If there’s any type of car that should have it’s power rated in kilowatts it’s an electric car. But then 300 is a smaller number than 400...

“You darn kids don’t work nearly as hard as we did back in the day”

This is part of the reason I use my phone for almost nothing but phone calls. No added applications, no payment stuff, no coupon or points stuff, no navigation, no music, no email... just use for the very occasional internet access when away from my computer and as an “always with me” camera. Even at that it’s…

You only found out about this now? Geez, it’s been a notable member of the Zagato Hall Of Shame for decades. Since all you have to do is search “+ugly +Zagato” now that we have the wondrous internet available to us there’s really no excuse:-)

Note the “carbon-based fiber” prop rod for the door!

You buy the aeroplane! For the love of dog why is the question even being asked when the answer is so bleeding obvious? Try flying a sailplane sometime too. If you find that soaring turns you on you get to fly in something that gets cheaper per hour the more you fly it because almost all the costs are fixed. I also…

I remember a Mercedes rep in Great Britain being quoted in a 1980's aritcle in Car magazine saying the new upscale Japanese brands would fail because they didn’t have a “name” too. The “name” is something you build with product (and marketing) not something betowed upon a company by the automotive godhead at the time…

I figured it was a tribute to Libby Wolfson and her talkshow “You” and smash hit musical “I’m Taking My Own Head, Screwing It On Right, And No Guy Is Going To Tell Me That It Ain’t”

One of these survived? It’s a miracle!

I dunno, I think the stovebolt/Powerglide years were pretty low too. beautiful looking but not too sporty. If you actually go to period road tests you find that the Corvette engineers did a pretty good job keeping the acceleration decent through the later years of the C3. Most of the Corvettes produced in the 50's and…

I’ve had an Element as a daily driver since 2004 so I’m way ahead of the curve on dealing with massive A-pillars. I love the car for it’s functionality but I’ve never got used to all the contortions needed to see around that pillar. And that’s after over 400,000 KM of driving in two Elements.

Great! Another Google product to ignore! I can only hope Apple comes out with a competing product so I can ignore that as well.

Denis Jenkinson smiles down upon this from the afterlife.

I fear our age as passed my friend, the kids today just don’t know the beauty of watching The Love Boat and Fantasy Island back to back - and the Pacific Princess herself has gone to that great harbour in the sky.

Buy this and you too can look as badass as Blast Hardcheese as you drive down the road.

Thanks for remiding me that it’s been years since I’ve seen a first (or second) gen CRX on the road in anything but revoltingly modified condition - and those only seldom. I was worried that I might not be able to find something to be sad about before bedtime.

Hmmm... Just searched for 99-00 Corvettes on my local Craigslist. One is a hatchback, seems nicely optioned and stock but then the seller puts this in: “Selling all my vehicles for the right price. My selling price is $18,000. I will take reasonable offers. But NO LOWBALLS , please. Serious buyers only. This is not a…

The dealership franchise model has the advantage for the manufacturer of offloading a lot of the expense of selling and supporting the cars. The dealers borrow the money, service the debt and cover a lot of costs that Tesla has to pick up itself with the direct sales model. Presumably Tesla figure that this is worth…

Forget it Jake, it’s Koreatown.

My parents were ahead of their time when it came to seatbelt use so I’ve worn one as long as I can remember. I was born in 1970 and lots of my friend’s parents didn’t start wearing seatbelts or making their kids use them until the 80's. Back in the 90's I bought a 67 TR-4A that didn’t have seatbelts installed and…
