This made me laugh more than it probably should have

That is a very painful question for me.

Imagine that, you like hot rods (another chopped and screwed car culture) because it was likely cool when you were growing up, but not this because you’re older.

I missed this the other day, but this is a story that needs to be told. Many, many moons ago, in 1997 iirc, I was a freshman in college. As an 18 year old, I had to find someone older to buy my booze, and the gentleman I found (and became very good friends with) was an 21 year old African-American fellow (he was…

My first car was a 1999 Saab 9-5. I got it with 140k miles after my grandfather passed away, and I truly loved it. The turbo 4 sang my song, and I poured money into it over the two years I had it. It stranded me a few times, but never in a bad situation. Around 160k miles the slushbox began to slip. It was just…

“Sir, you will need to put your pants back on immediately. No, sir, please do not wave that at me. Yes, sir, it is quite chilly in here.”

When I get loaded, people call me “sir” all the time. Usually in the context of “please calm down, sir” or “sir, you will need to get down from the table”

I think they will get phased out from both uncompetitive specs and also from a falling out of favor among consumers for passenger vehicles.
However, I agree that diesel will long be the choice for semis, delivery trucks, equipment, and large heavy-duty pick-ups for the torque and high durability of…

Meanwhile in New Hampshire....

Better headline:

Was that thing just straight unrestorable trash before they jumped it and decided to give it one last chance at glory? Or was it in decent shape and they just ruined it?

“I transformed my feet with two affordable exterior swaps!”

well, 2 anyway...one is just a bike.

Yep, gas is cheap and police departments are short-sighted.

I did a similar thing with my 17 year old BMW 540i touring, except on a slightly more expensive scale. I wanted to have a proper aux-in set up and Bluetooth, versus the cassette adapter I had been using for a while. For around $650 I bought and installed a Dynavin N6. That instantly gave my car an in-dash CD…

As a Grand Caravan owner, can I just bask for a moment in the glow of one of my car’s siblings being involved in criminal hijinks? It makes me feel slightly less like I left my balls at the dealership.

Didn’t know he was driving monster trucks, get well soon and looking forward for the return of NPOCP

I’d be pretty sure NOT to do that in front of ANY mustang, whatsoever.
