Uggadugging is right on, using an actual press would take years off ones life. Also fun fact, for late 90s and early 2000s Hondas, to replace the wheel stud you’re supposed to separate the hub. What one quickly finds out is that there’s enough excess material on the knuckle to grind a spot to remove the stud and then…

Yeah I’d kind of agree on the no character side, though I’ve only had it for about a month. Been trying to come up with a name, as my van was also named, and one of the current front runners is Maytag. And yeah, the trunk shape is a little narrow, but so far I haven’t run into an issue with that, I was even able to…

It is a stick at least, so has something going for it. 

Right there with you. My 97 has 251k on it but Michigan is finally taking its toll. From being in Florida in the early years of life though, the structural metal is still immaculate. 

Though I’m not a dad both of my vehicles are pretty dad like, with the van being my dad’s previously. Both are practical, comfortable, and efficient. I unabashedly love them both. Though you wouldn’t know either, both can rip a mean burnout. Hail to practical, "boring" vehicles. 

I did a compressor on a fit last summer (working at a shop), and yes it was relatively easy to do. But also, I'm not surprised it died again, it took us weeks battling this fit to finally get it sorted. 

As a Michigander, while I don’t necessarily support recreational, they should’ve taxed it more. The demand is there and 10% is pretty low, Colorado is at 15%. Also while a gas tax sounds good it has a massive adverse effect on lower income drivers, as they usually drive more mileage to destinations with less fuel…

Just made the switch about a week ago. I went from an old beat up T&C to a 5-speed Matrix S, I’m digging it. Got into driving stick on my brothers 2.slow Jetta Wagon and have been wanting to drive manual since. Only gripe so far it is a bit hard to drive smoothly in work boots, but I’ll get used to it over time.

Definitely agree on it being down to body style. Grew up with people that called their Explorer “the truck” and it annoyed me to no end. It is not a truck. 

As a fellow FCA and any former Chrysler product fan (current vehicle: 97 T&C LXI, still trucking strong at 250k mi), please avoid anything with a .7 at the end besides the 5.7.

I thought the same thing, glad I’m not the only one. Cars are cool yes, but... people died, no one cares about the cars. Definitely in poor taste.

That is absolutely incredible

Based off personal experience within MI, have not seen the result it says. That said, everyone gets the shaft in MI thanks to no-fault insurance.

I had the pleasure of being able to visit Taiwan over the summer (including visiting the Longshan temple from the header picture in the midst of a rainstorm) and it was truly a wonderful, beautiful place. The Wish is an A1 taxi/vehicle and I lament the US missing out on so much stuff like it. It is basic, yes, but…

Ford could never make a minivan for their life, but I kind of dig the transit connect. 

Sorry, couldn't see past my fuzzy dice to read the article

I’m 6'3", alot of height coming from leg length. Sat in one and not sure I could even drive it due to my shins being basically ingrained into the dash. Unfortunate too because I would love to drive one of these or a Miata.

Drive any modern diesel pickup and you'll be astounded by how quick, smooth, and powerful diesels can be. 

Different because it was a V8, not super oversized for a V8.

Totally agree with this scale. The 4cyl is def the oddest for me, as a 2.2L in a ‘00 Camry seems large, but 2.3L in the Mustang does not. That being said, I dig the 2.7L they just put in the Silverado, just because it is so odd. Also love the oversizedness of diesels, such as the 6.7 Cummins, 3L 4Cyl EcoDiesel in the P…
