I see what you’re saying, but I don’t think it would be any different liability then the actual road crew or the city coming out and putting up a cone or a barrel around it. If you hit that it is your own fault. Besides, the road isn’t their private property.

Okay smart ass, tell me how standing outside taking video of and laughing at people damaging their cars is acceptable though? Especially when they could have done something to warn people? If it didn’t potentially cause an accident I would have had the foresight to change lanes or slow down as much as possible and…

You stack two tires from your shop and duct tape a piece of cardboard to them. Then take a crayon and write “pothole” on it.

If I was dumb enough to hit that pothole and I came out of it with a bent rim or bad tire and I saw these idiots outside filming it instead of reporting it or putting up a sign that said “bad pothole” I’d come back late at night with a fucking brick for their window.

Got my first BRAND NEW car 3 years ago which was a ‘15 Mazda6 and I feel your pain. A month after I bought it a fucking tree branch that was about 10 ft. long managed to fall of the tree and spider crack about 1/4 of my windshield. at least it didn’t do any damage to the roof and it only scratched the hood.

Then…

Unless there’s a hell of a good CPO warranty on these or I went the Demuro Carmax Warranty route there’s no way in hell I would own a used BMW (or Audi) of any sort and I won’t pay to lease one either. Aside from e30's I have talked to many car enthusiast friends who finally decided they had the money and patience to…

There are very LONG stretches of highway in Michigan where there is absolutely NOTHING for inhabitation and little reason to slow down aside from road conditions and/or risk of hitting deer, etc. When you have a state with sparsely populated rural areas and lots of 2 lane roads I think it’s completely logical to…

The trans died in my 2nd gen Tracer wagon beater too. It was my winter beater when I had my 91 Prelude Si. So in the summer while I was still away for college my brother inherited it so he had something to drive since he had recently gotten his license and hadn’t bought his own car yet. I come home in the fall to…

I had an EPIC Tracer wagon beater that I need to post about later. This will probably be the least “Meh” example to contribute. Let’s just say that my approach to beater “decoration” was that people were going to point and laugh at the early 20 something man in the compact station wagon, so I might as well give them…

That is fantastic, and also dream crushing when I read how much fabrication and parts bin improving he had to do to make it happen.

For what year and is VW trying to sell him the entire dash?

I’m sorry but that’s just nuts. If glove boxes were really worth $900 I’d be spending every weekend in the junkyards looking for them. Even the MK3 VW upper glove boxes (a rarer part that only came on 2 model years if it didn’t get an air bag) sold for…

I feel bad for you if you’ve limited ALL of your driving experiences to RWD cars, of which there are very few being built these days compared to in the past. Expeand your horizons a bit.

Ah yes, the AT, probably one of the ONLY places in the US where I would even remotely consider picking up a hitchhiker.

I did a week long/50 mile section hike in NE Tennessee years ago and I was taken back by the idea that if I needed a ride back into town I was told to just hitchhike and I shouldn’t have a problem…

I can’t wait for this lame ass trend to be over with and for the idiots that built shit like this to try and resell these cars. NOBODY besides another stance fuckboi is going to want a car that had the fenders cut up with a Sawzall to install these excessively wide and riveted on flares, and there’s no way you could…

If it’s anything like the Liberty Walk kits, they literally take a Sawzall to the fenders to clearance more space for these these stupid flares and run wider wheels.

THIS. I’d definitely want to see some good in depth reviews of the fix cars before I committed to buying one. *coughcoughJalopnikcoughcough*

It’s silly that they don’t have a cooperative standard for the plugs across the board. I get it to a certain degree, if you spent $70K plus on a Tesla and expected to use their charging infrastructure you’d be pissed if you pulled up to a known location and found a Volt or a Leaf charging there, but the more the…

Agreed. The new Hondas and the new Camry are fucking hideous. I don’t think it’s possible to tack on any more weird angled faceted edges and fake air ducts then these things have. It’s as if the company as a whole went into a conservative styling comma for the last 15 years or so and suddenly woke up to design…

First thing I thought of too. I agree that all of the “knife edge” styling has gotten over wrought these days, but do we really want to go back to the Ford Taurus “Bar of Soap” styling?

Exactly. It’s not the smartest financial decision, but if you’re going to go that route with the car anyway it’s about the only way you’re going to be able finance performance parts.
