The second generation Volt also ran on regular gas, the first was premium only. So with the longer e-only range, it was also cheaper on gas. For just two folks to get around town or road trips - it’s a great car (neighbor endorsed with his 175.000 mi. cruiser). Not much cargo except with the rear seats folded; having…

The diesel oil changes are not fun or clean. The used oil is nasty but its got to be done, on schedule, every time. Glad you like to get your hands dirty and I enjoy all the projects you work on and write about. 

I enjoyed the article, as a long time resident of the North East, I’ve driven in snow/ice since the 60s in the same s$%^boxes as Rory (amazing I’m still here). New tire technology and modern traction controls are only as good as the driver (who has never been upgraded or reprogrammed). Leave earlier, go slower, leave…

I’m guessing, posed for the picture. It’s not like a BMW or LAMBO standard practice. bum bum bum tiss

I have definitely not typed it in. I’m in the living room (perhaps later in the bedroom?? jk).

Beats the hell out of the waterfall/spindle griiiilllllssss.

Depends on the car how intrusive it is. I had back to back rentals during a vacation in Europe a few years back. A Fiat 500X (I think it’s the 500L here or vice versa) and a Mercedes B(180?) forgot the number but basic same size hatch/CUV. Both were turbo diesel and manuals. The Fiat had a dead spot just off idle and…

Yes, there were corner shops that would rewind starters and generators/alternators. 

Makes sense, it takes a lot more punch against diesel compression ratios. 

This is not a story about a pan. It’s a love story about friends and memories. 

Totally wrong. The work was done at Boeing. Are you lying or just misinformed?

You have an onion problem? I’ll take them all!

Uh Rob, Tuscany to Italy’s boot is 500 miles (800 km, it’s Italy - Steve). It’s a great drive but don’t get carried away with enthusiasm. The Carabinieri are armed with submachine guns at the radar traffic stops.

A simple fact check. The DEI initiative has been in place since 2013 (thanks Obama) AND THE ENTIRETY OF DRUMPF”S FOUR YEARS IN OFFICE.

In the early morning? A teenager? I think not!

Omaha huh? There better be a multiyear supply of Omaha Steaks as part of the $7900 deal cause the car ain’t worth it.

Read my mind. While it’s an oddity (lucky survivor), the future looks dark. It won’t be expensive to maintain - you’ll just give up.

I’m thinking this one is about the same size of the current “small pickups”. Easy NP too.

I’d change “famous” boxer engine to “infamous”.

“Give him the 2023 to review, we’ll never get rid of it at $90k.”
