I hear what you are saying. Unfortunately for them, people are smart and knowledge doesn’t stop at the borders. I grew up watching Alfas race on the blacktop, and want my modern Alfa to reflect that. Chrysler can go fuck itself.

Owned an Alfa Stelvio for over a year. Issues: Backup camera isn’t great but I’ve seen worse. 2 software updates performed by dealer. That’s it.

Based on what? Alfa Romeo is easily one of the oldest and greatest car brands of all time. And the reviews from journalists and owners of this car have all been positive, it even won TopGears car of the year! So tell me how either of the two takes you just said are true? :)

Also, it runs.

While the price is high, I don’t hate the idea of modern functionality in a vintage space.

I want them to do a new Lotus Carlton/Omega. Take an existing car and just Lotus the heck out of it until it is a monster that makes every mustache bristle and monocle pop in England.

Wait, did the US dollar tank like 50% value in between paragraphs?  First it was 244k in today's dollars and then it doubled to only 200k?

I finally got to see one in the metal at the Schlumph Museum in France.

Ive seen one in real life here in Chicago. And you could imagine the joy on my face when I realized what it was! I wanted to wait for the owner so badly. But sadly, they never showed. So I went around the front to see more of this giant slab of wedginess and boom! It was winking at me! Love at first sight? I’m not…

i can imagine. very low, very heavy. like trying to slide a manhole cover across a shag rug.

Two horns was quite common on posh British cars; one for town, one for country.

Having had the opportunity to drive one for a couple of weeks, I would say the car was both exciting and terrifying. Exciting in that it was feast and smooth. In a strait line. In the curves, it was a handful.

The Lagonda electronics saga is always worth highlighting. What’s less known is that Aston’s engineers had to jump through more hoops to get the drivetrain to work. They moved the engine as far back as they could, which forced them to install an inferior air intake. They then had to enlarge the valve openings to…

As utterly weird as this car was (is), it remains an “era favourite” for me. Design-wise it leads the “crisp folded” look that became dominant in the early 80s. Flakey as they were, the instruments laid the groundwork for the digital dash designs of the 80s.

I cooked some salmon in the office microwave. I apologized a hundred times, to no avail.

Buick discovered that “LaCrosse” means “jerking off” to French Canadians. They went with it anyway.

“third party” -- also sexually suggestive.

He brought Apple pay and cash, so that is more than one type of currency.  The only thing the miles were to pay for were for energy in a closed system.  It was Tesla “money” to pay for Tesla product.

Wait, so, the guy’s credit card gets deactivated because of a fraud detection issue the day before his trip (stated in the article), he takes multiple forms of payment with him (also stated in the article), and got stranded because of erroneous information in Tesla’s app and due to a quirk in Tesla’s billing system…

If Ford was giving out gas cards that said they had $500 on them but turned out to have $0, I’d write that up, too. Tesla makes some fantastic cars, and they also sometimes do shit like this. You as a car enthusiast have a right to know what’s going on. That’s why I’m telling you.
