Ok, I have a question. How is this TV show/cash days thing even happening? I won’t watch the show because I cannot condone street racing. There are too many innocent people injured or killed by drivers participating in the events. It seems like any time there is a public figure who does something irresponsible,…

Eighteen years working in manufacturing, using pneumatic hand tools and now ten years working at a computer eight or more hours daily have taken a toll on my hands, knees, arms and back. I have a couple of project cars and I want to wrench but there are times I feel like “I’m old and tired, ugh.” 51, if you’re…

It is sad that they don’t make unique vehicles for the US market.

I had a co-worker who was a former basketball player. Six foot nine inches tall. Drove a yellow Super Beetle. Big guy in a little car.

There are plenty of meh cars. To an enthusiast, an average transportation appliance will likely be meh. I consider myself an enthusiast but my financial situation only allows purchase of beaters or “meh” appliances. We just have to remember to enjoy the drive, even if we’re driving some soul sucking appliance. My…

I find it pretty awful that anyone would threaten Mike, Michelle or Chloe. I’ve met 2/3 of the family and to say that they’re charming, pleasant and good people is beyond an understatement. I’ve watched some of Mike’s video postings online and one of the things I remember is him having block people because of…

2001 Volkswagen Jetta TDi. Loved driving the car but it loved draining my swamp... um, my wallet much more. Final straw was a failed injector pump after the second transmission replacement.

This... is Eleanor. http://www.gonein60seconds.com/gone.htm Yes, the much hated huge Mustang was the original Eleanor. If you get a chance to see the original, it is a pretty good car film.

Perhaps they should hold a bake sale. Our schools have to do that to raise funds for classroom supplies and materials.

As a former Las Vegas resident (still living in Nevada), there are many sane people living in Vegas who question the reasoning behind this move. Just the fact that some tax dollars are being used to build a stadium, even if it is from a rooms tax, bothers us because our schools need improvement. Nevada is usually at…

I think the biggest complaint about terrestrial radio is that each station seems to time the commercials at the exact same time so there is no escape from them. We don’t move the Sirius into my wife’s car and if I drive it, I usually won’t even put the radio on.

I bought a Sirius radio in December 2005. I personally think it is the best investment I’ve ever made. After a couple of years, they were going to raise the monthly rates and also charge additional fees for online access unless I bought a lifetime subscription. I did just that. It was expensive at the time but…

It is true. Back in my day, WCCC and WHCN were neighbors on the dial playing basically the same music. One of these things is not the same as it was in my youth.

A friend has one. She loves it but it hasn’t exactly been reliable.

The thing I don’t understand is how does this driver not care that they’re trashing a relatively new vehicle. I get not caring what happens to a winter beater but even if it is “just” a RAV-4... What a waste.

Indeed. I did own a 1961 Corvair Loadside pickup that had been modified by a previous owner. They replaced the engine with an Olds 215. It never progressed beyond the “project” stage. I sold it a bit over 10 years ago.

Or for $2800 you could get another one that may need require a hazmat suit for entry.

My wife’s car is a blue 98 CR-V. My car is a red 2001 CR-V. My daughter was driving her red 1999 CR-V when another driver did a u-turn into the front of her car. Insurance totalled the car and I bought it back for $575. The crash didn’t set off the bags, engine still runs, a/c works. I have the acreage to keep…

So many questions, beginning with WHY??

As an enlightened human being, I am concerned about the future. I have two adult daughters and one son. I worry about their safety. I’m Caucasian, their mom is Filipina but my kids get mistaken for Hispanic all the time.
