Just another bad VW/Audi design.

My wife lovers her Audis. I don’t love working on them (but do), and this video shows some of the reasons why. I preferred working on my BMW when I had it, and it wasn’t a pleasant car to turn wrenches on.

I really can’t believe how unbelievably stupid these have gotten (and mostly were from the beginning). People trying to one up strangers on the internet for quite literally pointless likes/hearts/stars.

Pointless death as a result of one of the more pointless trends of my lifetime.

Dear Penthouse: It was a hot day in the summer. The mechanic’s blue shirt was unbuttoned an extra notch, showing glistening chest hair. His hands were the rough, strong hands of a working man as they shook mine and I looked into his grey eyes, steely as the tools he wielded.

Well I had been going to this mechanic for years and thought he was pretty solid. A lot of other people went there too, but after awhile his work went downhill. It was gradual so it took awhile to realize the reason I was going was to talk to the other customers in the waiting room. In the end we realized he was just…

8/10 - Strobe sensor for emergency vehicles.  Next time you see the fire truck, look for the white strobe light in the middle of the light bar.  The speed flash tells the light to change to let the emergency vehicle through. 

Horn stalk - Early airbags, and they hadn’t found an elegant way to put the contacts on the wheel. 

Good News! The Dacia Sandero is cheap!

I was in a moderate accident when I was a senior in high school (got t-boned), so like 18 years ago. Whiplash and a concussion. I don’t think my brain has every really been the same since; I can’t describe it, but everything has just felt like it comes to me just a millisecond slower.

Oh hell YES! I confess I didn’t even read any of the write-up (sorry Rob). Looked at photos, looked at price, a millisecond later clicked NP. Must be basketball season because this is a slam dunk and potential 100 percent Nice Price!

Allan McDonald was one of my heroes. While he wasn’t able to stop the launch, he spoke up, and when the heat was on, he spoke up again.

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) were deleted.

It’s such a one-dimensional, narrowminded, troglodytic notion of car enthusiasm too. Mashing the ‘Go pedal’ and going fast isn’t the only way to appreciate cars.

I’ve definitely done some extra-legal speeds in my day, and may have illegally street raced once or twice, but I’ve certainly never done so with a crowd of hundreds lining the street.

Star for the “Wraith”.

I think you and I would probably get along famously.

Apparently, since you can’t seem to shake this bad take of yours.

Tuna, no crust?

Clearly his tires were overinflated by 0.5 PSI.  

Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator. Never understood the appeal of having one as a DD.
