Severely geared down SPOAD Samurai, down a steep hill off road, blowing the rear brake cylinder (The passenger one, that crosses over to the drivers side) gearing down like mad with the handbrake in the full up position, hitting a frost ditch becoming airborne heading towards a friends rig at the bottom of the hill.…

I have never found a reliable stud finder. It seems the moment I touch one, it goes off. I’ll see myself out now.

1993 Ford Explorer Sport. The most unstable vehicle I have ever driven in my life. Not to mention 2 tire blowouts. Had it up on 2 wheels a few times while avoiding idiots, and it’s ass would come out faster than a hookers when the Navy is in town.

Well “Why I’m trading my $1 Oldsmobile For a totalled 2003 Kia” says it all.

I used to own a Sprint. They are a great little econo-car that can, when you learn that 4500rpm is a great shift point, get out of its’ own way. My only issues with them was hard avoidance while down shifting would partially separate the exhaust, and doing the heater core. Mine had a sunroof, so I could stick my legs…

Hand it over to the Jalopnik crew, they will sus it out!

It found a mate. :-)

Wait till they use a metal topped chimney as a mating tapping point. Scares the frig out of you if you are inside at the time!

Wonder when the spark stops and physics takes place, especially on really cold days. Do they pre-heat the gasoline somehow? Gosh, this puppy will be even more noisy than my 1st Gen SkyActive. But I can live with that :-)

That hood is so long, it makes puts a dinosaurs schlong to shame.

It is called a clutch and aggressive shifting. :-) Or, you could try digital driving, you know on and off the pedals.

I think she has built in airbags.

Not only sun roofs. My 2 Door Vitara with removable hard top and my mothers Sidekick had a shattering experience from similar causes. Both vehicles were parked in a cool spot in the shade, both were moved from shade into hot sun. Both hardtops had the rear window shatter upon closing the door. Me, worst return from a…

9 hours, a wee bit much. However, back in 2004 or so whilst travelling through northern Saskatchewan saw a long grain hauler block (Probably the only one) Intersection in a tiny town for 45 min. In chatting with them, the gas station/Subway/Icecream shop was the best and closest for many hundreds of Ks’. The locals…

She was busy removing a CV Shaft from ye gob man! :-) Give her a break (LOL Brake) she is a busy lass replying to all of these QOTD!

All of the above are illegal in Canada for use in self defence. That is why I let SWMBO chuck me around after some basic training in the art of using weight to your advantage. My neighbours were howling when I got her from behind and she jumped up, came down on my feet and chucked me over her shoulder after only 30…

So save the $1500 Canucky bucks and get a sedan that with the seats folded down, you can actually sleep in in a pinch when you are 6'2" Guess what I did with the $1500 savings that made me sleep in it? G’wan, I dare ya! LOL.

I test drove an older one for a work mate. She loved it. I did a drive, sticking rear callipers, rust holes behind both rear tires, water in the trunk. For 4K Canucky bucks (Dealer) and 200K on it I told her to walk away. They have (Well, my 2014 does) plastic shields behind the wheels. 4 years of driving her in the…

There is an additive you can put in. As long as it is no a full fill, you use the correct amount according to the “Oopsy” receipt showing the amount of gasoline put in. My father bought a used Ram 2500 HD diesel from a camper rental place. It had stickers everywhere saying “Deisel Only” and came with a few litres of…
