I’d rather they made sporks for your mid-morning microwave oatmeal than shoving their crap into my gas tank.

The 2002 vs 2017 date helps sell this story.

Is it wrong to star this while at work? Asking for a friend.

For years Miami has been known as the most notoriously corrupt border office, particularly at the airport. There was a group of CBP agents (before it was rebranded as ICE) at Miami who worked as a team, taking bribes to let people pass. It was so bad that one agent, who was not in the group, knew it was so lax, that…

No way that dude has that many girlfriends to juggle.

Grrrrrr!!!! A major pet peeve of mine, as well. MASSIVELY pisses me off.

The dealers whine about their margins being hammered to nothing, so they just magically stack $300, $500 or —damn!—$999 on top. That makes up for a pretty good percentage of a $20,000 transaction. Even better for the dealer, as this is a fee and…

There can’t possibly be any profit on North America on the 500, the 500L/X (no WAY they are making money on that turd), or either the Giulia or 4C. No freaking way.

My friend bought his car off the lot. He had wanted Alcantara seats, but the available cars only had the regular leather. In the end, that was a fortuitous situation, since the stuff just doesn’t wear well. His steering wheel has been roached for some time, but the rest of the car is good.

I drove a bunch of E90/E92 M3s and loved every single second behind the wheel. I drove them on a couple of different racetracks and a few back roads that would do the Alps proud. Absolutely dynamite! I had the chance to drive a 1M on a track, back-to-back with the M3. It was pretty special, too, but didn’t feel quite…

The E90/92/93 series M3 wasn’t immediately loved when it first came out. I’ll admit, I thought the styling was a bit off compared to the E46 M3. And cramming a V8 where an inline-six should be? Blasphemy, we screamed!

I have a good friend who bought a 2004 ZHP 6MT sedan new in December of 2003. He is approaching 200,000 miles and it still drives like a champ. He may have replaced the clutch, brakes a few times and tires a bunch of times, but that’s about it. Rock-solid car. And, for all intents and purposes, the spiritual successor…

Judging by your screen name, I am guessing this is sarcasm? I just can’t tell from the tone of your message. You realize this is Jalopnik, right?

No idea if I’m “average” or not, but I really didn’t run regularly as an adult until age 44. So, those marathons were all mid-to-late 40s. Best time was 3:59:04. Worst time was 4:21:40 (mid 30s temps; raging wind and sleetish precipitation at times). I’m going to pat myself on the back that I did a 1:57:55 half,…

Body Glide. Apply liberally and in the most personal of spots. Or Desitin or any other diaper rash paste. Pre-empting the blisters with blister-proof band-aids can sometimes help, but long, wet races usually nuke my toes.

I’ve run five marathons, all in northern New England. Two have been in unseasonably brutal heat and two in conditions like today in Boston, with near-freezing temperatures and sideways rain with gusts of 40 MPH or more. It sucks, but, man, does it feel good to finish. Followed by a long, hot shower. That post-race…

The wiring harness would be a potential hangup had it not been done. By 2018, nearly every W124 still mobile should have had its harnesses replaced.

These cars (the W124s) are one of the last, great, bazillion-mile Mercedes platforms, from the era when the engineers ran the place, and not the marketeers, when the…

Came here to post the same damn thing.

I can imagine soooooooo many better uses for $300 million than a scooter startup. I am about to double over laughing so hard that some allegedly smart guys threw down so much coin for this, once again proving I am in the wrong line of work. P.T. Barnum is alive and well,…

Years ago, when the AutoWeek classifieds were thing, friends and I would marvel at low-mileage, barely broken-in Ferraris and Porsches filling those pages. Later, after talking to some high-end car salesmen, I got the skinny.

There is no shortage of people who will buy the latest, greatest sports or super car, drive it…

There are many shithole countries to chose from to make this happen.

As the article pointed out, he seems to be actively involved and is not just lending his name to products. In that interview in Fortune he does not come off as the asshole he did pretty much every time he opened his mouth from 2001 through 2016 or so.
