1st gear: Part of the problem, I think, is that the manufacturers have no clue who actually owns the cars. Just yesterday my wife and I got 4 notifications for the airbag recalls. All are for cars we no longer own. Two of the cars we sold a year ago, so fair enough records take time to update, but the other two were…

1st Gear: People just don’t give a damn. They have the car, they think it too much of a hassle over a “maybe,” and so they don’t go into the dealer for the recall. This has been ingrained in them for a long time since most recalls are for minor inconveniences and easily ignored. It’s not on the automaker because they…

Hopefully pizza consulting really takes off.

Mid-grade, not even once.

More tools than parts of the car itself, but I always find myself at harbor freight getting some good old fashioned one time use tools with a warranty. Especially their low profile jack, that thing is damn amazing.

Gonna catch hell for this, but exhaust on any modern car.

The biggest threat to company profitability is the same as it has been for the past couple of decades: cheapskates Jalopnik readers who won’t buy new cars because reasons.

For sure, the cheapest set of tires you can find are going to be hot garbage, but price doesn’t always indicate better performance.

I have a titanium plate in my thumb due to cheap (and worn) tires.

The shows producers referred to the dragon as an F-15 brought to a medieval war. That seems pretty accurate.

Yeah, I had hundreds of hours in BF4. I just liked that I had OPTIONS.

People don’t pay a lick of attention to their tires and sharing the road with them should be a terror-inducing thought.

There aren’t a whole lot of turnouts. Depending on where they were in the Tail. I got stuck behind some dude just doing his daily commute while I was on it. I just gave him his space and waited. Road is not going anywhere. Doing dumb shit is how people die on that road every year.

It isn’t. There are so, so many other great backroads throughout Appalachia. But don’t tell the assclowns that, let them stick to clogging up the Dragon.

Miata illegally passes over a double yellow on blind turns and almost causes a head on collision? Maybe that’s what was wrong with it? I dunno though, I’m just a human being with eyes.

People out west on seeing videos of this road: What a cute little road. 11 whole miles?

Well, both of them S2000 driver and motorcycle driver are hugging left lane and going wayyy too slow. What’s a Miata to do?

not just Subaru now :/

Depending on the municipality, this COULD be a felony, which would permanently strip you of your right to own a firearm. Anyone who carries or even owns a gun needs to be cognizant of this.

Hand shaking is awful anyways. 75% of the time at work, it’s somebody I dislike. And then they wanna show how big a man they are with crushing, or it’s just fingers, or their hand are clammy, or they are just a dirty person.

As far as women go, I follow their lead. If they wanna shake, I’ll shake. If they wanna hug, I…
