I do miss “glass or gate” option hatches/tailgates on wagons and SUVs

fucking amazing!

Ah, the Land Rover in it’s natural habitat, on the back of a flatbed tow truck headed to the shop.

*objectively good only applies to warrantied vehicles

It’s down there in the fine print somewhere

The person with the Chevette will still beat you in that contest... only to be outdone by the Pinto or Vega owner... who in turn would be beat by someone owning the worst British Leyland crap from the 1970s. And that person will be beat when someone from the Lane Motor Museum shows up with the Hoffman...

My firm has a number of clients in the oilfield services industry. The stories they have are mind-boggling, mostly involving guys lighting cigarettes in the wrong place (e.g. standing on top of an open tank with frac water flowing back into it) and getting blown a quarter mile down the road.  Common sense is NOT…

Makes me want to start a punk band just to call it “Ingestion Zone.” First track - “Life Sucks . . . And then You Die.”

2nd Gear: ““You cannot be a manufacturer and a dealer,” McMahon said. “That’s in the law so we think it’s pretty clear.””

I’m looking at the CX9, or maybe the new cx70/90 when they come out. we have the cx5 and cx7 but the cx7 is 12 years old, hoping to hold on another few years to see what happens with Mazda and EVs or look at another manufacturer. 

The only answer is the Bugatti Atlantic:

A perfectly good road rat for $2500. Ride it hard, haul stuff, drive it in the city and park it on the streets without worrying about it. Nice Price.

Now the “Hold my Beer” guy who went after him.....

I’d argue the Tempo was a bigger POS.  I drove both new back in the day and at least the Yugo had some Fiat genes to it so it sorta wanted to be a decent driver, but that Tempo was garbage.

Hideaway headlights:

I still think it would’ve been funny if Season Two was just a re-release of Season One.

I really wish book recommendation articles would split up SF & Fantasy. I don’t mind if others enjoy the sword and sorcery genre, fine, knock yourselves out. I don’t, though, and it’s a PITA to have to sort through the dross to get to the stuff that’s interesting. 

You can drive whatever giant, high CG, soft suspension vehicle with its spare 1,000 pounds that you want. Just get the hell out of the left lane, I’m using it better than you are.

I stand behind your post with all my being. I owned a 2003 LR Discovery for 7 years, it drove maybe 4 of those years. Still sitting in the yard because of mystery overheating.

That’s quite a statement.
