In my head I pronounced “Uz-Daewoos” as “Ooze-da-wooze” as I first read it.

Oh, I wish.

It just doesn’t have the same ring to it these days:

Maybe he's confused it with the bicycle cable brand Jagwire.

This made me smile.

David, I love your stories, but you’ve got to trim the fleet down to a manageable 4-ish cars, or they’re all going to die of neglect.

But they’re country exclusive - Vauxhall is exclusive to the UK and RHD only, and Opel is everywhere else.

You’re not kidding about Carmel!

A box of hero rocks, that is.

That’s absolutely hilarious. It’s unbelievable how many dealers are content to shoot themselves in the foot when it comes to making a sale.

I could have bought a new Golf Sportwagen or Alltrack well equipped with a manual for less than what I have into my high mileage example in…

Well, there is the street course on Belle Isle used for the Indy Car races, which is a beautiful location but suffers from extremely long setup and takedown times - maybe they could run both races on the same course, back to back on two subsequent weekends? Do it during the North American International Auto Show (they…

Ahem. Michigan begs to differ.

Why is it that the Allroads have so many airbag problems? Is it the high amount of travel?
