2026 Acura MDX Type S
Acura’s MDX is an unusual offering because it’s become unusual to find a mid-sized crossover that comes standard with a V6 engine. Most – such as the VW Atlas, the Hyundai Palisade and the Toyota Grand Highlander – have lost their sixes in favor of turbocharged or…

What to Look for in a Good 2-Wheeler Engine Oil: A Beginner’s Guide
Your bike is due for its next service, and the mechanic asks which engine oil you want. The shelf holds many bottles, and each label carries numbers and codes that most new riders have never seen. Engine oil lubricates the moving parts, controls heat and keeps the engine clean…

Fifteens Are Enough
One of the things that made owning a classic-era (1960s-1970s) era muscle car fun was that it was easy to – as we used to say – get rubber. Meaning spin the tires. Juvenile? Maybe. But it was – and still is – fun. It is a kind of fun that has been largely taken […] The post…

24 Hours
Tomorrow is selection day. We’ll know soon just how much Trump’s water-carrying for Israel is going to cost us – and not just at the pump (and the grocery store). Not that the selection matters in terms of the blues vs. the reds. That is a contest of a piece with Coke vs. Pepsi.…

“No One Would Buy Tiny Cars”
One of the counter-arguments often deployed to argue against people like me who would like to see the American car market opened up to what Trump calls “Tiny Cars” is that even if people were allowed to buy them, almost no one would – because they’re just too small and Americans…

Spy vs. Spy
There’s been much discussion about how to stymie Flock (and all the other) cameras that have been erected as the eyes of the Panopticon the Tech Bros are busily erecting to enforce compliance with everything by coercing the population into self-policing. If you know you’re being…

It Ain’t Got No Gas in It!
There’s a great scene in Slingblade – you may remember it. The title character, a mildly retarded man played brilliantly by Billy Bob Thornton, is known locally as a kind of genius when it comes to small engine repairs, lawn mowers and such. A guy brings him his mower to look…

You’ll Have Anything You Can Think Of!
Trillionaire grifter Elon Musk – the man behind the DOGE show that did nothing to put money back in Americans’ pockets (more precisely, he/DOGE did nothing to reduce the pilferage of Americans by the government and the corporate lampreys that ride it) – said the other day not to…

The Prowler
There used to be a Plymouth, which was adjacent to Dodge (and Chrysler) in the Mopar family. The reason there’s no longer a Plymouth is because it stopped selling anything distinctively Plymouth. Instead, it sold the same stuff you could buy as a Dodge, such as the Neon (which…

$787
That is how much the average new car loan costs, apparently. It adds up. Over six years, paying that much each month would pay off a new car that sold for about $56k, which is about what the average new car (to be precise, new crossover, SUV or truck because that’s pretty much…

Why Does it Take So Long to Find Out Who Won?
Well, the selection in Israel is over but it is still unknown – so they tell us – which genocidal maniac was selected. This business of selection results taking days – weeks, sometimes – to be ascertained is an interesting modern phenomena. The first time it happened that I can…

LS Swaps are Depressing
Is there anything sadder than looking under the hood of a classic muscle car and seeing what’s no longer there? I refer here to the very common practice of replacing what was there with a crate LS engine from GM. Not that there is anything wrong with a crate LS engine. Far from…

“Live Fines”
The old cat and mouse game just tilted dramatically in favor of the cat. All along the I-95 corridor – which runs from Maine to Florida, along the length of most of the East Coast – states are implementing a so-called “live fine” system that uses speed cameras and automated…
