My friends and I bought a Renault Alliance in 1996 for $100 that had low-test coolant that had been allowed to freeze. Once we got it to a friend’s apple orchard, the destruction of the Alliance commenced. Crashing into trees, a little sledge hammer and splitting maul body-work, rifle impacts, and finished her off at…

Unfortunately the next 4 days will be warm, dry days which will gnaw at you to reconsider like a fella realizing that he broke up for all the wrong reasons.

Love the exhaust manifold just hanging out there like, “Huh? What? Where did everyone go?”

There are some Chevy Express vans on the Detroit Hertz sale lot

Sooo, will there be some other good deals to be had on low-mileage prior rental cars?

Something tells me the Burn-Out-Ometer has rolled over once or twice.  They should really makes those 5 or 6 digits instead of only 4.

Every CPO car I have purchased has had a bogus CPO inspection report. I inspect the car in a nearby parking lot, safe from the winged monkey nagging salesmen that bother you in the dealership lot as you’re levering the glovebox out to check the cabin air filter. I made a list of all the things I find (dirty CAF, dirty…

It was a C230. Doesn’t fucking matter. Supid complicated shit that breaks. Even the cup holder had about 20 moving parts. Flimsy as fuck. Run away.

Yeah, it only has what I’m sure is a simple and easy to repair retractable hard top with mechanisms that would make most engineers’ heads spin

They may want to do something about those dented sealed beam headlights if they really want to up the realism.

Easy, NO. Overly complicated mechanisms that are expensive to repair. Friend of mine had the coupe version of this. Cable that actuates the sunroof from a linear actuator in the C-pillar jumped off the pulley with the sunroof half-way open. Cost over $3k to fix.

I played it all the way through, simply skipping the cut scenes in their entirety.  Worked great, except sometimes I missed the line-up for my next mission and head to wing it.

If you think human corpses are the worst thing the trailer hauling your groceries previously contained.... ummm

Meh, always been an issue:

She told people at the scene that she was having a medication issue, but changed her story for the state police.  Police report says she was trying to plug in her phone.

Same thing happened to my wife. She was in a late-model Ford Fusion and oncoming vehicle was a late 90's Ford Expedition. Except the Expedition wasn’t passing anybody, but simply failed to straighten the wheel after coming out of a curve. At the last second she did exactly what you’re not supposed to do, but it…

aaaaAAAnd you look at those ads for a few seconds longer while waiting for the comments to load.

I’m a huge fan of land yachts and bench seats. It appears to be in great shape, but between the age and mileage, I’d put this car in the ‘tired’ category.  And for $8500, I’d like a car without terrible steering geometry that causes the front wheels to scrub HARD at full lock, as all of these full-size GM offerings…

Tradition, familiarity, and function.

Metcalfe isn’t particularly well-versed on the Cherokee, calling it the “Wagoner”
