“Actual truck-based trucks get about 22 mpg on average across all the trucks we buy nowadays...”

They used to only gravel the roads, which ate up a lot windshields and gave us our famous version of smog—the brown cloud. They switched to salt, er, liquid magnesium chloride, a few years ago.

I know that manual. It’s 3/4 wiring diagrams.

You all know not to sell cars to friends and family, right? If your friend wants, say, a clean and well maintained A8 and you want to sell it for maximum profit your interests are not compatible. Your friend will expect you to sell for less and if something goes wrong you’re the jerk.

Just tell me when it gets to $26K! Oh, wait, never mind.

Not “Bondo. James Bondo.”?

If this is true then the oldsters should be selling their classic cars because they are REALLY uncomfortable. Are we seeing a crash in the values of GTOs and Cobras and Austin Healy 3000s?

It could probably be retrofitted on a lot of cars with a firmware update.

The time I outran the Texas highway patrol in a 25 year old candy-apple red Ford Maverick at over 100 miles per hour.

My Fiat has one of these but the real problem is I was flying down a gravel road in the mountains the other day, pointed the nose to the outside, back to the inside and gave the brake a tug to let the rear end loose.

He is not wrong. This is a piece of shit. But I still like it. I wouldn’t engine swap it. Just keep it and cruise around on nice summer evenings. Maybe get into church just so I can drive it there and back on Sundays.

I have a used 135i too, probably 3rd owner. Contacted me on Takata airbag to tell me they have no parts. It’s my daily driver, so, thanks. Did you get it taken care of?

Ah, ok then. Carry on.

Much like David After Dentist what is the filming technique here that is safe? Like a quasi-selfie focusing on the back seat while driving?

My patronus is a battle ship.

I have a Fiat 500x. Does it do this too?

Let’s just say that my XJ wouldn’t do this. I thought I had ABS for a while there it was so not able to lock up.

The BBC has to change the format of Top Gear. Hey, the more car related shows the better, but they can’t do a better job at this format than the guys who created it.

I had no idea. That’s cool that it’s the same as Audi’s cuz it rules. Didn’t they switch the 1 and 2 Series to slushboxes though?

Yes! Also, all my girlfriends drove manuals so it’s not a gender thing, but I agree with your girlfriend—driving a manual in the city is tiring.
