That’s a hot take right there. HA! Get it? A HOT take?

I was born in the town that invented the OG Coney Dog, not Chili Dog (in Michigan - and no, it probably isn’t where you think, unless you KNOW). In the early-1900s, it was invented by a Greek immigrant who was trying to capture some flavor of what he knew, and had discovered on his way through the New York area at…

Who cares? They’ve spent too long dragging this one out.

That was fantastic.

STANDARDIZE CHARGERS & BATTERIES, AND MAKE THEM SWAPPABLE.

Car seats are not as big a problem as people make them seem. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

My Queen has commanded me to do my civic duty, so do it I must and shall.

You’d be paranoid too, if everybody was out to get YOU.”

Wait, are you saying that your first thought is wondering why he hasn’t been killed yet? At least you recognize that this is the wrong emotion...

I would have sold my soul for the original-spec C-X75.

My perfect truck:

Unless invited to do so, don’t touch other people’s stuff. How the F were these people raised, that they think it’s fine?

I am so glad to live during an era when a Japanese twin turbo 400 hp V6 AWD midsize luxury sedan can be seen as boring. Remember cars from the 80s? Remember the first Acura Legend, when a NA ~150 hp V6 FWD midsize luxury sedan was seen as groundbreaking?

Yet another one of my ultimate car fantasies is to get a Mazda MX-3, and swap in the V6 from a Probe GT or Mazda MX-6. The biggest problem has been finding a clean MX-3 to start with.

I tried to link it in my post, and it looks like it worked for me, but maybe it’s not showing up for anybody else.

Jesus God in Heaven, the Diablo 6.0 is so lovely.

Funny you should mention that, as I said in another post:

I’ve always been a bit of a brainiac nerd, and when I was a kid, my aunt bought me this book (1988's More of the Straight Dope, by Cecil Adams). It was based off of the newspaper column, wherein people would ask questions (before the world wide web), and “Cecil” would answer them. Somebody had written in, asking why…

Someday I intend to get at least one ELR (maybe a black one for me, and a white one for the missus) - it largely has the styling of the CTS coupe that I love, the benefits of a town-range electric, and the long-range usability of a gas-powered car. But alas, we don’t have a house yet, and there’s nowhere to charge in…
