People say cars depreciate. They don't get it. The real value isn't in resale, it's in the moments, the builds, the late-night drives where you found yourself behind the wheel. You can't put a price tag on that.

I'VE MADE SOME BAD CHOICES IN LIFE, BUT AT LEAST I'VE NEVER OWNED AN ELECTRIC CAR

Every car guy has that moment where the flashlight falls, the socket disappears, and the universe whispers, ‘Go ahead, throw the wrench. No one’s watching

IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE A CAR BRAND THAT STARTS WITH THE FIRST LETTER OF YOUR FIRST NAME...WHAT
ARE YOU DRIVING?
Be honest.

One day you’ll finish the project car. Not today. Probably not this year. But one day. Maybe.

Call it midlife crisis if you want. I call it finally being able to afford the car teenage me couldn't stop dreaming about.

I sold my old Mustang to a teenager last month for $3,000. It was all he had saved from working at a pizza shop. A week later, he called me, sounding like he was about to cry. The starter had died. "I know it was 'as-is,'" he said, "but do you know a cheap mechanic?"
I didn't give him a phone number. I told him to bring it back. I’d already bought a new starter at the auto parts store. We spent Saturday morning in my driveway, and I showed him how to install it. When we were done, I gave him $300 of his money back. "What's this for?" he asked. I told him, "It’s a 'good luck' rebate. Use it for gas and insurance." I don't need $300. I need to know that a kid’s first experience with adulthood isn't getting kicked while he’s down.

hate when people ask me mechanic questions...just tear that sh*t apart you'll figure it out

Nobody drives more aggressive than someone who couldn't afford the V8 version of their car

Al might write emails, EVs might rule the streets soon, but there will always be something sacred about the smell of race fuel and burnt rubber.
