Chrysler did a recall a while ago on the Journey which blew my mind. Apparently the sticker for the 7 passenger model was used on the 5 passenger model, so someone might have assumed the wrong seating capacity EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NO SEATS IN BACK FOR THE TWO ADDITIONAL PASSENGERS TO MISTAKENLY GET IN.

Volvos of yore. It's a great thing when you see "245" and know it's a 4 cylinder wagon, or "262" and know it's a coupe with a six.

The VW flat 4 was not only used by Porsche (or at least the basis of the 356's engine) and small makers like Tempo (their Matador was hilarious!) but in at least 75 makes of aircraft as well as industrial applications.

the lacking of dipstick is BMW's contribution, natch.

Ironicaly, coupe would be accurate.... but that's reserved for sedans now.

Exactly how is this a "hardtop"? Yes, it has frameless door glass but that's a pretty obvious B pillar.

Ah, but then Audi can kibbitz about "Quattro", and we don't want that...

Isn't the AWD Ghibli currently tagged as "Ghibli Q4"?

Swivel seats would be really nice. As shown here, in this fabulous 1961 DeSoto Fireflite

My favorite term of endearment for "flight attendant" is "flying mattress".

I would totally use Uber if I knew the driver would arrive in a VW K70.

Well, great. Now I can't get this image out of my head.

I wanna see the first product on Alfa/Chrysler's Giorgio platform, and I wanna know whether or not the Miata-based "Fiat 124" will really come with a Coupe. Cause if it does, and it looks anything at all like the original, then I'm SO in.

I began getting those letters within 3 months of driving my Ram off the lot. Still get them every 6 to 8 weeks. At first thought it might be real, as I have perhaps the only regular cab-long bed-upscale trim truck I've ever seen.

NASCAR related gifts and/or gift sets (most often pulled from the Walmart 'holiday' aisle debris 30 minutes prior to the gift exchange. Because gearhead, must be NASCAR fan, yes?

Well, I'm all for making driving tests more stringent or happening more often so that's less likely to happen.

Because my personal experience simply doesn't jibe with that study's findings. In the Bay Area's unbelievable traffic, watching those who are skilled or intelligent enough to successfully lane split suggests that either the driving test is far too easy or the practice is a bad one.

Um, sure thing, professor. You explain to me how a motorcycle going 50 weaving between cars going 15 yet suddenly changing lanes without signalling is safer than not.

Yes, let's change that. Let's change it so it's illegal in California as well. As someone who lives in the Bay Area, I can personally attest to nearly killing at least 5 different people on motorcycles who were too stupid to breathe, much less be trusted to gauge their distance from vehicles and wisely choose where…

Doesn't that essentially negate using the NYC subway?
