Got a grinder and some old motors laying around?

Easy. The best cupholder mod is your passenger. How does it work, you ask? Simply extend your arm to the right then say the following phrase, “hold my beer”. It also works on non-beer beverages as well I’m told.

I can’t be the only one who stripped out the car he sometimes tracks and now drinks coffee out of a “Cars” sippy cup, right?

Makes sense to me. The Raptor is lovely, but it has a high barrier for entry. There’s clearly a market for people that can’t afford it, don’t want to spend that kind of money, or can’t/won’t drive something that wide...but who still want some of the Raptor looks and ride height. Those people will either pay the dealer… Read more

P100D Turbo is my preference  Read more

I am terribly disappointed that the fire hydrant is not spewing water 80 feet in the air and dozens of children have not come to frolic in it. Another Hollywood myth shattered. Read more

To be clear, I personally think it’s, in some ways, a bit lame. But that’s just the hardcore off-roader in me. The logical person in me (who, surprisingly, made an appearance for this article) says “It fills a hole in the lineup, it looks good, it’ll sell, people don’t go off-road anyway, etc etc.” Read more

The best part is, the stock Evo VIII taillights ended up going altezza style, and so many owners hated them (myself included) that they were often replaced with VII (red lens) or IX (black housing) taillights. Most people seeing 2F2F after the Evo VIII came out just assumed the movie car had stock taillights.

Next you’re going to tell me the Supra graphic was the hair pick the guy was usin.....oh damn.

I spent a long time staring at my computer and thinking about this. In the end I decided that these various Mercedes cars within a -Class were different enough to be classified as different cars, but it could be argued either way. Read more

I really love that car.  When it came out - no.  But now ... something about it seems timeless.  Nice! Read more

You CAN get pretty damn close with Maltec

Awesome on the outside, nasty and depressing inside. It’s perfect for me.  Read more

This is something I've always wondered about but never cared about to look into. Thanks Andrew! Read more

Similar reason why dump trucks have trailers with long-ass tongues: weight dispersion. A 2 lane bridge may have a 40 ton rating, so the truck and trailer can’t be on at the same time. Hence the 30 foot tongue.

The ease-of-use is not a complaint, hence identifying it as the car’s “best attribute.” I just think it’s interesting that Acura has clearly prioritized dummy-proofing over design in its UX, and it’s something consumers might be interested to know. It’s a solid value proposition for people who are more interested in… Read more

I had the opposite sort of experience. I listened to Car Talk with my Dad on the radio in the truck that he was actively in the process of putting over half a million miles on, while we were on our way to work... family business. Listening to the brothers making each other laugh, telling stories, and teasing each… Read more

I discovered Car Talk one Saturday morning as a 16 year old while hunkered underneath a 1953 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight (my dream and my curse in the form of the 3 on the tree transmission produced that one year because the original manufacturer burned to the ground) and became a lover of the zen of car wisdom and off… Read more
