If we are including European airports in this discussion for me it is Rome (FCO) or Frankfurt (FRA). I am willing to give Frankfurt a bit of a pass because of the sheer volume of flights that pass in and out of there, but does that mean it has to be so ugly and depressing? Rome on the other hand is an absolute…

This, this a thousand times this! I have never had a successful (on time no delays) flight out of O'Hare.

I would like to respectfully request you do a profile on the Bertone Ramarro from the early 80's. It was on the cover of the first car magazine I ever purchased, and I bought it because the car was so striking.

The Mazda 5 mini-minivan is an impressive use of space. I can also attest to the Ford Flex's versatility for road trips because of the packaging. 3 adults 2 kids and their luggage on a week long family vacation is no problem for the Flex with no complaints even from the 3rd row.

My wife's car has this string of buttons on the B Pillar by the front door. We have never pushed those buttons ever.

I would agree with you except for the fact there is a paper mill in an industrial part of our town and I have found when I drive by this mill the smell is less intrusive when I change the air setting to "Recirc"

I remember those! they were very early 90's. The last two cars we have owned (Fords) had the 6 disc changer built into the dashboard head unit.

The Six Disc CD Changer is a completely useless feature in a modern car. In addition to the aforementioned CD changer, and AM/FM radio, the head unit in my wife's car has bluetooth audio, USB audio, satellite radio, and a line-in jack. My wife loaded 3 or 4 CD's into the changer when she bought the car. They came out…

Alitalia is certainly the least helpful airline I have ever encountered. They lost our luggage on a short flight from Catania Sicily to Rome. All the passengers' luggage was put on the wrong plane, so everyone was sitting at the baggage claim carousel waiting for our luggage to come up and they didn't bother to inform…

I took Air Rossiya from Milan Italy to Saint Petersburg once. The flight was barely a third full, it was a fairly new Airbus A320. I had an entire row by myself. The neat thing was they served an entire meal with beer and wine on real china with real metal utensils in the economy class! The big surprise was the food…

I flew Aeroflot from Saint Petersburg to Moscow in 2008. It was one of the more interesting flights I have ever been on. The plane was a Cold War Soviet copy of the old Lockheed L-1011. It was ancient, but the bonus was the seats were positively huge by the stingy standards of today's airliners. They boarded the…

My wife has a colleague who bought two Chrysler PT Cruisers simultaneously for their family because the dealer, "gave them a much better price if they agreed to buy two."

Thanks for the link. It is definitely clean and straight, but that custom steering wheel is hideous, and the BBS wheels while nice don't look as good as the factory wheels that came with this car in my opinion. Also don't get me started on the neon blue door inserts.

I couldn't agree more. adding all that crap defeats the original intent of the car.

The 500E is an amazing and historically important car which will surely appreciate in value. I have no doubt that these cars will eventually command prices well above $50k, but not one that has been tweaked like this. Find an unmolested one that looks like it just left the dealership in the early 90's and you have a…

The price is a little high, but this is a very safe investment. The car is close enough to stock that it could be restored, and these cars are only going to appreciate. This car is worth buying and holding on to.

In my opinion a 98 Isuzu Rodeo wasn't worth $4,200.00 when it was sitting on the Isuzu dealer's lot 15 years ago. Time and these modifications have not raised it's value.

Sure there are plenty of exotics that have been turned into one of a kind police cars, but for day to day use the coolest police car has to be Alfa Romeo 159 used by the Italian Carabinieri...

It is certainly true now because it is on the Internet!

Unlike his predecessor Lyndon B. Johnson was a "Cadillac" man. One day while surveying his Texas ranch in a 65 Eldorado some cattle were spooked and started a stampede. President Johnson attributed this stampede to the bright Texas sun reflecting off the chrome surrounds of double vertical headlights on the Eldorado.…
