You can rent a 911 Turbo on Turo for less than $400.

Honda Element. Utilitarian paradise that out ID Buzzes the ID Buzz.

You idiots wouldn’t know Bond’s coolest car if it hit you square in the product placement.

Honda doesn’t want any Nissan leadership. At this point, Nissan leadership couldn’t be trusted to run a Taco Bell Express, let alone a global automobile manufacturer auto finance conglomerate.

Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” doesn’t even have A car, let alone a fast one in it.

2016 Tacoma. The infotainment screen goes dimmer if you turn the headlights on. Even DRLs. If you turn them off, the screen is brighter. This includes the backup camera.

No VinFast?

Highway 1, about 30 kilometers outside of Kandahar.

Ford struck gold with its C platform. Ford, Mazda, and Volvo shared the platform starting in the early 2000s.

The newer C2 is used by the Maverick, the Bronco Sport, the Escape, the Lincoln Z, and the Lincoln Nautilus. 

Link’s broken yo.

V8 Dakota. With convertible option.
