I was going to say that even with a well functioning transmission, the Ford still isn’t worth as much as a Corolla, but it is proper though to factor in punitive damages.

The good news is that the ambulance didn’t have to take him off the mountain. He tumbled his car all the way down into the valley.

He guy probably steps onto an escalator and goes “Wow! Hold on tight Martha. We’re in for a wild ride.”

Are we sure that the Blackwing engine isn’t carrying on the legacy of the Northstar, but GM recognized the idiosyncrasy earlier and decided to pause further vehicle applications until/ they figure things out?

I really don’t have strong “Brand Loyalty” for most stuff. For cars, it comes down to whether I like it and do I want to pay the price of ownership. I lean toward Honda based on my personal experience and I know the nuances of engineering and how to work on them. Toyota also holds a favored position due to family and… Read more

When I was young and learning to drive with a King Kong clutch, it was a little funny watching me walk around after parking it. I would either stomp with my left leg or look like I had some nerve damage and my leg flopped and wobbled.

I don’t own a hybrid. Up to this point (Toyota’s Rav4 Prime powertrain) there hasn’t been any with power, let alone a package with performance in mind. Now if Toyota or Subaru (pleeeeese, please) takes the RAV4 Prime drivetrain and puts it in something more sporty than a transportation appliance with “Sport” badging,… Read more

I might re-visit left foot braking. I’ve driven manual for most of my life and some of those manuals had break the seat off the rails, heavy clutches. My past attempts at left foot braking usually led to anti-lock activation. My left foot only has two settings evidently. Lite and To The Firewall.

Too often politicians incorrectly surmise that in order to protect people, you must restrict their rights.

Go with a CU. They don’t have the sea to shining sea convenience of big banks, but you avoid the indifference of Customer Service and fees. Read more

On top of that, there’s a new “AT4" off-road trim for those who want to take a mid-size GM truck out on the trails, but who for whatever reason don’t want to buy the Chevy Colorado Z71 or the extremely capable but pricier Colorado ZR2. Read more

Come on G/o Media. Get your adverts under control. They are screwing with your content. Read more

My 2016 Accord had active noise canceling. I unplugged the module that was responsible because it didn’t play well with aftermarket audio upgrades. Read more

There’s probably a pause on the line before the insurance rep says something to be effect of ‘Is there anything else I can help you with?’

I also have a card that I only use a sketch places like gas pumps. Cannot say that my card info was compromised at a gas pump, but with my card info being stolen annually, the gas station only card idea was implemented. I also only use 3 stations now in my area unless I’m traveling. Two of which use touchless and the… Read more

I’m sure in her heart she felt that it was someone else’s fault the insurance lapsed and the accident happened. Life is just so unfair to her.

and it (China) will end its practice of pressuring companies to give them technology on the grounds of having better market access. Read more

I’ve been pulled aside a few times after going through a body scanner or metal detector. I don’t recall ever getting any pre-pat down speech. Of the two times I can remember they actually patted me down, only once was it anything close to an effective search. The other time I was when I had my family with me. He was… Read more

Glad someone else notice that import makes don’t have a large presence outside of mid to large cities. Now the rural population may not seem as important than the cities, but there are still a lot of people that live outside cities. Read more
