Or to get folks amped up enough to comment. As my mother use to say when my sister was doing her best to provoke me, “Ignore her. Responding only encourages her.”

Remote start. Because ever time I use it I feel guilty as hell for doing so. It’s a self indulgent waste of resources. But then so is driving a car in some ways so I guess it’s a matter of degrees.

We had an 18 car pile-up here in Austin yesterday as well. Five injured and I could see from the drone shots that a MR2 Spyder probably also met its end.

EDIT: 8-lug Pontiac wheels.

Yep.  One better than a snowflake wheel. 

Posted elsewhere that I was disappointed in these salad shooter wheels when I bought my 95 z28 but have come to love them as being defining of the generation.

Even better:

I hated my z28's saladshooter wheels when I first bought the car, but now would not change them for the world. Very “of the (GM) era” like these Pontiac wheels.

And I’ll append my earlier comment with a couple of 80's greats that seem to only get greater with age:

I like Minilites/Panasports/etc. ... but not on a MX-5 because they are too close to the originals. In which case, I’d want to have the originals. Perhaps because there are too many abused Miata’s with aftermarket wheels.

Radwood ready! Name that car.

Because people have developed a higher tolerance for risk in the past year. 

Chrysler makes sense as the home of near luxury fwd CUVs built on European platforms that would have absolutely no place in Jeep’s portfolio.

Came here to say that.  I’m now on the hunt for those wheel and something that they’ll fit! 

In Tejas, it makes a lot of sense to avoid leather, from my perspective. I’m a fan of the 90s/00s fabrics in our old Camrys and Caravans. They sit cool and no matter what you get on them they clean up with spritz of Windex or Fanstatic. The fabric in a lot of more recent cars shows spills and dirt and seems harder to…

But I’d have to up the homeowners liability insurance in case anyone tripped over the extension cord I’d need to run to the curb in front of my house. (Not really. There are fast chargers all over campus.)

I’m tempted to buy a $2300 Leaf I currently see on CL. The Leaf is down to range of 130 miles per charge. Since my commute is 15 miles round trip, that could last me as long as my other $2k-ish cars. And cost considerably less to operate and maintain.

Dear Jason, you are neglecting your actual duties to focus on less tech-forward electric vehicles like this one which pops-up every few days on Jalopnik. Clearly I’m being served this banner because I read one too many Changali post.

The more I think about that steering wheel the madder I get. Bunch of pussies at Tesla afraid to make a truly bold move like a joy stick or a touch pad where you can drive with a finger or a trackball or a mouse (click right for right turn signal, left for left, scroll wheel for speed up, slow down...what could be…

Hmmm. I would have expected Nance to have all this in a blind trust. Or was it?
