I think the youngest, newest generation of racing driver is turning the tide. It’s cliche at this point to say “the sport is sanitized and full of PR-friendly answers and no fun.”

I’ve driven a Model-T before and 20mph is plenty fast even in that. I imagine glass was just too damn expensive and dangerous to use much in cars before the teens, could have something to do with it.

Maybe you need a wife that understands style

My wife is pretty adamantly opposed to couples costumes, but just look at how awesome this would be!!!
She’ll still say no though :(

I saw a plastic bag in a canal on the way in from Haneda airport. It was shocking.

No trash cans either, yet no litter. Majority of bikes not locked up either. Loved it, however, the legal system is definitely not that friendly if you do find yourself on the wrong side of the law as Ghosn knows. 

I would like for part two of this article to focus on how to bid/buy/ship with minimal pain.

Part three could be, oh I don’t know, how to make your wife understand that the household definitely needs a fleet of imported Japanese iron.

Was in Japan for two weeks this past summer.

If I hit the lottery jackpot, my wife would never know. She’d just wonder why a few dozen Right-Hand-Drive cars suddenly ended up in our Driveway...and front yard....and back yard.

who keeps thousands of cars so spotless?

Bank account is saying “no, no, no, no, NO, no, DEFINITELY NOT, no, no, no, HAHAHA YOU’RE FUNNY”

Scrolling through internally saying: “want, want, want, would have, want, want, want, want, want, would have, want, want, want, want”.

Right? A co-worker just got a 2016 Volt and loves the shit out of it.

His own opinion. 

Instead, it has focused more on electrification and self-driving technology. The problem is that it doesn’t do either of those things particularly well.

The Bolt and Volt have been mediocre

This is fine, being the biggest for the sake of being the biggest is silly. Focus on what’s profitable.

wow, perfect, kudos good sir for the smile.

They don’t sell, like, at all.  Same goes for the wagon variety.  It is a shame, but the market is the market.  Hell, good luck finding a manual sedan these days.  They are very few and far between.
