Can confirm. Girlfriend’s civic is off by a whopping 17%. Computer reads 34 mpg combined, but reality is 28 combined. My Ford is slightly closer at 12% discrepancy - it reads 3mpg on the high side. My old Dodge RAM 2500, however, was spot on every time.

Is this a California thing? Honest question, because I have two neighbors who moved here from California (about 6 houses away from each other) last year and I have seen both of them do this around the neighborhood during the winter numerous times. Granted -10 degrees is a hell of a different environment than 65…

BWAHAHA!!! So true

While working in Downtown Denver (the most hellish place on earth for people who care about anything they own), I was sitting in my car in a public parking lot enjoying my lunch break. A car backed into the vacant spot in front of me and a man in a business suit jumps out. He walks to his trunk, which is directly in…

Pretty spot on my friend, pretty spot on. It was older than the 3.0, it was the 2.9, but you couldn’t get any closer if you tried. If I could give you all the stars I would!

I respect your opinion and profession and like I said I have no issue with supporting the maintenance of our infrastructure, but I still question how they built what is essentially a small city of tens of thousands of residents (Google Southlands, Colorado) in the time it took to pave a mile of I-70. I get it, there…

Can confirm, had Ford engine shit at 110,000 miles - with proper maintenance. Rebuilt it and drove 200,000 miles with everything else stock. Wrecked the truck against a wayward deer, learned my lesson, bought a Honda. Honda transxle shit at 112,000 miles... So umm, I suppose better luck next time for me?

Basically what I’m hearing is they replaced Jeremy Clarkson with someone who is actually worse than Jeremy Clarkson, sans racial slurs. In fact, they even attribute his behavior to pressure (like Clarkson claimed), but because they know they messed up, stand behind Evans as still being professional (despite openly…

10/10 would roll leaving cars and coffee.

Free market could have built and maintained better roads in half the time for a fraction of the cost. Here in Colorado private subdivisions and shopping centers build beautifully paved slip roads and parking lots in one winter while the government takes 2 years to pave a 1 mile stretch of I-70 at an unfathomable cost.…

That’s the vast majority of sports. He does nothing out of the ordinary compared to any other person in martial arts, mma, boxing, or wrestling. When I wrestled in school, you always cut to get down to a class, even if you were really good. Never gained to go up.

When digging into a big, complex job - take pictures first. Don’t skimp either, take detailed pictures of everything. Unless you’ve been wrenching daily for years on end, there will be a time when a picture at the very least saves you time. Especially if it’s a job that takes a long time.

As they should for cars that easily notch $100k and up. I’m talking middle of the road luxury cars most people can afford, not some people. But even if the switches are metal in those, I bet you won’t have to go far to find plastic.

I’m 100% with you. However, you’re right, it doesn’t happen anymore. Even the nicest Benz, BMW, or Lexus you could ever buy has plastic in the interior, somewhere. Usually the switches, sometimes the door panels and parts of the dash. Test drove a few middle of the road luxury cars when I was looking a few months ago,…

So are we going to see a compilation of Toyotas crashing into other cars now? Because I swear the trend of them in the news is rising very fast.

Every winter here, at least a couple times a week the news reports a car left “smoking” unattended in the driveway was stolen and wrecked. It’s truly the best example of, “it won’t happen to me” mentality.

I would love to turn one into a sleeper, and this would be a perfect example to start with - for about $2000. CP

Holy crap that’s expensive. Before I saw the price I was thinking approx. $5000.

Pretty sure Chrysler cheats with tire pressure too. Every time I got my truck back from a dealer service the tire pressure was absurdly high and I had to let air out. We’re talking 90psi and up, no joke. It wasn’t just one dealership either, but many dealerships over the life of my warranty. The only thing I could…

I think they’er assuming most buyers of this car will already be outfitted with such an “emergency kit” on their persons, anyway.
