When I was little I thought I was bullied quite a bit. It wasn’t until high school and I heard other people’s bullying stories that I realized I had a good school experience by comparison. In fact it set the stage for my high school, college, and working life, realizing I was truly a fortunate child. Even now talking…

I check the traffic before I leave every morning. It’s rare that there’s an incident before I go, but common there’s an incident and resulting backup after I’ve taken to the road. I hate to crap on their app, but it seems to me it wouldn’t be all that helpful, in a real world setting, due to the fact that most…

I gave up my smartphone because I can’t stand the telecom companies anymore. Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, doesn’t matter I had them all and hated them all. I had non-stop issues with billing, outages, coverage, and sketchy practices (like throttling and capping my “unlimited data”). When I got a job for a tech company…

Doing brakes is a good gateway into larger DIY projects on your car. I always suggest people get a good shop manual before doing brakes, because you never know what you might want to tackle next. Working on your own car isn’t glamorous but it puts you more in touch with what may be the most expensive object anyone…

Can you please list a tried and tested brand of toothpaste? Many toothpastes are abrasives, meaning they will scratch your glass. In fact, an old remedy to foggy car headlights is to use toothpaste, because the abrasiveness polishes off the oxidation before a final buff with a jewelers polish. Therefore, a list of…

That was my point. Greece knows it owes everything to the EU. Which evil is lesser?

Well ain’t that some shit.

And Greece went bankrupt and was bailout by the EU. 6 in one, half a dozen in the other.

Denver driver here. I understand your pain. I pay about $500 more a month for a place with a garage, than a place with open parking. Granted the open parking here is MUCH cheaper than NY, however, the damage other people do to your car is not worth it. You either shell out the money for a place with a garage, or don’t…

I flip flop. I love the side profile, but it’s like all the love goes out the window when I see the grill. Then I fall back in love when I see it from the side again.... then out of love when I see the tail lights....

The Koenigsegg One:1 is clearly the only car this plate should go on.

Right tool for the right job.

I like this truck, I actually want it to succeed massively like a true underdog. But holy wow, that truck, while well-appointed for sure, costs what I paid for my Ram 2500, which can do a lot more work. Although, on the flip side I’ve seen King Ranch F-150s that cost $10k more than the Titan. .....The truck market is…

GRRR!!! RAHHHH!! GET OUT OF MY WAY!!! Never understood how people can get so upset at something so trivial in life. How hard is it to just enjoy the drive? Every time I see people in the passing lane tailgating and freaking out over the tiny amount of time they think they could be saving due to another driver I just…

The Miata fandom is... just astonishing. It’s actually not that bad here. But holy wow I’ve never seen a car like this Fiat get so much hate from such a narrow niche of people before on the ‘net. You have a focused laser beam of seething hate, then literally everybody else...

This is 100% the truth. I went without a bed liner for almost 3 months after I bought my truck, thinking I didn’t want to cover the paint. Went and bought some basic stuff at Home Depot, like compost, culking, typical spring home stuff, nothing too crazy. Got home and noticed little scratches in the paint. I realize I…

The question of non-metal materials for use in engine blocks and heads goes way back. However, as far as I’m aware, the problems associated with using carbon, ceramic, or other compounds, was never overcome. For instance, steel, iron, and aluminum machine easily, whereas composite, carbon, or ceramic compounds do not,…

The rust is really confusing. In Phoenix you see junkers with missing paint that don’t have that much surface rust. It’s not all that bad, but this thing had to of lived in a more humid environment before Vegas. Anyway, CP, too much money, not collectible enough to make it worth it.... yet.

Considering it called the desert home for a couple decades, that’s pretty awful. Which.... come to think of it is why you don’t see these anymore in any place with humidity above 5%....

Citroen Cactus. It’s real and the door padding is real too. It has some insanely good reviews in Europe. I would buy one here, if they were sold here, for the simple fact that my truck is riddled with dents down both sides and not one of them was caused by me.
