In order to be a bad sports car, the Eclipse would first have to become a sports car.

“Imagine telling someone from 15 years ago that people are paying over sticker for a Kia Sorento.”

The exclusivity contract between Underwood and Huy Fong was understood differently between the two parties. Huy Fong wanted guaranteed product every year, but thought they would always at least get market prices or better. Underwood made significant investments to guarantee they would be able to provide consistent…

Paying a premium to play a game sooner is how games have been released for going on 40 years now, so if you’re trying to stop this practice you’re a little late.

Honda Element.  I think the only people who were permitted to buy these were Boomers.

That driver sounds like real Republican Attorney General material.

Honda: Yes, we want the best engine, the best transmission, and the best suspension.

The Grumman LLV

List needs more Rosenbauer DA-1500.

Perhaps an odd choice, but the Saturn Sky always seemed like it was especially designed with the yellow color in mind.  There’s such a good balance of silver and black elements to compliment the wheel and tire color that it makes the body color really pop.  It just always felt very intentional.

And if the drone or aircraft that took the photos of his yard never actually flew directly over his property, then this entire argument does not apply. They can simply take photographs from over the street, no trespass of any kind has occurred. Also, unless the intent of the photographer is to capture the ‘plaintiff’…

I owned a 2004 Saturn Vue AWD with the L66 (Honda) V6. I cross-shopped it against the Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe, Ford Escape, and all its GM corporate clones (the Torrent GXP and Equinox Sport weren’t available for a few more years). It was easily the best-handling, most responsive chassis of the bunch. Yes,…

I really wanted to like the TourX because I’ve been hoping for more wagon options in the States again. However, the driver’s seat and control layout was the most awkward and ill-fitting setup I’ve ever had in any GM car. Nothing was where it should be or sized correctly. Personal tastes vary of course, but my spouse…

Probably an unpopular answer around here, but I would say when it comes to teaching kids to drive stick, the correct answer is ‘don’t’. The last thing a new driver needs is anything that makes the task of driving without killing themselves or anyone else even more complicated and involved. Manual transmissions aren’t…

Is it weird that I kinda want that Cadillac to ditch the pagoda in the back and turn it into a Cadillac El Camino? It’s already a RWD V-8 with low mileage.

Having lived in New Hampshire for a few years, the absolute best snow brush I ever had was a simple 36" shop broom. Just unscrew the head and it takes up almost no space in the trunk, but it could clear the entire car of snow in about 15 seconds.

You could always read the press release?

Nah, you don’t have to make the platform doors exactly the same size as the train doors. The platform doors can be wider than the train doors, giving drivers a few feet of leeway. In many stations they already have to stop fairly precisely anyway so the drivers can access control panels outside their windows or view…

When I lived in New Hampshire almost 20 years ago, there was an active Pan Am airlines operating regionally there, although they appear to have gone south in 2004. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_American_Airways_(1998%E2%80%932004)

There is a difference between a ‘weak’ engine and a ‘bad’ engine. The Iron Duke was certainly weak. It was never bad. They are bulletproof, easy to work on, and will last nearly forever with regular maintenance. The world is full of examples of fancy, high-power engines that regularly detonate unless absolutely…
