In 3 years the Hyundai Point of Interest name badging fall off to reveal Hyundai Historical Marker

So much so, I almost can’t see them without expecting an monogram decal or sorority sticker on the back window.

Boat is an understatement. Like saying an oil tanker is a boat. Speaking of oil tanker, that’s probably what I took to keep it fueled.

There was a time I was waiting with money in my pocket for the 6 to arrive with diesel power. Part of my heart is still waiting for what I mind knows will never come.

Anything built on the “K” platform or any of its derivatives “E” (New Yorker), “H”, “P”, “J”, etc., make me queezy. My father had a base model early 80s Reliant (K based) that was an unadulterated, craptastic engineering mess. The engine couldn’t spin the tires on gravel and the brakes did their level set best to…

So what you are saying is that the company behind these chocolate ducks intentionally created a product for the ‘shadows are racist’ demographic?

Confused just a little bit about it being racist. I don’t go around looking for racist stuff in the grocery store, so can someone help me understand.

What would be really cool is for it to rise out of its hole and spread its wings.  Maybe too transformer’ish?

The Subaru CVT is a.....disappointment. I owned a 2015 WRX with a manual. Looked at one with a CVT because, heck, I had a mental weak moment. Stop and go traffic will do that to you eventually. It was okay’ish, but it seemed like the CVT was running the engine at 4500-5000 RPM anytime you needed to accelerate. Turned…

I will usually tip 20% as the baseline. If the service sucks, the % drops. If they exceed my expectations, I start adding % points.

Now if they can find a more powerful engine (> 250 HP)and it turns out they have reliability that doesn’t result in me knowing half the Service Advisers at the dealership and where they keep the extra cream and sugar for the waiting area, I will give this a serious look.

After 4+ hours at the dealership,

That only works sometimes. I’ve had quotes given to me where they state that the pricing is only good if you finance through one of their partnered financial institutions. The smart dealerships will probably only quote you a price at ‘cash sale’ if you are evasive or they think you are planning on pulling the last…

Outside of Fleet sales, it is ‘the’ vehicle for people that want a new car, need room, have bad credit, don’t have any money, not opposed to a wicked long payment terms if the monthly is low enough and for whatever reason, didn’t already get a Mitsu Outlander.

Years ago, I had a mid-1980's FWD POS. Took it to Jiffy Lube because it was freezing cold and I was lazy. One of the Techs came in with some black sludge on a white rag. “Your differential fluid needs changing.” Problem wasn’t the fluid, per se, but that the car’s differential was integrated with the transmission. I…

The front of the car makes me think they had a hood idea of some kind and a lower bumper idea. Then they said, “Hey, those headlights are cool and on clearance.” Later they realized none of the parts meshed well. To top it off, they forgot turn signals, so they added a spacer with turn signals off of a tractor.…

Wow. Just wow. Splinter and their Gizmodo MG masters actually said something not too bad about someone that Trump nominated for the SCOTUS. There has to be a mistake. I’m just going to wait for the ‘correction’ to be published any minute now with the accompanying public apology from Mr Martin. {waiting with arms…

The FAA has moved away from reviewing and enforcing changes over the past decade. It is a rare thing that they do anything more than recommend changes when they ‘partner’ with airlines and manufacturers for investigations.

Not when they are installed on a car and being used.

Everyone stop telling me what I should and should not read. If I want to read this murderous nutcase’s manifesto, I will. If I want to read the flights of social control from Marx, I will. Heck, if I want a good, sad laugh, I’ll look up the latest Trump, AOC or Warren.
