Click and Clack said a good way to learn is (in a flat empty parking lot) let out the clutch in 1st with out touching the gas pedal. Also a lot of manual drivers keep the rpms too high. Cruising down a residential there is no need to keep it at 3000 rpm. And read the owners manual.

Nice. A car that is used as a car. And wrenched on like a car, instead of an owner who is scared to change an air filter himself “because it’s a Ferrari”. Reminds me of a lady I knew who hauled sacks of topsoil and paving stones for her garden with her S Class.

How about some aero mods to improve mpg ?

RHD car, maybe off to africa, India or Pakistan. Then in five years at Hoovies Garage.

Its a lot easier to move and carry a ton of stuff with a canoe than hiking over rough terrain and everything on your back.

Vancouver’s public transit system gets a fair chunk of money from gasoline taxes. The past few years they have been getting less and less money from that tax. Different urban planing, better public transit, more bikes, people driving less because of the absurd price of gas ect ect. They wanted people driving less and…

Being down on power saved his tires, everyone else said their tires were shot.

Mobutu did it better.

Buy a Bolt !

Scotty Kilmer says inline fours are better than V sixes !

Hopefully it will shoot sulfur compounds into the stratosphere and cool things off a bit.

How much did Uber raise its rates on this ?

I used to haul firewood in a honda civic hatchback. But it was just local stuff, old broken pallets, someone cut down a tree in their back yard, ect.

If it was cheap, reliable and long lasting it would be a good buy. Similar to how the old fashioned crown victoria was kept around for a long time. But I really doubt it would be reliable and long lasting.

Speed is the name of the game now. No more two line pass offside. Hooking, grabbing, holding, any interference is now strictly called. The goalie is limited by the ‘trapazoid’ and every big hit is scrutinized for head contact.

Porsche 356. Silver grey. Mom turned left on rue Ste. Catherine in Montreal near Birks and a taxi came along and smashed the nose of the car. Mom was pregnant with my sister, 1965ish, and mom’s parents were crammed in the back seat. Mom and sister were ok. Mom said Dad never once mentioned it or complained, I guess he…

This is why larger sedans that don’t have rear fold down seats is dumb.

The idiot politicians and lobbyists who didn’t believe in a warming planet used to say “its not really happening” now know that can’t use that garbage excuse because global warming is so obvious, scientifically and anecdotally. Now they have changed their excuse to “its not caused by humans”. BS ! 

There was a fishing spot where we had to squeeze between a fence and a canal. There was a 3 legged groundhog which had its hole there. On the way home we encountered it. Even 3 of us with sticks could not scare it off. It was mean as hell as was going to defend its home to the death. We had a much longer walk and had…

WTF. The thing was scared and felt threatened. So it took it run at the officer. All the officer had to do was run into the grass and brush on the side of the road and the groundhog would have given up and stayed off the road. I bet if some one with a legal gun had done the same the same cop would have arrested him…
