There’s the problem. The left front tire was 0.34 psi too high!

Why is that? Even the US Federal Reserve is owned by foreign companies. :)

Yes, and while they’re at it, they can sell me a space shuttle for $5000 and make $392,000 in profit per unit!

Economy cars, especially small ones, try to maximize interior volume, cargo space and other metrics while still coming in under max exterior dimensional requirements and over safety criteria. This means the body side and other surfaces are not allowed as much relief (aka drama) as sports cars, since sports cars are…

Here’s hoping they can find a decent suspension lift and off-road wheelset to try again next year!

So now shearing off some wheel studs is “totaling” a car? I’m pretty sure wheel studs do not cost as much as the entire car. How about...

There are worse options to have. Think about this. With all cars being Corollas, you could choose from:

Voisin, because of course I’m going to bring up Voisin.

Holy crap. I’ve heard stories about rust, but that is quite possibly the worst one. And I’ve seen registered VW Rabbits with larger-than-fist-sized holes in the strut towers.

That’s because Jason probably overlayed them by hand in Photoshop. I’ll give him some slack.

Is it April 1st already? I smell photoshop.

Pickups are seen as lifestyle accessories now.

“Ya’ got something in a low rise bikini, mesh if possible?”

I’m a couple minutes too young to remember those days, but am still a bit surprised no one seems to have glanced at the tags (or bought a new mattress) in the past 30 years. Thanks for the info, though. It’s reassuring to know that at least at some point, it was true.
