Hard to be sneaky with a tow truck.

Had I not looked at the author, I would’ve legit thought someone stole one of David’s Jeeps.

That’s nice but are you going to find one for 7500?

He has been banned by the editor from recommending Jeeps, a sensible decision.

Oh come on !

just shut up. You weren’t going to buy one anyways. Everybody on Jalopnik talks about how they would buy a brand new car, but only if the automakers sold it with their specific options, and then they use that as excuse to not buy a car they weren’t actually going to buy in the first place.

2nd Gear:

I can’t wait to see what body kits come out for this. Once used/salvage Corvettes start hitting the market, it’s just going to be a matter of time before we have Corvarris (Ferrvettes?) and Lamborvettes (Corvborghinis?). But what I really want to see is a C8 re-shelled to resemble a 1987 Pontiac Fiero.

That isn’t saying much though

FWIW, I have read in a number of places that a) higher-mileage vehicles are less prone to failures (that said, 115k in 22 years may be considered “low mileage”?), and b) the ‘00-’05 motors were 5-10% more prone to failure than the models up to ‘99.

I’ll be standing on my front Porsche screaming from my soap Boxster about how good of a deal this is

I mean... if a swastika had five spokes, sure.

Ugh, plus, they’re not even directional. Even the Taurus had directional wheels!

Did you really need to come and comment your dislike of the article?

Mostly agree, other than the pad shoe comments.  Those things basically last forever anyway so I don’t think it’ll matter much.

1.5 PSI is critical, Use a Digital Gauge

You wouldn’t have hit that tree if you had correct tire pressure.

This seems like great advice if your goal is for people to needlessly wear out their parking brake shoes in the winter. A better solution for most people is to use winter tires, let Electronic Brake Force Distribution (on more modern cars) do its job, and call it a day. If you aren’t driving like a Muppet, you won’t…

I tried pulling the electronic parking brake button in my BMW. It just told me I was an idiot, and drove me into a tree.
