I live in California and own seven registered cars, so I’m pretty well versed on the tagging, but I can see the confusion. Read more

Wow, am I the only one who thinks this car is balls-out amazing? Read more

What the heck? I see the poll on multiple machines. It seems that every time Crowd Signal makes a change to their back end there is an issue with the poll. They recently made yet another completely pointless and utterly counter-intuitive change to the poll editor so I think that may be the reason so many are being… Read more

Pffft, what do you want for your measly $4,500, to live forever? Read more

I’m glad you were finally able to find a way to channel all that pent-up anger.

Yeah, I always equate ease to what can be accomplished in the driveway. I should take into account $125 - $175/hour mechanics rates too. I will say that wrenching on the Previa is still easier than changing out a belt or water pump on a Pantera.

A lot of people share this opinion. I on the other hand have a couple of VAG products—one pretty old and one pretty new. The newish one is incredibly well screwed together and *touch wood* has been unflaggingly reliable and without issue. The old one is the Audi I’ve written about before and while it does require… Read more

I’ll pencil it in, thanks.

In Los Angeles it’s the two Highland Parks. There’s actually only one Highland Park, but it’s split into the somewhat fancier Figueroa and more college town (Occidental) York Boulevard neighborhoods. Great bars, great food, and little parking are features of each. Behind those are residential neighborhoods of small… Read more

Thanks everyone for the feedback on the change of poll tool. Based on the responses, we’ll be going back to the OG poll tomorrow. Read more

Saabs are awesome because, just like Pauley Perrette, they are quirky in all the right ways.

My 2016 VW has them in the glove box door. They’re right next to the pen clip!

I believe the earlier BIIs had aluminum tire carriers which would likely have both eliminated that minor annoyance and lowered the CG incrementally!

Amazing! That’s some serious sleuthing, right there.
