Nothing I could ever do could compete against my dad. My dad used to buy JB Weld by the gallon. His entire family was JB Weld-o-holics.

“Now, I tell you this never would have happened with clean-burning propane.”

Oh I know it. He’s an ass and a buffoon but good god this was just common sense. The fact that they openly laughed at him during that speech makes me want to be less sympathetic, but those delegates aren’t the ones who will be paying 5x for heat this winter (if they can get it at all).

But that’s a car that you can go to a dealer and actually drive and review before ordering. Not to mention it comes from a brand known for their quality and reliability. Pre-ordering a crossover that doesn’t exist yet, and from Dodge no less, is absurd.

Turns out Americans would rather own something they can buy and get serviced at their local Dodge dealer as opposed to trying to find an Alfa dealer within driving radius that will still be open in 5 years. It doesn’t matter how nice this car is, if the only way you could get one in the US is by going to an Alfa…

Just make them drink the water

Between 4:59 and 7:46 p.m. on July 29, the tank operator overrode the waste treatment alarms 460 times, or about once every 20 seconds, according to the notice. Another “high level” alarm was recorded at 11 p.m

The Flex was a great car actually. It was big enough for a whole family, had more power than it really needed out of that ecoboost, it looked pretty damn good, had AWD for snowy climates but never tried to act like it had any kind of off-road chops, and you could get a really well optioned one for under 40k.

Sure, I’ll go for the obvious:

I hope I’m not the first person to tell you that water shouldn’t be the sole suppressant for a lithium-ion battery fire. I wouldn’t be surprised if the fire was far more intense than it should have been simply because the firefighters at the scene didn’t have the experience or equipment necessary to deal with a…

When I was beater shopping I used to set the minimum price at $500 or $750 to weed out a lot of those. Didn’t work all the time but certainly helped a lot. 

Sure as sh!7 there are articles - one is even on a dealer website - about Ford recommending a reduction in weight if towing at altitude. How would that even work, though? If I’m driving from Chicago - 600' above sea level - to Denver while towing a trailer with a few cars on it, the only things that would reduce…

I watch TFL pretty regularly and somehow I have missed this. I will have to look it up because I have a Ford SD.

I’ve often wondered the same thing. All I can think is that the manufacturers are scared of litigation if a driver crashes and says ‘it was the manufacturers fault because they put a phone mount where I could be distracted.”

Jeep Wrangler, pick your poison on year.

‘60s American boat, doesn’t have to be fancy like a Caddy or Lincoln, just big enough to fit 4 (or 5 or 6, bench seats), long, low and flashy. Take the gang to the beach or dinner in style.

What’s up with the relatively sudden crackdown on enthusiasts?

Definitely the most bang when the hockey mom in the new Tahoe clips you while crossing three lanes because she was texting instead of looking for her exit.

As the owner of an NB I’ll agree with the above suggestion.
