When my best friend and I were kids we used to borrow his dad’s Diesel Dodge work trucks. It was quite the luxury to go back to the big rig pumps and use the high flow nozzles in that truck. 35 gallon fill ups took (if my mind remembers correctly) no more than a couple minutes max.

Uhh, everyone? Don’t be salty about a company doing good business with old platforms (see almost everything Toyota makes). I don’t think 2020 sales reports are final but in 2019 totals the Charger was the #1 selling us large sedan in a “dying segment” @ 96,935 cars.

First 911 introduced in 1975 you say 🧐.

I always thought tiered licenses would be really neat. My idea about that was say I have a car that is perfectly safe and capable of operating on the highway at 90 mph (what modern luxury car isn’t these days).

I think my insurance company stepped on their dick when I had my 2016 Silverado with 4G access. I drive a lot (travel and vacation lake house most summer weekends). I got a random rate increase for “Mileage driven” that year. I have never ever disclosed to them or been asked for a mileage figure. Called them and…

Thank God. Indy resident here. Those cars do nothing but take up valuable parking spaces in areas where it’s nearly impossible to find parking. They are never out of their spots=nobody uses them. I think it was more of an idea for a larger city where it’s harder to own your own vehicle or move around in it. Most of…

Right. A) I am cheap B) I can afford to pay for it but why C) Most importantly I will do much higher quality work than any shop I would use and pay. It boils down to that I am a grown up now and have other things to do beside work on my DD for my entire Saturday/Sunday. My DD was dead reliable in it’s first life but…

I love cars. I have grown to hate working on them. Very much hate working on a DD. As much as I love the paid off life I think I am at my breaking point where I don’t care about a car loan for a cheaper car. My girlfriend’s 16' Civic has required nothing but oil changes in 52,000 miles and 4 years. I yearn for that…

Agree, not because I want to work from home but 95% of my job could be done just as well or maybe even better from a private home office. We would really only need our warehouse workers to be in the office as most of our communication with them is electronic anyways. But, here I am driving every day. Thankfully, I…

Because I am super anal about my cars operating exactly as designed, I have found using stupid beam wipers on older vehicles that came with frame blades is futile. I have tried every name brand on my 98 S70 beams and they are all completely hot garbage. Know what works best? Good old Michelin 6 dollar frame blades.

Can’t speak for a 4.0 Wrangler since its been so long since I have owned one but my last XJ (2001 4x4 auto 4 door stock tires) was averaging exactly 17 mpg on my daily commute (half highway half city). I thought that was pretty darn great for a 17 year old rig with upwards of 180,000 on it at the time. Clearly a…

I trust the Holy Grail ZJ will be one of the first inductees? 

Halogens can be great. My current truck likely has the best headlights I’ve ever owned and they are 11 year old halogen design. The HIDs in my 2016 Silverado were absolutely garbage downright dangerous (for the driver and oncoming traffic). Also, in snow they didn’t produce enough heat to clear the beam and further…

Ha, thanks. I drive a lower car daily. Typically at night in my Chevy I would turn my lights off when I pulled up behind small cars at night.

I see that all the time. 

My 2016 Silverado was terrible. Very narrow sight path and really not that bright unless you were looking at the beams coming at you. It would blind me from behind if someone was following me in my XJ Cherokee. After that I adjusted the beams a little lower (stock suspension and tires). So glad I got rid of that shaky…

Same. The HID’s on my 2016 Silverado were downright awful. Brights didn’t really do anything and when shined at your eyes they were nearly deadly. My girlfriend was following me in it once (I was in my XJ Cherokee) and her driving behind me on the highway nearly blinded me via the mirrors. Went home and adjusted the…

Very cool cars. They had the looks and all but from everything I heard over the years were horribly unreliable. (it was the 1980s rite). I, being a Mopar guy, always wished this would have been the configuration for the Turbo/Shelby Daytonas rather than FWD. Talk about flickable. CP for the price though.

I gave it a nice price for being a wagon and an R. As a 1998 S70 T-5 owner I will say be prepared for a ton of maintenance on that ride. My car was family owned since 2005/90K miles and was very reliable for its first stint. My grandpa owned it and was very keen on looks of a vehicle but not so much preventative…

I have never had an XJ (have owned many) that did it or a 3/4 ton Ram that did it (have owned many). I did have a TJ Wrangler that would do it at any speed over 45 and that ended up being one very out of round tire. After college I did some time as a service writer for a Chrysler dealer and we put steering dampers on…
