This why you pay no more than $500 for a rebuilt salvage car, so that if it goes south, you have a LeMons car ready to go.

This woman's second mistake, of course, was purchasing a Volkswagen when she wanted reliable transportation. Of the two mistakes, I would say this is probably the larger one. Searching for reliable transportation and ending up with a Volkswagen is the automotive equivalent of walking into Target right before…

Would be great to have a similar entry for flushing brake fluid and changing pads! I may be doing that in preparation for track time and/or AutoX

I like the way you roll.

That's a good route, but what happens when the customer doesn't know the actual weight of their trailer/payload?

Wow is that a Power Wagon that followed you up? How did that one handle?

Do you think automakers will ever offer the option of an obese seat? Driver position for someone at a lower BMI must be different and I find it unlikely that two different sized drivers will be safe when sitting in the same seat.

Back when he was starting out, he ran into some customer service issues, I think like people not getting what they paid for. He addresses a lot of those comments on one of the earlier Smoking Tire podcasts.

Eastern Ontario is sitting at $1.17 CAD/L at the moment, or $3.9 USD/gal, according to Google. This is also the lowest gas has been for quite a while, as for most of the year it's been around $1.30.

VW: Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!

More good advice, Steve. I like your choice of throwing out the receipts the next time you fill up. I usually end up driving around with a door cubby filled with paper (especially back when I could write off some gas expenses for taxes).

I can think of worse ways to spend... however much this costs.

Does the camera make the seating position look far more reclined or is that just how the car is?

Solidworks represent!

I described it in Oppo — http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/browse-the-ed-… — you can zoom across and click a segment to see the speed/odometer/elapsed time

No, that's fine. I'm going to play around with Google and see if I can make something interactive.

Wow nice work! How close do you have to zoom to make out the individual points?

I thought about the same thing, and after using Automator and some GREP, I made a CSV file I want to try with a Google Maps application. Want a copy?

I took matters into my own hands and actually processed the PDF myself. Going to try to make a Google Maps page to view the route later.
