@Xargs: Your tale of Toyota truck ownership reminds me of my own tale of truck ownership: I had two LR Discoveries and a Freelander between 1997 and 2004, and my father had two Range Rovers during that time, and between those five trucks we never had a serious issue! Read more

Okay, I hate to be the guy to bust everybody's Honda-fellating bubble here, but here's a little bit of reality. Read more

Folks, the news that the Civic has overtaken the F-150 is NOT good news for this country. The Civic is a "so what" car; the F-150 is an object of desire for millions of Americans. Read more

Grow your hair out, you look like that effing wannabe racer Alex Roy. Like the Mustang! Read more

@DavinSF: The 24h du lemon is very much like the NBA: in the same way that they don't start playing until the playoffs, we don't start racing until Sunday (or, for the Flat Rock event, 4am). Read more

@DavinSF: Believe it or not, we didn't have a single dent on the car until the third driver on Sunday. I scraped it during my stint when I avoided the gold Benz and accidentally put the ONSET Cavalier into the wall, but in all seriousness, on noon on Sunday the car looked brand-new. Read more

@turbodan: Hey Turbodan, I met one of your guys on the airport shuttle out of Lemons, not sure who he was: Asian-American, cheerful, wearing a stainless Rolex Daytona. Nice guy and I congratulate you on the sheer guts of your rather, er, festive choice. Read more

Do I have to do all of Jalop's research for you? There is a 1963 replica: Read more
