Hyundai Accent. It’s a small car, cheap. Abundant. And utterly forgettable; It has no sporting credentials, it’s not something people dream of or lust after Unlike the Soul or the Telluride, it’s a car that you see, but you never notice; They’re everywhere, ubiquitous. They comprise corporate fleets of runabouts and…

This whole period, from the late 60s up until 1974, where Volkswagen knew the Beetle sales were not going to hold it u forever, when it kept trying new ways to remix the formula and bring sales back up, is super interesting. But it always comes back to one theme; Volkswagen was experimenting with so many ways to keep…

One problem with this however is that a lot of RV campgrounds, probably in an effort to keep away the ‘homeless rabble’, have age cutoffs on the RVs they will allow into the campground. It doesn’t matter if you have the mintiest factory-fresh RV in the world, you will be turned away if it exceeds the age cutoff for…

But what do we mean by greatest? If we’re going for installs and durability, I gotta say, the VW aircooled Type-1 engine. The same basic design was produced from 1938 to 2003, and it found its way into every beetle, every VW bus until the Vanagon, a variation of it powered the Porsche 356A, it was used an an aircraft…

Probably a good time for a reminder. All cops are bastards. All cops. Every single one. Yes, even that one, which did the heartwarming thing. Yes, even the cool one down the street who throws the ragers. Every single cop is a bastard. A spherical bastard, because they are bastards no matter which way you look at them.

But it needs 4 doors so Ford can justify charging $45,000 for the base model and $100,000 for the king ranch lariat kingsford harley davidson edition. Everyone is happy about how “small” it is but like every Ford pickup, it’s literally a Lincoln town car with a cargo box.

You’re right, he’s just a regular old nazi, not an edgy 4chan nazi.

My Kia Soul manual could only be had with the basest trim level and with the smallest engine (1.6) offered in 2016. It’s more luxurious than some luxury cars, the manual gearbox is a joy to row, and because of that manual gearbox, it’s one of the sportiest cars I have ever driven. It seats five and swallows up cargo…

This is dangerous stuff. This cell phone hacking technology places us in a terrible gray area. The 5th amendment in the bill of rights guarantees a right to not self-incriminate. But what if you decline to consent to having your phone ripped? I remember when I was in school, it pretty much operated on a ‘no rights for…

The owner is being pretty Cavalier with the price.

I have a cure for such intense stupidity.

I see a lot of hate being directed to the author because this machine is not strictly “bricked”, but he raises an excellent point. As more and more of our home appliances become part of the ‘internet of things’, and as planned obsolescence is wrung out to the minimum product life that it can sustain, I think we are…

The half-hidden headlights of the Z31 were a purely design-driven choice. And it was not the result of a committee or anything like that. The S30 and S130 had the distinctive “sugar scoop” headlights that were common in some of the European cars that inspired them. But those are typically only seen in fixed-unit round…

Here is your daily reminder.

In real war, there is a reason why the US uses the 5.56 caliber. Because the bullet will tumble, fragment, and cavitate the flesh around it. And the reason why this was chosen? Not because it kills better. Because it maims better. And the LRAD would likely be banned under the Geneva conventions. Already, it bans…

It’s not broad enough. “A few bad apples” ruins the whole bushel. They need to be thrown out completely. Fuck the police and fuck them hard.

I think that’s a term being used for insurance purposes. I have seen a 2+2 being called a 2-door sedan other places as well, especially if the car is not actually offered as a straight 2-seater. The Mustang, to my knowledge, has always had a back seat.

This “maximize shareholder value at all costs” mentality that businesses have is what makes the US business climate so toxic. The executives running these businesses literally cannot see past the tip of their own nose, focused only on what the next quarter can bring the shareholders and holding little to no regard for…

I disagree. Gemballa didn’t go too far enough.

NASCAR has been a 200-MPH demolition derby for as long as I can remember. Restrictor plates at the super speedways, the winnowing of tracks so that most of the schedule is at super speedways, the marketing of ‘the big one’, the phrasing of “rubbin’ is racin’!”, the way the rules allow and encourage shunting, slamming,…
