If the 4-foot piece of nylon got sucked into the engine, the results could have been catastrophic. Read more

That bus is a bad deal. Let’s see, the seller wants you to pay $30,000 for a bus that he hasn’t even tried to start in years. Oh and he’s too lazy to get you more than the worst possible pictures, the bus doesn’t have operational lights, and it looks like the parking brake doesn’t work, either. It looks like someone… Read more

The PC800 remains deeply underrated. I guess that’s a good thing because they also remain cheap. Great find! Read more

“I think that’s bad development policy, people in rural areas should be working locally or telecommuting rather than driving 3 hours.” Read more

Crazy answer: A triple diesel engine pickup truck with a 6 inch lift installed at the factory. I mean, the EPA’s going to get a gut punch, too, so might as well make a FerdRamChev F-Teenthousand Denali with a 6.7 Power Stroke up front, a 6.6 Duramax in the middle, and a 6.7 Cummins bringing up the rear.

Paging Jonee to the white courtesy phone. Your lovely LNA has been spotted! Read more

I mean, a cutesy name didn’t stop Honda from dominating the world with something called the Super Cub. Read more

Plymouth wasn’t irrelevant for most of its existence. The whole idea of the brand was to cater to car buyers who couldn’t afford a Chrysler, Dodge, or a DeSoto. Plymouth was crucial to Chrysler’s survival through the the Great Depression.

Things went well, all things considered. The aircraft was passing through 4,000 feet, so no pressurization wasn’t a big deal and a busted windshield is better than ingesting birds into the engines. The pan-pan call here basically means something’s broken and it’s an urgent thing, but the aircraft isn’t in immediate… Read more

I started by commenting here back in 2012. Then I started a little Kinja car blog/life diary when the powers that be allowed Kinja users a lot more freedom. Fast-forward to 2020 and I became well-known enough that David Tracy chose me to be one of the new writers here! Read more

It’s getting really weird! :) I love the bike, but my two month loan has entered its 16th month. That seems like it should be wrong, but Zero seems totally fine with leaving it in my care for some time. Read more

You won’t see complaints from me. :) I have 8 bikes, each fulfilling something within me. It really is amazing how good a Gold Wing is at eating miles. Read more

You pretty much have to ride with a buddy because picking these big beasts up, even on a flat dry gravel road (which is what many think is “adventure”), requires youthful strength or great core/leg strength....which most men over a certain age don’t have.

It sure is. But then the Gold Wing stops being fun once you leave pavement for something harder than a dirt road. But yeah, if you only ever ride on blacktop it’s hard to beat! Read more

Yay! Yes, go forth and experience new kinds of bikes! ♥ If you’re feeling weird, you can go absolutely freaking crazy like I do. One of my favorite bikes in my stable is the 2023 Zero DSR/X that Zero won’t pick up my 1976 Suzuki RE-5.

LOL oh Jalop please bring back COTD because this is gold. Read more

I still wish Stellantis adopted a policy of dropping a Hellcat in everything. A 200 Hellcat, Pacifica Hellcat, Dart Hellcat, and ProMaster Hellcat would have been absolutely hilarious. Read more

That's the dumbest, greatest pitch I've ever heard. I'd buy it! :D Read more

That part, too! Plus I think these off-roaders look way cooler in two-door guise. Read more
