Naming your cars Models SEX is I guess too close to naming your cars Models T&A?

Good eye. All I got out of this is that the author plays first person shooters on console and is therefore history's greatest monster.

Why not just use the engine/battery to power an air pump?

I thought Scotland was the really green and rainy place in the UK with all the heroin addicts?

It is unnecessary to kill an Allroad with fire, because you can kill it with mild exposure to time and air. If you really want it to die quickly, just drive it somewhere it would be inconvenient for the suspension to go totally tits up.

Cars do not need more technology (adding to cost and complexity) to solve the problem you have identified. Cars need better drivers behind the wheel to avoid creating the problem you have identified, by either not tailgating or not creating the need for other drivers to (politely) approach within spitting distance of…

Cobra and Hummer make the list and Mustang does not? Jalopnik I am disappoint.

"How does the Ford Probe look? I'm not sure, but my BMW sure is sweet!"

GM is set to deploy a new system that won't let a driver shift out of park unless the front passengers are buckled in. The car will still turn on like normal, however.

German, Scandinavian and Italian, respectively.

Agreed on planes, though on planes the only people who usually bother me are obese, and they don't have much choice in the matter. Also (usually old) women wearing excessive perfume, while we're indulging in Stereotypes of Bad Travelers.

Disclaimer: I sit with my knees close together when a train is crowded, and pull them together if they are not together and someone looks like they need a seat (e.g. someone has just gotten on the train).

Six-pack abs are the male equivalent of push-up bras or contouring make-up. It takes serious effort to make the abdominal muscles both visible and obvious, and the least part of this effort is actually working out and developing the abdominals—in fact, strengthening your abs can actually make you look like you've got…

Why would we do that? So that the modern BMW owners don't bring down the world-beating Talking About Their Cars performance of the vintage BMW owners?

Because you can buy like ten Miatas for $32,000!

Most of Ford's reliability problems are related to its (outgoing) infotainment system, though. Anecdotally, Fords of recent vintage (like, last fifteen years or so) seem quite mechanically reliable, and are definitely cheaper to fix than any of the Ze Jarmans.

Be honest now, what you're really excited about is that something pushed your second thought down to second, isn't it?

The United States Supreme Court has held "improper use" statutes such as this one to be unconstitutional and void for vaugeness for over 40 years. See, e.g., Spence v. Washington, 418 U.S. 405 (1973).

If you believe all that "physics" malarkey, the ram air effect is going to be zeroish until you're going pretty fast. Like, >100mph fast. And even then, it's going to be low single digit percent airflow increases, at the very best.

Best QotD in a long time. Grosser definitely earned its number one spot here. Next do easiest cars to work on!
