshkosh truck shows up to deliver that subpoena...
