Seems like a totally useless innovation. It’s like Apple coming up with an even BETTER charging port, and it’s like, great, yeah, but fucking nothing plugs into it, and then in two years when you change it again, they’ll stop making the few things that DO plug into it, and I’ll need to get a new phone.

Thank you very much! I am not sure if it made it into this final edit, but if it’s not, there was actually a line in the draft at one point about getting a Camry. Read more

Yeah, I was following the Haynes step-by-step instructions on how to remove the front clip, and it was so maddening to just strip off every little piece. Would love to see a video of someone removing it intact! Read more

This is just amazing. Absolutely incredible. Thank you for sharing your wonderful collection with me!!! Read more

So true! I also give myself a ton of credit on the rubber stopper. I mean, IT WORKED! But yeah, I think this is true for any sort of project.

Oh man, this is just heaven. I so badly want a 505 sedan or wagon (with a manual). Both of yours are gorgeous. Do you still have any of these? Also, amazing that you had a Saab Sonett! That’s another car I’ve had an unhealthy obsession with for a very long time. Seems we’ve got similar tastes! Read more

Oof, I’ve heard stories about those Celebrities! Did you have to go engine out to work on anything in there? Read more

I have all the stories for it. I am looking for sponsorship $$$$. I would love to do another season.  Read more

That is absolutely STUNNING. Oh my goodness. Thank you for sharing that! Read more

That’s a good theory, but no. It sits firmly on a sort of shelf. (And if you don’t trust me---which clearly you should NOT---the Haynes also indicates that it simply lifts up.) One thing that was too in-the-weeds to mention for an already-long piece such as this is that my rad is literally twice as thick as all the Read more
