I do care about mileage, enough that I keep a record of every gas purchase over the history of each of my cars (e.g. according to the gas pump gauges, my ‘09 Miata has burned up 1307.781 gallons of gas over the 35,427 miles I drove it between the first fill-up and the latest fill-up for an average of 27.09 MPG, and

Second, I cannot fucking stand the “It’s 99 percent survivable” crowd.

It’ll need a really big whip antenna to pick up AM country stations.

You shouldn’t be dissing those people, you should be celebrating them as heroes, like stay-at-homes and REMFs celebrated the front-line soldiers in the Great War(s). Those people, surfing the bleeding edge of the finance wave (on one side, their weekly income; on the other side their monthly credit card bills) keep

Compare “Klarna,” whatever that is, I never heard of it, with the credit card department of the Bank of America. “Trash a bank if you got real balls!”

Shocking! The upper management of police departments all across the country force their taxpayer-financed employees to wear a star as identification - a star virtually identical to the stars the horrible totalitarian Nazis forced the Jews to wear on their way to the gas chambers!

That’s a beautiful restoration.  I wonder how hard it would be to fix the suspension so the car sits up high enough to actually use as a car.

There’s a big park in North Tampa called Flatwoods Park. It has an extensive network of asphalt-paved bicycle paths through it. One day I was taking a bike ride through the park, when I came up to a concrete-lined ford for a big drainage swale, full of water. Just as I got there a pickup truck pulled up beside me. At

Yeah, that phrase jumped off the screen at me, I even said “Where can I get some of that?” out loud.

I had a work truck that I drove for a year (in Florida!) with a broken A/C. When I mentioned this to the boss he said “The shop said it would cost a thousand dollars to fix, and that truck is too old to put that much money into it.”

Once I changed the clutch disc on a ‘67 SAAB 96 Monte Carlo. I took it apart, swapped out the clutch disc, and reassembled the car. I even replaced the coolant while the hood was off because it was easier to get to the radiator.  As I was lifting up the hood to reattach it to the body, I saw a circlip lying on the

Haven’t you ever heard of a product called “Goo Gone”?  They sell it at hardware stores.  It works pretty well.

If it’s like Romeo and Juliet then why haven’t you killed yourself, you cowardly asshole?

I’d pay $30.00 for this wrecked car!

VW Beetles look good in yellow. In general, small and very small cars look good in yellow.

Got hit in the back of the head by an extra-wide rear-view mirror while I was riding a bike, on the right in the same direction as traffic, as traffic law mandated and I had been taught, North up U.S. 41 (it was only two lanes back then) just North of Tampa.

The correct answer is, you say you live inside NYC? then don’t own any car at all. Unless of course you’re into conspicuous consumption, in which case, go wild.

Geezis Aitch Kee-rist, if you wanna go that far, just step up, take the next baby step and go all-out wholesome naturist. That shit’s nasty as fuck, do you seriously want to be associated with that kinda degraded smut? Whereas California clothes-free nudisme is clearly clean, natural and wholly healthy, and you end up

It’s nice, but does it have to come with the solar panel on the roof? If it were some kind of lug-zhury car, that might be good for a laugh like the conspicuous-consumption star constellation on the headliner of some Rolls-Royces, but on a car like this I’d really hate to have to pay extra for a worthless thing like

No, this is different. I’m not just talking about lies; I’m talking about lies where it is completely, flagrantly obvious, both to the guy who’s speaking and to his approving or disapproving auditors, that what is being said is total nonsense.
