Really pissed off the parking enforcement people at one GM office. Guy owned a SAAB 9-2X and parked it in the GM Pride spaces. You know, the prime location spaces where only GM cars are supposed to park. That car and a rolled PoS Impala were evidently not the sort of cars parking enforcement wanted parking up close…

My neighbors moved to E. Austin. They ranted and raved about how the poor minorities must be protected and that gentrification was soooo wrong. Spent paragraphs echoing their Liberal copy. Then one sentence at the end saying. “Since gentrification is happening without us, we see our choice to move there as not…

Don’t forget to square off those wheel arches. If it works on the CR-V, then it should be a hit on the ‘86.

Ran Kumhos back in 2005 because they were the cheap option. Good tires. Not great. Less than good in cold or if they were more than 2/3 used up.

Used to run Coopers and Goodyears on our full size, 1/2 ton trucks. Coopers were less expensive and lasted longer with fewer failures.

Now if only there were HUs that were compatible with the integrated nature of modern cars. So many car functional settings are controlled through the OE HU. Maintenance, door lock settings, remote settings, interior, etc.

Darn skippy! Their current hotdogs are sad. While they are at it, fire the Sam’s Club infiltrator that canceled it.

This just might be Taco Bell’s most real meat product of all time. Assuming it doesn’t have too much ‘pink stuff’ additive or whatever they call the equivalent for their chicken-type meat.

Money grubbing greedy asshole to be exact. I guess the GoFundMe amount wasn’t enough.

Probably a pristin 1963 Chevrolet Impala sedan that is residing in a family member’s garage for the past 30 years. I expect to get it running within the next 6 years. I’ll keep it until the Environmental Police manage to find and seize it citing ’Weapon of Mass Pollution’ laws.

Wasn’t there a big push back in the 70's to use only diesel powered buses after a series of horrific accidents where people got toasted badly.

Technically there are challenges with running long electric pulls. It’s not as simple as using a really long extension cord. Especially when the draw is high and the voltage is lower (relative to high volt transmission). Not saying it cannot be done, but there is increased cost with more capable equipment.

I saw no briefcase, but come to think of it, for a grumpy old man, he did seem to be nearly ‘on drugs’ happy that day. The company was on a “play stupid games, pay stupid penalties” run during that time.

A major computer manufacturer I worked for years ago let go a software engineer. He cleared out his desk, but stuck a sign on a busted up laptop that said “DO NOT SHUTDOWN”. We figured he had a good reason to put the sign there, so we left it alone. There were several old laptops and desktops around the office with…

Blaster and Aerokroil are my 2 go to products right before I try fire.

Saved for months to replace my trash Pyramid stereo with a nice Alpine. Had one similar to the one in the pic till someone stole it. Replaced it with a Kenwood. A stereo junky friend swore by Alpine and high end Clarion.

I get out and round from time to time and it does seem there are more drivers doing it badly. Outside of the large city I live near, the police seem to be pulling people over just as much as before. In the city, it is now rare to see the police doing traffic stops and people seem to be doing all sorts of delta bravo…

Growing up we had a local dealer that was generous with the test drive period. They were so sure you’d like the new car, that they’d sell your old car before you came back the next day. Some people just didn’t appreciate their enthusiasm about selling you a new car.

I stand corrected. Thx Goobin.

The KA24 series engine will run to 200K or more with regular maintenance. Wickedly amounts of utility and a solid powertrain are the Element’s forte.
