I generally agree. The one time, however, that I did it was when my family bullied me into getting a Prius (which I got rid of after 3 years). Since the Prius SAYS SOMETHING just by virtue of the fact that you’re driving it, I wanted to take the edge off. So I went online and custom made a bumper sticker of Gerald…

Not military, but it reminds me of the Banshee howl of the Mazda 787B that scored a shocking Le Mans win back in the day.

CRVs and RAV-4s for me. Nobody who can drive worth a damn buys those things. I routinely see them piloted by people who are utterly baffled by the whole enterprise. Wafting around in their 1.5 lanes 10mph below the speed limit, peering over the wheel like they were trying to figure out their mobile phone contract. We…

In terms of design, Firefox Quantum is exceptional. I switched to it and was having a ball.

I think ultimately this is a good thing. I’m happy for blobby crossovers to take over the dull, lowest-common-denominator car role and have midsize sedans become a smaller, more enthusiast-driven market. They’re perfect for me since I want to have fun but I need to be able to haul my family around. My Accord does a…

My mom had one of these when I was learning to drive, so I wound up doing a lot of my early learning in one of these things. It’s a boat for sure but I’m just too sentimentally attached to say no. Also, that one we had is, so far as I am aware, still on the road with a friend of the family. Classic 90s unkillable…

As a happy Beyerdynamic owner I agree. They’re desktop/studio headphones. But if you absolutely must use them on the go, I like the Custom One Pro. It offers up a paltry 16 ohms resistance so your phone can drive them just fine.

My favorite weirdly specific one I’ve made: 8 songs where Michael McDonald performs un-credited backup vocals.

I really enjoyed this film, and I think it’s a stunning achievement in the now dubious practice of doing sequels 30 years later. However, the scenes in Robin Wright’s office stick out like a sore thumb. Unlike the rest of the film, which matches the original’s somewhat enigmatic nature, these scenes feel like they…

I definitely support this, and much of it is just plain good advice for drivers even without 2-wheelers around. However, I saw a motorcycle accident that should throw a bit of cold water on lane-splitting. This was at a busy urban intersection. The car making a left in front of me got a yellow light, and started to…

I have the CVT in the 9th gen. You would be shocked at how good it is. Other than the sound, which sucks, it drives really nicely.

The 9th gen Accord (at least after the mid-cycle refresh) has auto headlights that work quite well, so I’m assuming this one has them too.

Classic ring-donut wheels, Long-John shaped main body. Chocolate glazed. (obviously)

I dream of a magnetically levitated sphere covered in brownie batter, floating in the oven. No edges. All middle.

The Lexus RX350. The steering was numb, floaty, and had a solid 20 degrees of play on center. The gearshift practically wanted to slip past D into 2. Turn the thing at all and it would wallow and lean like a pirate ship in a storm, but way less cool. And inside it was basically a camry with too much leather and…

I remember sitting in elementary school in the 80s and watching documentaries about the environment. In them, you’d see slow-motion footage of Japanese pedestrians walking in sickness masks while the narrator talked about air pollution. Took me years to discover that they had nothing to do with air quality but were…

They’re the opposite of most jazz bands in that they look much better than they sound.

It actually looks like it’s in the process of saying their spokesman’s signature phrase.

Totally. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched a pedestrian step into the street, look up from their phone, realize they’re moments from death, then hop back onto the curb looking sheepish. And they’re the good ones!

100%. I really liked the Ford Fusion but you can barely see where you’re going. It’s all pillar. Big part of why I wound up in the relatively non-car-guy Accord. You can actually see out of it.
