The upper level trims may be the best, but having sat in the base trim XC60 in all black, I was quite disappointed in how cheap everything felt.

Great story!

Wait, you’re saying Subaru owners are modifying their engine blocks to be closed deck from their stock open deck form?

Now I understand just how small the Jimny is!

Only sad that we can’t get the liftback with the manual that’s available in the betrunked Genesis G70.

I always drive without pans on.

I’m familiar with Bathurst, but I still read the headline as “How You Can Stream Australia’s Gift to the World, the Butthurt 12 Hour, in America”...

Vacuum operated? Nutty! I forget how many systems on old cars were hydraulic or vacuum operated.

I heard Mark-whiz.

Ignore the haters, that color and the wheels look great!

That still doesn’t make them snow and ice tires - not any more than Continental ExtremeContact DWS all season tires with the three peak mountain snowflake symbol are.

You’re clearly ill prepared for the polar vortex without snow tires on that.

That’s a good point I didn’t think about.

Why is the delivery charge even a thing for cars? Is there any other good that you can buy at a store, in stock, and have to pay a separate delivery charge?

That’s normal.  BMW puts its longitudinal inline engines at an angle (slant) to facilitate packaging and lower the center of gravity.

That is totally nuts. I’m so glad we don’t have that in Michigan.

DELIVERY EXCEPTION

Rear engined, rear wheel drive, manual, 3 cylinder, 5 door hatchback with an awesome paint job? Where do I sign up?!?

User name checks out.

It's more likely a star.
