Strangely I’ve owned three cars from my birth year within my family I drove. My first car was an 84 Skyhawk 4 door. My family also handed around an 84 Buick Century as it was the only car that would seem to never have issues as everything else in the family did. (We were poor and my grandfather lived down the street,…

Sounds like friendly fire for sure.

I’m interested in this. One thing not mentioned here is X Drive was modified. This can now stay in a snow/mud mode over 25 miles an hour. Something really annoying for current gen owners. Can’t actually do normal speed driving in a needed mode but this can.

I have bad news; I know of a postal Jeep just like this in NJ that’s been sitting for 10+ years on the side of the road for sale. It’s even on Google Maps.

Dealers still treating the Golf R as a special to price over MSRP even in the newer gen releases too sadly.

More fraud within the fish type. Whether it was “wild caught” or “farm raised” is dubious a lot. Also because some salmon is light/white in color such as farm raised, they are actually dyed. Oddly my local Shoprites will point this out (flash frozen and dyed for example) because people’s brains can’t accept a non pink…

I bought from Vroom and sold one too. My biggest problems with Vroom can be distilled down to a few areas:

A dude in NJ did a much more budget/low level version of this.

Sure, yea, this is generally true. But this article is claiming that German cars are the most expensive, plus Nissan, and they are picking off some top tier cars. Nissan GT-R? No shit it’s going to cost more to repair than a Versa.

I hope this is true because I keep thinking about how much I want an A6 Allroad and a tune. I considered the Alltrak + Stage 1 for a while as well. About as close as we can get to that Golf R wagon.

Yea this is true although I don’t have experience with the new warranty they offer. As an ex TD1 Audi APR Stage1 owner, APR had a conversation with me like this:

Was looking for this answer. The Audi is the right choice with a stage 1 or 2 tune being reliability isn’t a top priority. See if you can hunt for a body painted version.

This counts too but I was also thinking about Super Baseball Simulator 1000. You could edit a team, gain powerups, and more. Pitchers literally would have their arms on fire for better fast balls.

The recent announcement of the Ford Expedition with the third row removed is cool because this is basically what this guy did. There’s not a huge market for it and the Expedition is big, but I like the idea of a large SUV with easily removable third row. I haul crap more than I have 6+ people in my car. Very much…

My 93 Ford Escort LX-e. 5 speed manual, all Mazda based with the 1.8bp motor. I was pushing 160,000 miles on the original motor and clutch + generally everything else. Didn’t require much except oil changes. Considering it was modified pretty heavily (header, exhaust, intake, timing advance, struts, coils, sway bars,…

Maybe Mazda but I can say I don’t believe I have a brand loyalty. Wife and I have owned 3 modern Mazdas (2010 6, 2010 3, 2017 6) and I had a Ford Escort LX-e with the Mazda 1.8bp and manual transmission (all sitting on the Mazda BG platform aka 323/protégé).

I think I’m in for the $50. I have a 2019 Honda Passport. I have the wireless charger. But it is of no value when I have to plug in my phone via USB anyway for Carplay.

I get that this is or could be free. But if the $50 became something even less if you’re DIYing it to cover some form of initial development costs, I’m…

I was checking this out after Daddy Doug’s review and went to build one. I had a KL Cherokee a few years back and this looks cool enough to play in that field with the Trailhawk models for Jeep.

I never did although always regretted it every season in my KL Cherokee and A4. I don’t need to drive nearly as much anymore (if at all). For my Honda Passport, I put on a set of Cooper Discoverer AT3 4s. While not dedicated snow tires, I figure the AT snowflake rated ones are better than the OEM all seasons and the…

I was about to say the rear looks like the Macan but it could be both considering they definitely stole the rear from somewhere in VW/Audi land.
