Everybody has their own way of handling a roundabout.

I have also flown in and out of LaGuardia since the change to Terminal B. I had a hard time taking in the groundbreaking architecture as they seem to have neglected any kind of proper signs to get you where you need, any logic to the path you have to take from a rental car or cab to the terminal, or any chance that

This reads like the treatment to that Gilligan’s Island reboot I never knew I wanted.

I like to get a different daily driver every few years so I have some great ones. This is my favorite: In 2008, I had an NA Miata that I decided to sell. It was worth maybe $3,000 at the time. I posted it on Craiglist and got an email from a local eye doctor who specialized in LASIK surgery offering me LASIK in

Still better than flying into LaGuardia.

I feel like this is a clarion call to good writers to write more and to providers of content to pay those writers. As someone who works in PR, I know how easy it is to get darn near anything published by doing the writing and providing the content for free.

In a way, the panties are appropriate because when this guy talks, all I hear is incessant queefing.

Was gotta hit ND for the horrid job on the rear wheel flaring, but now I’m smashing ND and rage-throwing my monitor over the “I’m gonna raise the price” attitude thrown off by the seller. Word to the wise: Being nice can actually increase the value of your car. Except in this case, because this car is a royal screw up

By the end of that ride, Heinz’s head should done cooking.

Subscription based turn signals. I don’t think BMW would earn a dime off of this.

Convoy. Peckinpaw was so mentally wrecked trying to film this one as he struggled to make a serious movie while the studio wanted another Smokey & The Bandit. What we ended up with was a movie that tries to be both while losing track of itself so many times you have to give up on its tenuous grip on geography.

The Car. James Brolin is so creepy in this movie, you have to start rooting for the car.

Gung Ho. Jason Torchinsky was the guest on our podcast for that movie, and it was a bit painful for us to go back and watch this one years later. It has its moments, but even Michael Keaton can’t make the protagonist character likeable, unions are portrayed horribly and many of the characters we are supposed to love

Lawyer up and fight, man.

My wife and I received a hand-me-down first gen Ford Focus wagon. Before I got rid of it, I crawled underneath to do an oil change and saw plenty of scary thin metal components rusting away, enough to make me question driving the car. It was bought by a guy who had a nearly identical Focus wagon that he needed parts

They are really not being careful enough here. Even after being submerged a few decades, a Pinto should be treated like unexploded ordnance. 

Gonna cast my vote for the Triumph Spitfire. It’s the most attainable Triumph model right now (TR’s have gotten very expensive), it’s mechanically simplistic, and it’s so small, most of the parts are really lightweight and easy to get to.

No T-Tops?! 4th gen was when they actually figured out how to make them not leak all the time and they had built-in storage. I had a ‘94 Trans Am until the LT-1 randomly blew (sad feels). I did have to do the headlight motors. I highly recommend cracking them open when they fail and putting brass gears in. They will

Welcome to the manual transmission Firebird club. It’s not the best to learn on IMHO, but it’s not the worst either. I think yours will be a bit more user friendly than my ‘89, which doesn’t even grab until the clutch is almost all the way up. All the clichés really apply, though - once you get it, you’re hooked.

This. Every word of this X1000. Add the late 90's Ford Explorer to the list, too.
