That would be a terrible idea. There are a lot of people right now who are barely making it with gas the price it is now. If you double the price of it at a minimum, then you’re forcing a lot of low income people to make even harder choices than they currently do. And don’t just assume that public transport is a…

My mom just bought one of these in dark gray. I like the look of it.

I think you’re looking at it the wrong way. It’s less about what speed people want to drive and more about what speed the road itself can handle. For example, here in New Mexico where I live, all of our interstate speeds are 75MPH with the exception of cities and tricky areas. In those 75MPH zones, the roads will…

Well damn. Now I want a surplus military truck.

The New Mexico thing happens entirely too much. And then to make it all worse, Colorado things they can just up and steal green chile from us. Bastards!

Yeah, but the problem with saying Albuquerque is when other people have you spell it out because they can’t fathom how to spell it properly.

I read an article somewhere by a Microsoft researcher who looked into these scams; specifically the poor grammar that’s used in them. He found out that the scammers purposefully word things the way they do in order to weed out people who might be strung along a bit by more believable stories, but eventually not fall…

Hey Steve. Once again, great article. I’m glad this came up because I looked up my car and found a few things. Is there a time limit on when recalls can be performed? I’ve got a 2003 Saturn L200 which has 4 recalls and 2 of them I’m currently experiencing. I’ve yet to check the VIN to see if they’ve been fixed or not,…

Some day I’ll be able to afford a Viper. I just hope that they’re still made when that day comes. The Viper was the car that got me into cars when I was a kid. I’ve always loved the sinister/sexy looks of them. The GTS-R and the various ACRs just made me want them more.

I’m so glad that I have my mechanic. People laugh at me for driving 30 miles out to my hometown to use them, but they’ve yet to steer me or my family wrong. Hell, I’ve had them tell me what’s wrong, and offer to explain how I could fix it instead of paying them to do the work. But they’re good guys and the only time…

There’s no traffic on the right side of the bus as it’s in the far right lane, but there’s likely a wide shoulder or just they’re on an unlined neighborhood street. The bus driver was a bit back from the curb, but really it’s no worse than I’ve seen anywhere myself. This is just like what you guys have, except flipped…

No inspections in NM unless you’re coming from another state. Although sometimes I wish they did so we could get some of these crap wagons off the road.

Sounds like NM has it pretty good too. Our registration fees are based on vehicle weight, but max out at $62/yr. Some counties have required emissions, but those are good for 2 years and usually don’t cost more than $20. Licensing is stupid cheap at $18 for a 4 year license (base license). Sometimes my state does some…

Hey Shep. Any chance you guys can scrounge up some noise cancelling headphone deals?

Oh good, somebody else saw that too. I was wondering if Fox realized what just happened.

Lettuce and tomato are fine. Onion and cilantro are fine. Pico de gallo is fine. But really, the king of all taco toppings is red and/or green chile with some cheese. All wrapped up in a nice, crunchy shell. That's the New Mexican way. That's the proper way.

I don’t know why your comment stuck me as so funny, but it did. My only regret is that I have but one star to give you.

Hmm, right you are. I was not paying attention to the specific wording in the article.

The aero package doesn't reduce horsepower. NASCAR reduced the horsepower the engine produces. They tweaked the aero package to compensate for the decrease in hp.
