I don’t think any automaker will ever be able to displace the Wrangler, no matter what they try to offer, nothing else really offers the definition of “cool american ruggedness”. The Blazer is yet another SUV in a sea of me-too crossovers, nothing special about it.

This is good Kinja.

The UAW kind of sucks, but it is still a union, and therefore inherently good. 

It’s fall of 2022, and you’re taking a drive through Asheville. The mountain back roads are perfect to carve in the FR-S you just managed to pick up for a sweet deal.

“Mark Stewart, whom Manley hired from Amazon, now runs North America...”

Another article on the internet about Millenias. I get it, they can’t find jobs, buy homes or get out of debt.

Insurance companies here in the U.S., however, say they don’t have “sufficient data” to “validate auto industry promises of safety benefits from automated driving systems.”

This, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly why small cars are dead. 

I had to hold the fuel nozzle foreskin up with two fingers to get any dino-juice to come out.

Starting price at less than $60k.... Consider the game changed.

In the C7, back where they belong. 

It’s not the tire that makes it look cheap. It’s the shitty looking wheel.

A V10 TDI Touareg and a W12 Phaeton are the two VWs that I want to own. I know both have the reputation of being maintenance and reliability nightmares but these two were so overengineered that my nerdy engineer brain irrationally wants them.

Never had this problem with my Beetle. 

Looks like a Camaro backed into a Pepboys.

I believe I speak for us all when I say... 

Wanted to add that service manuals are funny sometimes. Same truck (2010 sierra) the official way to R&R the lower ball joint is to take the control arm off and press it out. Not sure why you have to do that... you can pound the old one out and press the new one in... I’m assuming it’s if you have to really beat it,…

From my 2010 Sierra’s service manual...

At that price, I’m taking a trip over to my local credit union to get pre-approved right away! NP!!!

I’m thinking the studs weren’t completely seated in the hub. Also, the torque spec for the wheel nuts isn’t sufficient to fully seat the studs. You need to remove the wheels, fully seat the studs, then reinstall and torque the lug nuts. That’s how I’m interpreting it.
