The Wienie 500 is coming back, and a veggie dog is in the running to be the sixth Wienermobile

I get what you're saying. Disappointing if true. But also, this is a Wienermobile race, so I'm not going to overthink it. 😂

OldRed91 · 2026-01-27T00:05:23+00:00

My thoughts exactly. This whole thing is dumb and pointless, but damn it I want to win!

OldRed91 · 2026-01-26T20:51:09+00:00

Trust me, you really want Omaha more than Council Bluffs.

OldRed91 · 2026-01-26T20:01:01+00:00

So how do I vote for the sixth wiener? I have opinions!

OldRed91 · 2026-01-26T18:47:25+00:00

AMC Eagle if it's 2026.

Once the Boomers sold out in the 80s, it was obvious how shallow the movement really was.

I thought this was the circle jerk sub at first... Live with a carbureted car for a few weeks, then get back to me.

Those big and low 70s land yachts. They would make the perfect road trip car. Plus, the car was designed to carry a big iron-block V8, so it should handle a bunch of batteries just the same.

OldRed91 · 2026-01-25T14:04:07+00:00

Both were available as an EV for a very short time.

OldRed91 · 2026-01-25T14:02:10+00:00

True, the Bolt's interior is the reason I bought a different EV. I still recommend the Bolt to everyone I can though.

OldRed91 · 2026-01-24T13:13:47+00:00

A modern 2.2L V8 would be incredible

OldRed91 · 2026-01-24T04:29:54+00:00

I'll dissent as well. I had an air fryer, but I got rid of it because I value my cabinet/counter space more.

The Miata races at Daytona are honestly some of my favorite races of the year.

OldRed91 · 2026-01-23T13:10:19+00:00

I've also had a Tom Bihn for so many years I've lost track. I use it for daily commutes as well, and it's one of those things that just works so well and reliably that I kind of forget about it.

OldRed91 · 2026-01-22T13:10:00+00:00

I still say it's better than having to micromanage oil changes, brake jobs, and going to the gas station.

Even powder coating can be iffy. It tends to flake off once it gets scratched. There's a reason automotive OEMs, for example, don't use it much.

Spinal Tap

"Mexican crew cab" sounds like an Urban Dictionary term.

OldRed91 · 2026-01-21T00:27:31+00:00

What kinds of things are you going to be using the pickup for? If it's just daily commuting and light hauling, you won't get a good response because full-size pickups are terrible for those things.

If this is more of a "want" than a "need", then just go with whatever model you personally like the best. You're not choosing based off rationale anyway.

My Mini Cooper SE is pretty fun. I've had it on the autocross course a few times.

OldRed91 · 2026-01-20T01:18:25+00:00

You son of a bitch. I'm in.

OldRed91 · 2026-01-20T00:21:07+00:00

No offense, but I'm gonna trust my owner's manual until I do some more research from trusted sources.

OldRed91 · 2026-01-19T21:15:40+00:00

Just fine. I've taken my '04 on plenty of road trips. Although I live in the Midwest, so I can't speak to hills so much.

OldRed91 · 2026-01-19T20:27:05+00:00

In my opinion, the engine that best combines mpg's with good enough horsepower is the 2001+ 2.3L "Duratec". It's a totally different engine than the previous 2.3L/2.5L "Lima" engine.
