Marc,

Marc,

Also, are Mustangs geared for 200+? Anyone?

Has anyone questioned how they clocked the vehicle at 208? You can’t accurately pace with aircraft and I’m pretty sure most radar guns only go to 199. At least all the commercial units I’ve seen do.

Can’t speak for the xB but I’ve had an xA for 10 years and it’s one of the most solid cars I’ve ever owned. Feels like it will run forever. just like any Toyota I guess.

You might have mentioned that the name Stelvio comes from Stelvio Pass in the Italian Alps.

I’ll be in Scotland this May, perhaps I should pop over to the island and see what’s up.

Just buy a shotgun...

How many mostly trouble free miles are on your dad’s X Type?

I had one of these Pontiacs in metallic green with a white interior. Bad choice of interior color for an auto mechanic but it was a decent car and got 20 MPG on the highway.

I was a mechanic when the Accords came out and was blown away by their quality. I seem to remember that before the Accord, small cars came standard with 4 speed transmissions - 5 speeds were extra. The Accord was the first car I remember where a 5 speed was standard.

Honda, the Camry of motorcycles.

People still watch NASCAR? Looking at the half-empty stands in the picture, aparently not.

Does the Explorer seat 8?

Not really road rage but more an indication of the stupidness that is Oregon drivers - as told by a Washington driver.

Early in the morning I got on I-5 in Olympia and merged into traffic. As I did I came up on a guy in the slow lane so I accelerated to get on in front but he also accelerated to prevent it. I finally run out of lane and have to tuck in behind him and because I’m in a hurry I decide to go around him as soon as we get…

MotoGP is where it’s at.

Way more article than I can wade through but the truth is that there’s rarely a reason to blame anyone for another person’s addiction. I understand that in our current climate it’s all about shifting blame to others, but this isn’t about a person’s abilities, or a woman in a man’s world, or whether her friends failed…

There is no technology that will make a car on par safety-wise with large trucks, trains, ships, etc. So by that reasoning we should eliminate them. Or take it to the ultimate and determine what mode of travel is the safest worldwide and only allow that.

My 1994 Honda Civic coupe would commonly get 40-42 on the highway until ethonal fuel came online. Now with more miles it’s more like 36-38.

Requires Google phone, so this is great news to both the owners of that model...
