Yep, the above statement is correct. For five years I owned a 2001 Jetta TDi. If I had bought a new car (any new car) in 2009, I would have spent less than I did on that Jetta. The car drove well, got great mileage and loved to empty my wallet. It only had one electrical issue, the clicking flasher problem but I paid…

No tire smoking for me... but my favorite donut shop closed. Place was there for years. Kay’s Pastry Shop in Holyoke, Mass.

Here’s my problem with a video like this: We do not see the “backstory.” What led to this? Did the Z pull out pass the Fusion and did the Ram feel that his space was usurped? Did the Z cut off the Ram? Did the Z take too long to pass the slower traffic and did this cause the Ram to get impatient, start flashing his…

The kid in the last segment seemed like he wanted to say, “I’m not interested in cars.”

The car will not shift out of first without it so I don’t but the car does. I can put the car into second if I move the gearshift to “2" but it will not shift on it’s own without a signal from the speedo.

Here are my stories:

The last vehicle I bought new was a 1998 Isuzu Rodeo. It was Orange. Copper Mica Orange or something was the official color. Here’s a picture of it from 2002 on a trip down Titus Canyon Rd into Death Valley NP.

Current fleet of vehicles:

The correct answer to this problem is always “someone else’s car” is the best car to learn to drive a stick.

Also, this was 1993. So this has been a thing for a couple of decades.

When I moved my family from Massachusetts to Nevada, this was our rental truck. Budget used to rent these with a 24' box on the back. With the car towed on a dolly behind the truck, we were as long as the big rigs at the truck stops. If asked will it baby. Yes, the youngest was 18 months old and next older also in a…

I couldn’t find the torque spec for the lugnuts on my 88 Toyota base RV’s dual wheels. I called a Toyota dealership, asked for parts, ask my question and parts pro say’s he doesn’t know and transfers me to service. Service jockey says “that’s a parts counter question” and I hang up. Call another dealer and the service…

One common point I see in the comments about the bad old days of the 70's and 80's is that the domestic cars were utter rubbish. I don’t remember my family’s ‘72 Torino sedan spending lots of time in the repair shop. The only major repair that I remember was a broken timing chain. It was the family’s only car for at…

This man must believe the same thing as those who don’t believe in the Federal Government and it’s ownership of property. Therefore, the Feds have no say over the land.

My little RV is powered by the same 22re engine and I know today’s ncocp candidate could keep running forever and the miles on this lovely pickup are low but it would be really hard to justify spending this much cash on a truck that is 2 years older than my oldest kid. Also, the last time I saw a 350 cc motorcycle on…

Nothing directly but...

I just don’t “feel the love” for this creation. It isn’t attractive to me. The build quality is suspect and I’d be afraid that I’d get tetanus from it.

1.) Another person’s project.

Tom, I agree with your point that if your car isn’t needing major repairs, it is probably worth keeping. A co-worker keeps telling me to buy a newer car to replace my 91 Prelude. I’ve invested about $1500 since getting it and as long as I don’t have to replace a major component, it will remain my daily driver.

Why does Jeep tempt me with FC trucks that they’ll never build.
