Subaru Tribeca. But maybe I just don’t want to remember the front end of the first generation.

Will it baby?

If I remember correctly, the problem with the flying wing was instability that requires a computercomputer-assisted control system to make it viable. And that technology was not available in the 30s. Which is why the concept was eventually used once computers developed enough.

I think the sales guy could have worded the part where he tells the idiot he doesn’t know what 16v means better. But, in his defense he was dealing with an idiot that doesn’t know what 16v means.

Because they live in a place where you have a season with slush on the roads and headlight wipers are better than stopping and cleaning your headlamps every twenty miles?

The point is that you shouldn’t rely on the jack alone. No matter the brand.

While Tavarish does underplay the maintenance costs of luxury-brand vehicles, this Kilmer guy is an idiot. And a dangerous one at that. His advice to use the wrong fittings for brake lines is downright dangerous.

Why you gotta go and kill the vibe, man?

Let me see... Murdered out Benz, with a vinyl wrap. All caps add from a dealer in Missouri. Cats removed. Yep. I'm going to pass on this one.

Uh... MOPAR lift kits have been available at your friendly Jeep dealership for years. They used to be overpriced, though. If these ones do include springs and Fox shocks for about a grand then they are a great deal now.

They are Jeeps.

Considering what people are paying for rusted out, aircooled 911s...this is still stupid.

Current generation Wranglers are going to appreciate. Not sure they’ll be worth tons of money in 10 years, but they will be worth more than your average 10 year old SUV.

I always wondered if the stability/traction control on my Volvo really did anything. So first winter after moving to Anchorage, I decided to try it. And my, was I convinced it helps.

If this kills her stunt driver career, she should look into being a test driver for Lyons Motor. She would fit right in with the organization.

Not only did she drive the cars, but all the Vin Diesel fight scenes? Her with make up.

Manufacturers have the exact same incentives as the dealers to upsell extras (I.e. the MOPAR dealer installed accesories) It doesn't matter who owns the store. The one thing that can change is that a Ford owned dealer may very well refuse to take Chevys as trade ins as a way to force brand loyalty.

What would it fix? I don't have a problem with manufacturer owned dealers, but it won't do shit to fix the current car selling system (a system that mostly works but it is a royal pain in the ass) It certainly will not lead to lower prices. A manufacturer will not be able to adjust prices for different local markets,…

Back in the mid 90's when in lived in Caracas I took in my car to have it serviced. I can't remember what it was, oil change, and something else. But the car was running fine. Mind you this car had a very finicky carburetor which most mechanics couldn't adjust. But this particular shop had one mechanic -a Colombian…
