Wait, did someone name her kid Tennys? For real?

At least hippie-child Picabo Street (and her brother, Juan Way—not making this up) had a helluva lot more charm to go with her gimmicky name.

Not sure which part offended you so much, that I really appreciated your comment, or that Billy Joel is somehow sacred to you.

Seriously, where did I go wrong?

Also, “hipster?” Where that come from?

I regret that I have but one star to give this comment.

What a shitty pathetic song. It’s like the “We didn’t start the fire” for Gen Xers. Ugh.

2016 Focus RS. Not sure, but Sync 3, I think.

Nothing should be as buggy in 2016 (or ‘17 or ‘18) for the limited tools that it provides. It does not have Carplay, but can be upgraded to it. I am considering it.

I think you missed my point: There is a giant fucking iPad in the line of sight across the dashtop. I despise the movement to make the inside of a car feel like a fucking smartphone.

Again, I am not a Luddite, but the Miata is supposed to be a driver’s car. Couldn’t they sell enough without the need to add that damn…

Fair enough, but we should not EVER have systems in cars that need to be rebooted, particularly as more non-entertainment functions are rolled into them.

The Toyota systems did what I needed them to do without needless shit I will never use. And they did it reliably. THAT’S a big part of my attraction to the Toyota…

Not even joking. But I absolutely hate most in-car infotainment systems when they start foregoing reasonably placed buttons for a touch screen alternative that becomes the only option (First and second-gen iDrive, I’m talking to you!). I hate, with the white-hot intensity of a thousand raging supernovas, the…

I find this somewhat ironic because I’ve owned two relatively new Toyotas in recent years with both base (2014 Venza) and up-level factory infotainment (2013 Sienna Limited with nav) and I liked both, not because they were so special and did a whole lot of fancy shit, but because they were relatively simply and…

Last one was best: 2004 Volvo V70R. 300 hp. Six-speed. Brembos. Cool factory alloys. Recaro seats in Atacama leather (damn near orange). Super fun in the wet, dry and snow. Also, expensive to maintain and far more fragile than any Swedish car has any right to be.

I think Jalops need to realize that the world has a total capacity to absorb about five, possibly six brown, diesel, manual, AWD sport wagons. And that’s in aggregate in total over the life of the planet, not each year. And, let’s face it, we only want them gently used with the depreciation all baked in so they are…

Like the fools who pulled the trigger for Brexit, I am voting first and reading the details later.

“Nice Price” I say because on concept and basic execution alone, this thing is a winner in my book and, well, $18,000 isn’t a colossal amount of coin. Not that I have it laying around, but, if I did, this would certainly…

Live on a “private road” in a big suburb and it probably means a gated community where some $10/hour tin badge working in a fancy shack checks IDs and guest lists as you enter. Live on a private road in a rural state, like Vermont, and it means a gravel road up the side of a mountain that nobody plows and everybody…

Oh, yet, let’s do just that. Let’s do that.

They can’t kick people out, but in some states (I’m talking about you, Texas!), they can perform a non-judicial foreclosure and just take your property if you are behind on your HOA fees. Seriously.

And then they sell the home to their buddies for pennies on the dollar.

And then watch it go into “limp home” mode as a fail safe. Now, THAT would be funny stuff.

Starring this comment, but looking over my shoulder as well, just to be safe.

They’re gonna’ need a shitload of hot water to throw on those cars to get out of that mess.

Infinite percent more than zero, perhaps? You could quit now, on January 5 and win for the year.

Pure speculation here: Those are delivery miles and miles to his driveway. If he paid $87,000 and sells it for $150,000, he can pocket $63,000 and buy another one once the hype dies down. And it ALWAYS dies down.

There are very, very few “limited-production” models that don’t end up in surplus, and eventually sell for…

Yikes!

I had an uncle who had been a 35 year veteran of the NYPD, so when he passed away (peacefully, on his birthday, but on the john, like Elvis) many years later, they still gave him a funeral with full honors. But since the nearest military cemetery (World War II vet) was way out on the east end of Long Island, the…
