You’d have a hard time putting in a direct order from a dealer since that’s exactly what you do when you get a car built personally for you. And for cars far, far more expensive than $30K. For new cars, driving an example of the model (engine, transmission, etc as close as possible to what you want) is all you should…

For a new car, you test drive the make/model prior to the start of the actual buying process. It’s pretty simple. Even still, I made it a deal to take a quick test drive of the exact car before going in to sign the papers.

When I bought last year, I mentioned in my first email that I was purchasing in the next 48 hours. For the dealerships that showed online stock of a car I wanted, I gave them the exact VIN. 3 dealerships had cars that matched what I wanted; the other 2 did not but I knew that they would locate the exact same cars in…

Congratulations to Scuderia Glickenhaus for even finishing.... but no specific coverage of the Audi team? I know it’s old hat for them and all but their engineering team is quite amazing,

“a few bruises to bodywork” is not what my insurance company would call it.

Nope. Nope. Nope. Nolan is the head of DC Universe for WB. He and Emma. Snyder reports to him.

I’m not seeing “Permit Only” or some such indicator. A lot of LA, thanks to neighborhood associations, have different permit holder rules.

I think you meant "RS7"

There was one of these (exact colour too) outside of my local coffee shop just last week in Santa Monica. Seems quite a few made it through the attrition of 40+ years. (There's also a yellow one in my neighborhood.)

Was this a giant Google reach-around? Megan being the ex-VP from Google, Eric as Exec Chairman (and then eventually Judith as a manager)? Another explanation besides sexism is that Megan and Eric's relationship for quite a few years (11 years) was with him as her boss... the boss talking over the subordinate isn't a…

There are male hookers.

When he was voting to shutdown the federal government, he tripled the pay for his staffers with bonuses and pay raises. That's GOP fiscal responsibility...

It is in some airport bathrooms.

Good luck getting a stroller in the near non-existent hatch area. This may be one of the worst layouts if you thought your CUV was supposed to be able to haul anything.

Strangely like this colour scheme.

Where was she going to reverse to? If the crossing guard hit her rear window the only way she could go is forward. She might have thought she could cross the tracks and make it to the other side.

Green LEDs? Gah.
