A Toyota Corolla says “I need a car to get from A to B, I heard these are reliable - I don’t need to know anything else. Don’t ask me anything about it because I don’t know”.

Ford has two very different cars named the Mustang and two very different cars named Bronco. They’ve let the marketing idiots take over and it shows. I think they better figure out their naming convention then figure out colors. And lack of green Mustang is further evidence. 

I caught an early Michael Mann TV movie called Jericho Mile from 1979 - a few months back. It’s set in prison so of course Richard Moll is in it. Robert E. Mosley (TC from Magnum P.I.) is another tough inmate. It’s about a prison inmate that can run a one minute mile and his struggle to compete as a runner outside…

No one likes the real answer because it’s boring and doesn’t sell cars: Own your ICE car longer, maintain it and drive it less. Like diet, a healthy mix is what works. Take a bus, walk, ride your bike (nope - not your e-bike) and use your car when those aren’t an option. Match that with demanding more walkable cities…

This film was a long walk for not a great pay off. If it were me I’d swap this out for the French Dispatch. 

The Bahama yellow Porsche 911 from the 1969 Robert Redford, Gene Hackman flick Downhill Racer.

Chrysler Slant-six. In addition to it’s long prodigious run in the North America, it has a secret life as a high performance monster in Australia. 

I would have kept this one to myself. 

Abusing AAA or, in my Country, CAA, is a longstanding car guy tradition dating back to the advent of AAA. Just like being a dickhead on message boards goes back to when Al Gore invented the internet. You sir are a dickhead.

In the British sports car community it is referred to as “Shipwright’s disease”. 

With Chris Hardwick also promo’d to be on the episode can expect the theme to be about giant nerds and their nerd cars?

Coupe = two door car. Sedan = four door car. 2-door hardtop = 2-door car with no B pillar. 4-door hardtop = 4-door car with no B pillar. The wagon and shooting brake distinction is new to me but I like it.

You can do your own struts. The spring compressor tool is no great mystery. I did my mom’s Acclaim when I was 17 with the external spring compressors and my TR6 a few years ago with the internal. Do it yourself. After you see how easy it you’ll be embarrassed your considered farming it out.  

“Rolling 20s” on 60-70s big family cars. Leave the wheels and stance alone. It’s just neat to see those cars are out and about. Not everything needs to be lower messed with. Leave them alone.

I have no problem paying for MTOD. I don’t love that Velocity has dumped all their garbage on there but I don’t have to watch and I easily get enough content from the shows I like (Roadkill, Roadkill Garage, Hotrod Garage and Dirt Everyday) to warrant the cost. Match that with the MTOB XBOX One App and I have a pretty…

“I reserved in store on day 1, without knowing what the Tesla would even look like. ...” He said leaning against his Pontiac Aztec.  

We’ve got a cache of these on the DVR for when we want the kids to zombie out for a bit but if I have to endure the Mer-pup episode one more time I’m Elvis-ing the TV. It still way better than that ISIS loving Henry the Huggle Monster. #Rubble4Life
