Even though EVs and manual transmissions are 99% mutually exclusive, this still feels like comparing apples to oranges. Read more

Refueling was always an issue when I worked for a construction company. They used to assign dedicated fuel cards to each vehicle, but stopped for some reason before I was hired in. Instead, you had to return to the main office and borrow the “petty cash” credit card. It was so much of a hassle and disruption to the… Read more

Hey that’s BeauM’s “Abomination”! Read more

All this effort for a name that doesn’t even really fit the vehicle they want to put it on... Oh wait I forgot. This is the same company that names their cars “Ferrari LaFerrari” and “Ferrari Enzo Ferrari”. Creativity obviously isn’t their strong suit.  Read more

Try this one; now with extra Kinja!

I love this. It’s good parenting. Read more

Or when it’s given a trim level/package as the model name, like the Chevy SS... or Ford EcoSport. “Eco” and “Sport” are already widely recognized terms for highlighting special attributes of specific versions of cars, but they don’t really work as a model name. And even if they did, the resulting vehicle here isn’t… Read more

I’ve always disliked the practice of self-titling albums. The only time the lack of a unique title seems to work is if it’s their debut album. Because that’s when nobody yet knows if the artist is going to be successful. Until a second record is released, that initial album is pretty much synonymous with the band’s… Read more

Are you sure you didn’t mean to say

Hm, I’m not sure how I feel about the new Mustang Bus 302 Read more

Yeah most of the other Irwins in my small collection won’t fit the adapter either. Only the 10" one has matching threads (7/16"-14). Read more

I’ve been having a similar experience helping my brother revive his 900 (also a ’91 model). We’re not to the point of driving it yet, but compared to the more traditional cars I’ve worked on, it really is a weird car. And I mean that in a good way. It’s a fascinating piece of engineering.

That’s an important distinction! I see it happen way too often. Some of them will actually go the wrong way at risk of causing a traffic jam, while others try extra hard to make that 120°ish turn. Angled parking is designed to make reversing out of parking spaces safer and easier, but only if you pull forward into… Read more

Never saw one of my old cars in a yard, but I did find my brother’s old car once. I knew it was his as soon as I saw the faded duct tape holding the trunk shut lol. Read more

That was pretty cool. I’m glad the ex-owner was so chill about the random call. It’s almost like a séance... except that instead of contacting a dead person, you’re recalling the “spirit” of the car, in a way, to learn more about its past life. Read more

I’m no engineer, but I play one on TV...

Ok but is this rise in crashes and injuries UNIQUE to the raised speed limit roadways? Have crashes and injuries gone up statewide on ALL roads, or are things getting worse ONLY in these 75 mph zones? Read more

How about weathered copper? I honestly can’t decide which version of the Peugeot Onyx I like more, polished or oxidized.

Knock knock, let the devil in?
