Honestly, this is as good an explanation as any other (if not better)...

This is so true. Years ago, I used to work at a suburban Atlanta airport. The bigger the plane, generally the less impressive the car. For example, we had one guy with a G-550 who would pull up in a Corolla. He had nicer cars, but why would you leave a Benz at the airport? It was always the folks in smaller, crappier…

I have a crash pad in a brand-new building in the snootiest part of Atlanta (basically across the street from the St. Regis) and even our vehicle policy isn’t that draconian. It just has to run, have valid plates and can’t be on blocks or have a flat.

Yeah, I’m willing to bet it was a new-RV owner with a flashy new tow vehicle. The learning curve on a Class A pusher is kinda steep, combined with the learning curve on flat-towing a vehicle and a nagging spouse saying “You’re doing it wrong,” and all of a sudden, your 67-year-old brain is crashing from the…

NP. As others have said, V12 and gated manual will only go up from here. As for the mods, the taillight revision I actually like and the wheels actually work for me. While the cat bypass is not my cup ‘o tea, it isn’t a deal killer as it’s more than 25 years old, so it doesn’t need to be smogged in Georgia. I’d…

Gotta admit...I just dig those subcompact hatches...my BIL had a Fit and It was just flat out a great little car. But the original tweet does ring true: why do they always have to park next to a Suburban or Navigator? Never fails...you’ll see an empty spot next to them and HAHAJUSTKIDDING: Soul/Mini/Fiat 500/Fit/Yaris.

God, I feel this so hard. My wife used to have a 2013 Escape. When the battery died, I learned just how desperate Ford was to cling to the repair dollar. Since it’s underneath the dashboard, you either have to remove an incredibly fragile airbox or the cowling and windshield wipers. Something that should take 38…

When was the last time anyone even saw a Zipcar? My kid’s college has one (allegedly), but it’s never available when anyone needs it.

It’s organic and GF, thus the increased expense.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Overall, I like it. The interior color is hideous and the wood trim is meh, but those are easily fixable items. If you’re enterprising, reupholstering isn’t that hard and trim is a less-than-an-afternoon project. If you’re not, saddle blanket seat covers are available, well, everywhere and would fit the ‘70s motif.

The S and X come with a fob standard, I think. The 3 & Y come with NFC cards standard, most people use their phone day-to-day. You can buy a fob for the 3 & Y if you want to for like $120. Replacement/additional NFC cards are $25. Takes about two seconds to program yourself (read: and not pay a dealer $60 to do the…

I have never met Tiger, but having had multiple interactions with Barkley over the years (including once picking him up from Hartsfield and driving him to Auburn, Ala.—thanks college internship!), I can say he is one of the most laid back, affable and congenial people I have ever met. Who you see on TV is exactly who…

I came here to suggest the Morgan...nice work, Torch.

Compared to my old GTI, it comes out to a push. However, the 3 actually replaced my wife’s X3M, so we’re actually way ahead. That’s also not factoring in the actual cost of the energy (home charging on off-peak rates), which also adds to the Tesla’s lead. I realize everyone’s mileage may vary.*

Georgia charges $200/year for EV registration to “make up” for the decrease in gas tax revenues. Current gas tax in GA is $0.3515/gallon, so my break-even point would be 569 gallons of fuel annually in a comparable gasoline-powered car to my Model 3.

It’s not bad until Spann rolls up his shirtsleeves. Then bend over and kiss your ass goodbye.

I’ve been on the internet since the early 90s and I think I just found the dumbest thing written in the history of the internet.

I think the jumping off point shouldn’t be road hardware, but networking capabilities between all traffic on a particular road. Think the Link 16 between the F-35 and other battlefield components. If every car is talking to each other, each individual car gains a clearer picture of what’s going on, while contributing…

There are a *lot* of bad assumptions in the comments. First is the assumption that if you use your phone as a key, that rules out all other forms of keys, which is so ridiculously stupid. Take my Model 3, which normally uses my phone (via Bluetooth, not NFC) as its key. It came with two NFC key cards (I can get more),…
