I actually like the styling of the MKZ. Plus it is probably really comfortable inside. The crazy full glass sunroof also intrigues me. I'm not saying I would consider one as of right now, but if I was married this has all the trappings of a nice wifey car.

they are decent stock, nothing to write home about though. An addition of a rear sway bar would be a huge upgrade, in my '07 ZX3 I disgraced a 350Z on a sweeping 270 degree on ramp that I learned how to take in second at 50 MPH. The hatches are surprisingly roomy and there is more than enough room in back to take a…

It's more fun to have them flopping around every which way but you an tie them so the stay put behind your neck or put them up in a ponytail, or if they are long enough you can coil them up in a bun like structure on top of your head.

Yeah you can just tie them in the back. plus they act as pillows while laying on the concrete trying to loosen a bolt, or cushions from hitting your head on a chassis. Now keep in mind I actually washed my dreads so I wasn't a smelly bastard getting into a cute young mom's $62,000 Navigator. . .

What i would use is one of those Starbucks cozies from the coffee cups to take up some slack so stuff wouldn't spill out. Its not a perfect solution to the quandary but it helps and is better than using napkins. That was one of the few things I hated about my '07 Focus.

I worked at a Lincoln dealership and I had dreadlocks, 2 industrial piercings making an "X" in my ear and my septum pierced. Granted the septum lived hidden while at work, it was still pretty funny to be the guy with dreads that fixes Lincolns. It was pretty funny talking to all the old people because at first they…

Or just Google search for a stream. . . that works for me. I watched it about two or 3 hours ago. . .

Bless its little heart.

I'd raise my insurance premiums by rear ending that Fiat. . .

I don't know why, but I much prefer the Ovila Golden over the Saison.

According to all of the hot rodding history I have read, the primer paint was never supposed to be permanent, it was prevalent due to all the hot rodders doing their own body work and needing to cover the metal while they saved up to get the paint. A well taken care of primer job looks decent in pictures but when you…

No, primer is not good to leave a car in for years, it doesn't hold up to UV rays and it isn't a great sealant to protect from rust. The main benefit of primer is you get to repaint the car everytime a bird shits on it. If you like the flat black primer look just spend the money and get a real flat paint job and…

Bolt-ons which are turbo/supercharger net you around 225 whp, more than that you should've put a bigger motor in as you'll have to spend lots of money getting any more power out of it, so really an SR20 would be a better choice if you want power, the 1.8 BP if you want reliability. . . But I'd go find a wrecked S2000…

Aside from the glorious noise emitted from that, I'm assuming blown M3, I'm most impressed with how well they have the suspension sorted. It looks like it takes the jumps and bumps like a champ.

Yes for Grain Belt Premium! That is the shit right there! I just wish I could get it out here in CA.

And who said Mazda had to let go of the rotary heritage. . . Good spot. I missed it until you pointed it out.

And this youtube commercial qualifies for hoon of the day how?

Honestly, the guy you pay to take apart your car does as well. . . You know how I know? I used to be one of those guys who took peoples cars apart and fixed them. Breaking things is part of the learning curve and the only way to learn is to do it. The more you take those clips in and out you learn how to finese them…

Can someone be considered a gearhead, erm, a total gearhead if they are afraid to work on their own vehicle or lack the desire to learn how to work on their own vehicle?

When my parents and my sister bought their MINI's, they had to sign a legal document that stated that under a heavy penalty the car was not being sold for exportation purposes. So not only getting rolled by the governments but also getting rolled for breaking a contract as well. Sounds expensive to me.
