“you are likely to get your money’s worth out of the free roadside assistance.”

Big deal. I found half of a sleeping UAW worker under the 3rd row of my Traverse.

It’s a Chechen wedding. Car closest to the bride and groom is considered the best or some shit. It’s their tradition, they always do it.

It is hard, I get it, but I think generally if you asked people what the worst part about buying a car they would say “being at the dealership”

I’ve been to a few auto shows. They’re crowded and boring and essentially useless as they don’t show you how the car drives or really even what it’s like when it’s turned on. Private events, live streamed unveilings, and YouTube is the way to bring new cars to the attention of the market.

Well if I had money, tell you what I’d do, I’d not go to Doug’s and buy a Mercury for forty two.
You’d have to be crazy ‘bout that Mercury.

You ARE someone cool! Look at how awesome your jeep is! Fuck you, JERRY from ACCOUNTING! THis is waaaaaayyyyy better than your…

With an air-cooled engine, you generally have less control over your engine temperature, which leads to thermal efficiency losses, and the fan might well use more power than a water pump, and you have bigger temperature differences between engine components which you need to compensate by building more play into it,…

So - as a non-engineer - if an engine in the back of the car, receiving almost zero direct air flow, can be air cooled, and make 500hp, and rev to 9,000RPM, why aren’t cars still designed for air cooling? For comparison, this air cooled engine makes literally twice as much HP per L as the liquid cooled engine in my…

We averted a mass-casualty event because Raph can be assured they are functional scoops AND functional windows.

Eventually car conversations will replace “horsepower” with “kilowatt hour”.

My favorite thing is when they show an interest in a car. It can be nostalgia, status, or even color. But knowing they had genuine interest in something car related for a moment lets me have a moment to expand what they know if only a tiny amount.

“Dodge needed a little flash in the pan to remind the world that the Durango exists...”

Miata illegally passes over a double yellow on blind turns and almost causes a head on collision? Maybe that’s what was wrong with it? I dunno though, I’m just a human being with eyes.
