Someone should just make all the 2.0 liter 4 cylinder turbo-charged engines. Everyone uses one and they all have the same spec. Though it is fun to think that my 2015 Volvo V60 has the same power and transmission as a Supra. Now if the Volvo could just shed 1,000 pounds...

I mean, I spend the money for a slip because I am both too lazy to trailer and don’t want to own vehicle that is large enough to safely tow it. And thirdly, because I live in a condo and can’t park a boat where I live.  But mostly it’s because I’m lazy. And yes, I do spend a fair amount of time sitting at the dock. I…

Cost is certainly a consideration. My slip for a 22' boat in DC is $3600 a year. That’s not cheap.

I get that you want to get in some kind of argument about this, but I’m not offended by any of this. I just don’t think this particular “joke” is funny. I didn’t think it was funny 20 years ago either. It’s a cartoon character peeing on something. That’s not funny, it’s just dumb.

No, I can’t think of a thing I care less about that a cartoon strip. Roller skates, perhaps? The gag simply isn’t funny. It had it’s moment for about 4 minutes in 1994.

This happens a lot when the joke is not, in fact, good.

I'd pay a grand to see my son look as happy as yours does in that photo! 

There is nothing for me to do but applaud the naiveté of that ridiculous comment.

Money isn’t free. Christ. Try to act like a fucking adult. 

Weird that your repairs didn’t work.  I mean, videos make it seem like you fellas know exactly what you’re doing.

I keep a collapsible bucket in the back seat and some clean towels in the seat back pockets. I also keep a healthy supply of reassurances as my son always feels awful after barfs in the car. 

My mom bought one of these new. I would pay $7200 for a used one with 300,000 miles. They are pretty impressive. This one happens to be about 6 miles from me so maybe I'll take a look. 

Looks like 20" Heico's and some caliper paint. 

“And when they spin around with the steering wheel... I know people have strong opinions about this, but I hate it. A control as critical as shifting needs to happen in the same place all the time.”

It's weird to think that second rate tools made from low quality materials sold at a retailer known for pedaling absolute junk would be a problem. If it can save your life, go ahead and spend money on it. Like brakes and tires. 

You may very well be the worst mechanic to ever write a column espousing his mechanical aptitude. You don’t know what you are doing and that lack of knowledge is compounded by your lack of ability to keep a schedule. Maybe try doing things correctly and not at the very last minute. It doesn’t make for great story…

If I move all the shit on the left side in front of the drill press, I can fit a car about 70% inside. I've kind of moved from a garage for working on cars to a metal workshop. I just work on the car outside. 

This doesn't help answer the question that was asked at all. Not even a little bit. 

My old soccer coach drove a CJ5. He’s in the federal pen for being a kiddie toucher. Coincidence?

Is “numbers matching” a thing with Jeeps?
