You are possibly the only one who doesn't realize this is Foxtrot Alpha

This never would have happened in a hand-cranked coal dust-powered diesel with a manual 2-speed gearbox, since you can't accidentally swivel the tiller AND stokulate the collective at the same time unless you magically had two manservants tending to the axle directional and your clutch pack happened to be perfectly…

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and be one of the first to disagree with Automatic Transmissions being added. Yes, they're good for the reasons you stated but I would argue that's more than offset by people being free to drive with one hand or with a knee/leg and mess with phones, makeup, food, shaving, etc.

That depends on which end you're at. :)

Deep down, Saabists love being ignored because it lets them point out how obscure they really are.

"it's an automatic and a manual!"

I'd like to ask him........"Jose, can you see?"

Yeah, I was in the mall the other day in my relatively low-crime town, and a local cop was walking through there with black fatigues, body armor, and tactical vest like he was on patrol in Fallujah.

You say it like being part of LA County is a good thing.

My buddy had a Dodge / Mitsubishi thing (2.6l / 4 cyl) YEARS ago. That thing wouldn't go 1000kms without exploding. Crappity-crap-crap.

The new Oldsmobiles are in early this year!

Your cab of the future is late!

After reading your response to this article, it occurred to me that I am quite possibly the same kind of "n00B poseur" that you are referring to. I mean shit, I'm almost 30, have owned four cars and worked on many more, but I apparently do not fit the criteria to be a car enthusiast or, even someone who should have…

If you want racist, you should learn the reality of Lincoln instead of the myth. This is a guy who opposed slavery in new states because he didn't want black people living in them. A person who wanted all black people shipped off to Africa. Wars need excuses to sell them too. Noble causes. Otherwise people won't fight…

I wanna start the American counterpoint by founding a club where members take old Volvos, DAFs and Saabs and equip them w rally accessories and giant Swedish flags hanging out the back, and cruise up and down the boulevard cranking Abba and Roxette.
