....should I feel bad if I’ve already seen it? And read through a bit of the “build sheet” before being removed, expeditiously? Working for Nissan/Infiniti has some benefits, at least.

About 2 years ago I rear ended someone at around 15 mph. Car was spray painted matte black. Tail lights and reflectors and headlights painted over. Tint so dark couldn’t see the 3rd brake light. It was dusk, so still some ambient light, I had my lights on, force of habit. I actually did see him, but he cut me off from…

Book time is 5.2 hours for the injectors. Took me 6 hours to do the injectors and connectors as I upgraded to the later injectors on my wife’s old 300zx. I do not wish to repeat that job. The egr and coolant lines were an absolute nightmare. Put so much work into that car only for the timing belt tensioner to fail and…

It was really good, in 2003. 

I’d buy one, though one much cheaper. Pull the body off, sell the frame and running gear for scrap/parts. They are worth more in spares, anyways. Find a mid to late nineties, early ought’s diesel truck and drop the hmmwv body on that frame. Easier and cheaper to get parts for. Massive improvement in reliability and…

Johnnycab is as autonomous modification like Siri or Alexa. Once Quaid took manual control, the autonomous control was overridden. Once he left the cab, autonomous control returned to Johnny. At least that is how I saw it.

If the threads are slightly damaged, proceed, if completely stripped this will not work.

This. Give me a single cab long bed! Its just me, I don’t need the extra interior room, but I do need the longer bed. 

If/once my Prius dies, a Model 3 is #1 on my list to replace it. I’ve driven a few. Liked them a lot. 

A vintage leather racing helmet, WW2 aviator goggles, and a silk scarf blowing in the wind will make any pompous asshole into a dapper gentleman, every f’ing time. That is why they omitted a windscreen. 

The Cummins was a let down. Early ones were plagued with bad crank castings that would fracture and break, usually it reared its ugly head out of warranty. Plus the unreliable diesel exhaust fluid system didn’t do it any favors. Then it was released into a dealer network not familiar with diesels and their…

Aside from a few growing pains, the new QX50 is coming out to be a decent little CUV. Just CVT. And Nissan CVT. Time will tell if it will be good. The new VC engines are good. Haven’t seen any real issues out of them. 

QX50 shares nothing with the GLC. Closer to a shortened QX60. 

QX30 is gone too. 

I leased one for 2.5 years. That was the least of my worries. Stop/start that rarely worked as designed was good one. It would shut the engine off coming off the highway. And refuse to restart. Fun times! The last time it happened I had it towed to the dealer and told them to keep it. Fun fact, I worked at that dealer…

Ridiculous! I sold my S60R for less than $3,000. It even had a manual gearbox! Best decision I have ever made.

Mercedes-Benz didn’t even tell us Smart techs how to put the 3rd gen’s in dyno mode :(

Cast and crew on Doctor Who called him David “Ten-inch.” Gotta be some truth to that. Swoon!

Some Lotus’s get unique

Its Italian. And the 1st rule of Italian driving? What is behind you is not important!
