He Thinks He’s Cool

Ran into the dumbest thing on the way to a meeting last night. Jackass in a blacked out, cheap chevy shitbox (you know the kind with the three cylinder motors?). Fat tires, blackened windows, loud muffler. I noticed because he was next to me, tailgating the person in front of him. This is in rush … Continue reading He Thinks He’s Cool →

What Have We Lost?

Want Eric Peters had a piece opining about Buick. Apparently they'll only do electric crossovers in the future. What happened? What have we lost? Buicks used to have character. Take a gander at these: From EP Autos Hell, they even had one of the coolest, fastest cars around - the Grand National, with a Turbo … Continue reading What Have We Lost? →

Customer Service Part 2, the Upsell

I get crappy service consistently. Mostly it's low paid droids that act as if they are going out of their way to do their jobs and help me. But the other type that drives me nuts is the over-the-top service, especially when they want to run up the tab. Car service is a great example … Continue reading Customer Service Part 2, the Upsell →

Hating on Interstate Batteries

I hate Interstate batteries. They are the only ones that have consistently failed me over these many years. The last one I had was in a 94 Camry twenty years ago. I pulled into the garage at work, turned the car off. Then for whatever reason turned it back on - I think I forgot … Continue reading Hating on Interstate Batteries →

De-Stinking the Car

I've been hooked on Vice Grip Garage for some time. When he's cleaning these old cars, Derek and his helpers use Sprayway Products, which he endorses on the site. So, I did the right thing and bought one of everything. Three of the cans I got Good thing too, since my car was filthy, and … Continue reading De-Stinking the Car →

God, Help Us…

We live in an idiotic and delusional world. We have a transportation secretary that neither likes nor understands transportation. FWIW, coming from a guy that doesn't have a car and driver on the taxpayer dime, a car is an EXPENSE! There are plenty of folks I know that do quite well for themselves living in … Continue reading God, Help Us… →

Nice Move…

People these days can't drive. When I first moved down to DFW, one of the things I first noticed is that people knew how to drive. Or at least new better than the denizens of the DC area from which I came. I learned very quickly that if I dawdled in the left hand lane, … Continue reading Nice Move… →

Roosh Buys a Truck

If you haven't been following the travels of Roosh this last year, you should hit his YouTube channel and watch them. I've enjoyed the series tremendously. So, done with his travel, he appears to be gearing up to migrate into the wilderness by buying a truck, and put out a video of what he looked … Continue reading Roosh Buys a Truck →

“Fastest Car”, Netflix

I love car shows. I'll binge watch Top Gear. I'll hit Grand Tour the day the episode posts. I'll watch nearly every episode of a car or bike builder show. So I was plodding around Netflix and stumbled onto "Fastest Car". The premise is simple, throw a random three cars up against a super car … Continue reading “Fastest Car”, Netflix →
