Having trouble caring about Discovery. I am beyond pleased with my LR4 (note: V8). Was given a Discovery Sport as a loaner during 60K mile service. It’s dark and gloomy interior made me want to kill myself.

In my mind, I’m watching a UPS Christmas commercial where rosy cheeked children (maybe adorable orphans?) wipe frost from multipaned windows to spy - Santa? NO, it’s the UPS truck! YAY! - and rush outside, jackets askew and flannel PJs flapping, just in time to be seriously injured by a rogue drone while the driver is…
OPERA LAMPS FTW
This seems completely reasonable to me. Much like amber turn signals are easier to see (yellow added to red on occasion) than all red (slightly more and then slightly less red on occasion), this makes your brain notice “Hey, something has changed. Let’s investigate and see what it means to us”.
I’m not disagreeing, but you should know he’s not brown. He’s kinda tan, with pinkish bits (no doubt) where not exposed to sun. In short, he’s “white”, or of northern European descent.
Isn’t that the Cavalier with the ignition determined to kill you?
GAWD YES.
My current ‘fun’ car.
Well, after hearing an SVP of my company say flatly “I won’t hire anyone older than 40 because we’re now selling to millenials”, then why not?
Bought a new house this year, which meant a move to a nearby town, only about 30 minutes distant. But this town is absolutely nuts in terms of running red lights! I thought I was imagining it, but it’s so bad that the locals actually don’t immediately pull out at the green light as they EXPECT SOMEONE TO RUN THE…
I had something similar happen about a month ago, though admittedly not as dramatic. They had just opened the door to the jetbridge and announced that preboarding would begin in a few minutes, and a couple walked right through everyone and about 10 yards down the jetbridge before they were confronted by a gate agent…
I hate this less than the Jaguar F-pace. That is all.
Did you miss the “not a minivan” bit? If you read the history of the 2.2, you’ll learn it was never meant to be turbo-charged so they did a LOT of work over the years. The Pentastar V6 is very sophisticated motor; direct injection is supposedly planned for the next phase of the upgrade program, but in the meantime…
I picked up a 1987 Chrysler Town & Country from its original owner. No, not a minivan (jeezus that gets on my nerves) but the K body wagon with glorious faux wood siding, 2.2 turbo, Mark Cross leather interior and 80s-rrific digital dash. Brought it to a show a few weeks ago and was totally upstaged by a mint…
Familiarity breeds contempt.
The Alfa Giulia in domestic show rooms? Domestic as in USA, or domestic as in Italy? Because I saw one in a showroom in Paris several months ago, but the US build & price still isn’t populated for Giulia.
But when is the inline 6 Ingenium going to be available??
Tesla-branded “deadly strength” ecstasy? Pshaw. Why, in my day, the X was so strong you TALKED to Tesla himself. And we liked it.
The first car I bought with my own money was a 1979 LeCar. Bright yellow, big black sunroof. This was in 1985, and parts were already scarce. When my master cylinder failed, it was impossible to get a new one, so I rooted around the local NAPA’s leftovers bin until I found enough seals to rebuild it myself. I had no…
