Usually, when you're pulling down a menu to find the make and model of your car for some website, you get a list of a couple dozen carmakers where the most exotic nameplate on the list is maybe Porsche or something. Drive a Sterling? A Land Rover? A La Forza? An Innocenti? Tough. Now you drive an 'other.'

This test was for the scenario where the wheel does not break apart. He sys it's the biggest piece that can come apart without the wheel breaking apart.

To be honest, I would have had this written sooner, but I was busy playing with the Porsche sales configurator. The only must-have options I added to the GT4 were the pricy full sport bucket seats from the GT3, and Sport Chrono package – which comes with a very cool telematics system and app that provide easy-to-use…

All of this will make passing impossible. See F1 in the 00's.

Had some work done. Tuned to stage 2. Does not look too bad for a modded car!

To be honest, I couldn't get much out him in this round. I was mostly interested in the next i car, but his PR skills shown through and he deftly dodged my questions.

And now, if you're interested in a video about the "making of" the PT Cruiser crush – complete with a cameo by Little Chris – please check it out here:

3. 2015 WRX, owned by same pal (who also makes Kartboy parts for Subaru, talented engineer) tuned for E85. Is already kind of a POS but cheap enough not to care. Wife semi-disappointed. Boys into it.

This is what happens when we let people refer to cars by the brand's name only:

"We'd do an SUV that is very light, very fast on the track and has outstanding handling," he said. "I'm a bit torn between an SUV and a four-door sports car — but in the end I can see that the SUV has the bigger market."

We've confirmed with Tesla that it's real and part of a software update (v5.9) that was pushed to the Model S nearly a year ago, and it took until now for someone to find it. Unfortunately, Tesla won't tell us how to do it or how it impacts range.

I have a better chance at going to Mars on foot while holding hands with Ganesh than them not sucking at it at some point.

The Force.

First things first: I haven't actually registered my Skyline. In fact, my Skyline is still on a boat, somewhere in the Atlantic, where it doesn't need a license plate, because there aren't any police. Only fish. Instead, I gathered this information from several sources – including my friends at Japanese Classics, who…

And if you followed me on Twitter, you'd know that this is the very last column: the last piece of the puzzle before the GT-R finally arrives and I begin driving it around the city, where Civic drivers with cut springs will ask me if it's real. And so, without further ado, here's how you register an imported car with…

Why did you do that sir?

Suggestion: make this a series based on these same cars, but through different cool stuff every time. Could be hooning on a dry lake bed. Autocross. Grocery getting. Gymkhana. Baby-ing. And so on.

So, we've got scientists making very informed comments. And everyone else.

Sure. But that last point speaks to how Akerson still has no clue about the fundamentals of the car business. In the case of infotainment, automakers like to control /all the things/. They're not fond of giving up anything to anybody in the pursuit of marketing, branding, and the perception that they're offering…

But Akerson's comments are just the latest in a long, fine tradition of people giving unsolicited advice to Apple. And often being wrong.
