You mean look at people who drive home for the holidays? Look at people who drive a few states away to go on vacation? Look at people who drive for work because they don’t want to fly middling distance trips. Those edge cases? Believe it or not, everybody does not live in the city and some people do still travel long…

Tesla’s official line is “Up to 170 miles in as little as 30 minutes” which sounds very marketing speak. So, at highway speeds, and using accessories, I’d take that to mean you’d need a stop for charge every 2-3 hours, for at least a half hour duration. Couple that with limited, and admittedly growing,…

Neutral: None of these movements toward banning the sale of electric cars are going to succeed while people still make long trips in cars. I mean, the tech may evolve to the point where it doesn’t take HOURS to charge up to full in an electric vehicle, but until the day arrives when you can top off an electric car…

Maybe this is the way to bring about the electric revolution?

“The manual is printed and hand assembled in the united States...”

Not being on the cutting edge of TV and Internet personalities, I find myself wondering how many other people refer to their followers as “Insert Name”ers. I mean, I’ve heard of “Insert Name” Nation as a method for generating the name of a fan group, or a modification of the name, like the Beliebers, or however that…

Someone took Clarkson’s eel and sodium delivery bit too seriously.

Nothing like adding a fresh accent to a home.

Because, sadly, this is the mentality of a number of the ‘cars as appliances’ consumers that are on the road now and know nothing about vehicles besides how to make the monthly payment. This is the ideal modern customer, someone who would rather spend the money on a new car and has a body temperature somewhere in the…

Is this a heartfelt return to the days where America hadn’t heard of corners?

Is this the Range Rover that was the runner up in Top Gear’s Restoration Rip Off back in the earlier seasons of ‘new’ Top Gear? If so, we already know a fair bit about it, from their research. Season 5, Episode 4, Nov 14, 2004, for reference.

Why no step 11? Is the only 11 associated with this car the long streaks of your expensive tires you’ll leave behind?

It smells of shame. The shame of trying to appeal to the current epidemic of beardgasms oozing messily through males of a certain age in this country. I’ve seen the oblivious gaze of the afflicted peering out of countless crossovers and hybrids, even progressing at times to the hybrid crossover stage.

My only question is whether or not this is going to cause an issue with the old games that used Avatars in-game. And yes, I am being serious. I go back and play World of Keflings every so often when life gets stressful.

A beard does not make you more interesting, as I’ve been thinking very loudly at all the baseball players and other youngish folks that have started sporting them lately.

I find this very odd. I mean, yes, I feel they are entitled to ask what happened at an event their name was attached to, but at the same time, the call out for ‘tarnish’ seems like a cheap, unwarranted shot. I mean... ‘Crash occurs at event, driver injured’ comes out at almost every Goodwood or Pike’s Peak, much…

Forza and Gran Turismo are both in-house dev teams. So they can get an early go at the new generation, make stuff that looks photo-real and work with their respective parent companies to make sure they keep up with the console specs as they emerge and iterate. You want to hilight your big sellers, and until the last…

My F1-watching group followed tradition and were waiting at the door of our preferred sports bar to ask for a beer and the rebroadcast starting at 11 on NBC Sports. I guess I didn’t help pad the stats that matter.

I worked as a temp one summer during college, and one of my assignments was to do clean up around a new development that was going in. I got into one of their model homes, which was nearly finished, so I took off my boots and starting gathering up leftover plastic from fixtures and such. I opened a door to what turned…

“Oh, your M3 makes 425 horses? M4 GTS makes 493? Isn’t that cute?”
