GTI

When I was 16 I took my parents 1998 Ford Explorer with a V8 down to this road in St. Charles, Missouri called Green’s Bottom where high schoolers would jump their cars. It was flat along the Missouri river beneath the bluffs and you could get a fair amount of speed and hit this one random hill next to the Katy Trail…

Can we get more stories like this? I feel like we never hear any positive news anymore. I was smiling the whole way thru reading this story.

its spelled KEWL not KOOL!!!!

I’ve been working on a way to sell this plan to my wife, just need to get the wording down correctly. I spend too much time on bringatrailer.com deliberating my next move...

That is what I meant.. I am quite aware that my car has power brakes, an ABS system, and traction control. I just meant it doesn’t have the automatic braking and all the safety tech built into it like every new car on the road... I guess I forgot you have to be extremely specific on the internet or people will nit…

More reasons as to why I don’t want to upgrade from my 2007 VW GTI (besides the fact that it is paid off)... I’m fine with the technology I have from 2007, which is basically an aux cord plugin and automatic windows. Still enjoying the manual transmission, manual lights, and manual brakes.

I had a 1994 Mustang GT in High School with 184,000 miles that loved to leak all fluids. One day, one of the exhaust pipes on my car rusted from the muffler and was just dangling from behind but made a much more impressive noise. Instead of fixing it, I cut the other pipe at the muffler to match. This made the car…

If you live in rural areas, I hear the best way to protect the paint is to pee on your car to keep the deer away.

My Dad sold two cars when he found out I was going to be born from the insistence of my Mom. He sold a 67 and 69 Camaro that were both project cars. One had a motor, the other did not and according to him they were both free of rust. Since he had his first kid coming along the way, he sold them for a 1986 Ford…

We just need Chrysler to make a car for anyone at this point. Making a mini van for the youth explains their current issues. But I will give Chrysler props, like with the 300, for producing the same car for the last decade or however long. They have showed that they can consistently make the same car with little…

Can anyone confirm or deny that cars are now starting up and moving on their own in parking lots to avoid collisions or falling trees while the driver is not in them? I hear this will be standard on all 2020 VW Beetles.

A few years ago I bought the wife a 2007 Infiniti M35x with 50,000 miles and a warranty to 102,000 miles for around 12 grand ( 1 owner and service records for days). The car has been nothing but a tank with no issues at all to date (knock on wood). Makes a great sound and has more than enough power. Is also very…

I hate the Envoy and Trailblazer with a passion. I have rode in an Envoy loaded out and it was fine, but I hate the looks of the car with an irrational passion.

We use bidet’s in these parts... A shortage of water is something this part of the country does not have an issue with.

Mustangs... Though they are not always intentional. Burnouts still count if they lose control and run over people/curbs in the process. A tire squeal is a tire squeal regardless of direction or intention.

When Dennis Rodman speaks, it always sounds like he has a spoonful of soup in his mouth that he is trying to talk thru.

This guy is awesome and I would pay to listen to him talk. I can’t ever imagine rock climbing without ropes on some of the mountains he has climbed. After visiting Yosemite this year and seeing people rock climbing El Capatin, I went home and found this documentary on Netflix with him on it called “Valley Uprising.”…

I love the Meh Car Monday feature and always wonder who will get picked this week. When I drive or walk around, I have started to acknowledge cars that would fit this bill perfectly. I remember the first time I stumbled across a Captiva and thought what the hell is this, it is the boring cousin of the Equinox, which I…

I grew tired of my 2003 Mustang GT in 2011 when gas prices were climbing and the car seemed thirstier than ever. Also a rain storm hit in that summer and on the highway while merging onto a second highway at 45 mph the back end came out under me and I flew off into the grass in the cloverleaf. It caused no damage but…
