I agree. It’s not a daily driver. It’s a fun second/third car that starts at $103,800. A great weekend car for going apple-picking, a dozen laps on track day (trailered to-and-from), or maybe an evening in the big city where you can also recharge overnight. Cover your bases with an F150 and a Model S, too, and forget…

Thanks. I just spat СНЕЯИОБLУ all over my keyboard. What year is it now? High hopes for new American Top Gear!

Shit. I was gonna ask which news outlet convinced you that this is true and then I realized we’re not on Splinter. Carry on, I guess.

I’ve got nothing to add to this discussion except to say that I really like these ‘Files’. Keep it up. Please and thank you.

Noice!

Does anyone know if Audi does a 30 year layaway plan?

My first (mechanically sound) car was a blue 1984 DL Wagon. Hand-me-down from Mom. So embarrassing, right? Not really. It did have some electrical issues, had to be re-aligned annually, and the entire exhaust system rusted quicker than cotton candy dipped in hot Coca-Cola. But...it was great in the snow, carried every…

I’m not a truck guy, but I do help load/unload a GMC 2500HD from time to time. Side reach-over is too high and I’m lazy so I end up standing on the tire to do it. Safety first! Would it be possible to have one or both sides of the bed fold out like the tailgate? Maybe even be a massive camping platform? Then fold back…

As a kid I loved Megaforce. If Tesla can make me a couple of electric motorcycles that fit in the bed and can shoot missiles while popping wheelies then I’m in.

What’s even more gross than breathing-in thick diesel exhaust fumes? The smell of other people’s cooking!

I’m glad to see Ford has selected Mach-E and not re-used the Mach 1 name. It shows they care about the heritage of the original and understand the confusion it might have caused. I hope in 2027 when the flying Mustang debuts they will also demonstrate this same historical sensitivity and just call it the E-51.

In High School (NJ) I had a car with very shiny hub caps that I parked in the driveway. Wild turkeys would stand by each wheel to bask their own reflections or more likely to stare down potential ‘handsome’ rivals.

Thanks for the good laugh! I had to catch my breath. I would have fallen out of my chair if she had frantically locked her car doors.

And I‘m not looking forward to the strain of suspending my disbelief for 2hrs watching Wahlberg fake growl around a half-chewed cigar in a spray-tan with powdered hair and painted-on wrinkles.

I’m with you. I feel like I’ve already seen all possible Uncharted movies in game or in my imagination. Nathan Drake/Lara Croft in the desert, the tundra, in the tropics, the Himalayas, fabled ancient forbidden/hidden cities, etc... Now if they dropped him in Vegas/Area 51 to find some subterranean indigenous talisman…

His wife thanks you for leaving him off the fuck list.

Drag racing is a riot and not even a blip on the radar for pollution or global warming, but I wonder if the NHRA et al. could also shine a little more light on green energy. NHRA has a Y.E.S. (Youth&Educational Services) STEM program that addresses honing current technology. Maybe if they incorporated some…

I get it. Lodge 49 isn’t a show about high school sophomores who exist without parental supervision, who have no financial concerns, and who successfully deal with complex adult emotional and existential problems because ‘friendship’.
