The trick is to not buy the first year of any car. Wait ‘till the car’s been out a few years and the kinks ironed out. 

“I travelled to Texas to stop the migrant invasion and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.”

I think that Toyota is exactly where America is right now with the Prius Prime, the Rav 4 Prime and whatever other plug-in hybrids they offer. The car is electric until you need it for a long trip and then its a gas powered car.

I was lucky enough to see the Warhol M-1 when I paid a visit to the fairly new BMW plant in Spartanburg, SC many years ago. I believe they had the Lichtenstein car on display as well. I’d never heard of BMW’s art cars, and had no idea I was witnessing something so iconic. It’s odd, to say the least, that I, a lover of…

I honestly think that for a great deal of America, the “extended range electric” is the most realistic approach to electrification. It really bums me out at Chevrolet discontinued the Volt, because this was a real trailblazer when it came to the whole “plug-in-hybrid/extended-range-electric.” I see GM killing it off…

WASHINGTON—A motley crew of AM radio advocates, including conservative talk show hosts like Hugh Hewitt and federal emergency officials, are lobbying Congress to stop carmakers from dropping the old medium from new vehicles.

They also tried to charge a $2000 “reconditioning” charge on a car with *28* miles on it.

Years ago when buying a car for my wife we found a Lexis RX330 that seemed a pretty good deal. Then, as the salesman is writing us up suddenly a $1000+ fee shows up on the ticket. “What’s this?” I ask. And he replies “That’s what it cost us to make the car pass the Maryland inspection. Every dealer does this.” Which I…

Dude, I’ve been dialing in to Teams meetings in my car for years now. This isn’t snything new. Also, Teams has been an Android Auto app for a while. I’m guessing Microsoft is just better intgrating the app.

Wouldn’t suprise me it there were still a 150 year old statue on the books making it a hanging offense.

Wonder if there is still a law on the books in Michigan where it’s a hanging offense to steal a horse.

You’d think insurance companies would take note and jack up rates for cars that are more likely to kill pedestrians. OTOH, there may be a perverse incentive where killing a guy with your car costs the insurance company less than maiming a guy with your car.

Neither cool, nor unusual except in terms of the transmission.

Unfortunately, we have to cue the sad violin, since VW axed the manual transmission. All GTIs will be equipped with a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission feeding that increased power to the front, Alfa Romeo-esque wheels.

Maybe Toyota can license the car and sell it in the U.S. as a Toyota model, since Suzuki seems unwilling.

You win the comments section today, my friend.

Easy to steal? The tieves literally had to hack the fenders to pieces to get at the part. The headlights may be stupidly expensive (welcome to the world of luxury cars) but these things were not easy to steal.

8 millionth 911 or E46 M3 for sale.

Two things are cool about the is low mileage CRV. 1) The manual transmission, 2) it’s old enough that you can add an aftermarket headunit (as shown in the listing). The latter would allow you to really modernize this vehicle. No you won’t have adaptive cruise or lane assist, or keyless entry or push button start. But…

But that’s the patriarchy for you!
