I’d rather have 3500 of these:

If the body were clean, maybe. This one gives you that glorious Alfa unreliablity, wrapped in a banged-up package that’s been gift-wrapped in the wrong color. No thanks.

Anyone who is that overtly religious is hiding something.

Bingo. There’s a reason why people keep buying Lexus.

10 years ago, you didn’t even need to call the BMW dealership to schedule your next service appointment. The telematics unit in the car told us when it needed maintenance, and we contacted the owner to set up the appointment. We send someone to pick the car up, leave a loaner, and return the vehicle once it’s been

Because it would make it a lot harder for dealers to gouge buyers for the Type-R.

1st Gear: The aftersales experience is a major reason why affluent car buyers continue to favor the premium/luxury segment, in an age where cars that cost half as much can have similar technology and leather interior. Hyundai knew it when they launched the Equus, with a service agreement that made future trips to the

As soon as I saw “air suspension,” I scrolled straight down and clicked CP. The cost to undo the previous owner’s bad decisions will be astronomical.

Your imagination would be accurate.

I went to BK this past Saturday. My friend wanted a paper BK crown for class activity she was doing with her students, and since I had missed lunch but it would be dinner time in just a few hours, I grabbed a $2 double cheeseburger so I wouldn’t feel awkward about being a single man asking for some paper crowns.

I’m not really surprised that craft-brewing is dominated by white dudes, but that’s only because I’m almost certain that every white dude brews his own “craft beer,” usually some form or another of IPA. It’s just a white dude thing, like being named Mike or Eric.

Now playing

I’ve always wondered why Taco Bell never had a Taco Tuesday promotion, and now I shall wonder no more.

The 4KUHD FireTV dongle is not a good deal, at any price. I used one for a year, a year of unmitigated annoyance. The audio cuts in and out at random times, and no amount of tech support help from Amazon was able to fix it. It would work normally for weeks at a time, then the audio issue would reappear. Resetting

The 4KUHD FireTV dongle is not a good deal, at any price. I used one for a year, a year of unmitigated annoyance.

As a former BMW service professional, I can state with certainty that anyone who buys a used one and isn’t prepared for the eye-watering charges for repairs and maintenance is in for the shock of their lives. I’d expect this one to be particularly awful, with the buyer eventually reduced to praying for a

4th gear: So basically, an event where baby-boomers reminisce about the past while clogging up the roadways by driving too slowly in ancient cars from a bygone and long-forgotten “good old days” time period has become too commercialized by vendors selling “collectible” garbage that baby boomer love, has become “too

I was just about to say that the 1LT leaves room for Chevy to take a page from Porsche’s book and offer a stripped version with manual seats and a 2-speaker stereo for an extra $10k.

It’s sad that NASCAR chose to partner with such a backwards website/media partner/whatever they are (my awareness of Barstool is minimal), but is it really that surprising? NASCAR didn’t discover unleaded gasoline and fuel injection until we were a decade into the 21st century, and unless I’m mistaken (probably am,

My DSG GTI is the 1st car I’ve owned (of 10, over 25 years) with less than 3 pedals. I like it, but with absolutely no frame of reference.

Not dumb for buying a used aftermarket part, dumb for buying a used intake that positions the filter in the engine bay, on top of the transmission.

The current crop of CUVs take only a slight mileage penalty to the sedans they share platforms with. So if fuel prices spike in 2020, the 2021 models will all boast “Better MPGs!” They will achieve this by simply lowering their suspensions by an inch or so, thus reducing the frontal area of the tires that is exposed
