The more I hear about Virginia, the less I ever want to spend a single second in that state. With all due respect, what the hell were you thinking driving even a single MPH over the limit there?

Congratulations! The law of averages indicates that eventually you would get a good one. Enjoy.

I always had an affinity for him as well, but I grew up in Milwaukee as well, so that’s a big reason why. 

The waiting sucks. And once your car gets to the port in the US it is a black hole with no more news as to what is going on. My car got delayed 3-4 weeks in NJ while they replaced the front spoiler I damaged. Which is awesome, but it would have been nice to know what is going on...

Kinda crazy that the Nav gets 18 mpg combined, though. That’s what get if I’m not careful in my 20 year old Audi wagon.

“The Navigator doesn’t use a gear selector or a dial. It uses buttons, located on the center console, beneath the air vents. You get used to it after a few times, but I couldn’t figure out why this was something that needed redesigning.” Read more

massive 23-gallon gas tank, so filling it will definitely add up

One little Honda CR-V panic-braked as I came up beside him on I-87

Also, don’t the drive modes change the electric steering... like a lot??

I’ve spent a lot of time in my friend’s non-Black Label version, and drove it for a couple of hours. I’m cheap, but I honestly think the Navigator is worth every penny.  If I had the means, I’d have one for sure. Unfortunately for me they’re not depreciating like the previous generation. 

I bet it still works for them... “it’s an accurate view of the flat earth, from the top!”

I was going to mention the globe graphic but go in a totally different direction. Something something I guess they won’t be selling any to upper class flat earthers....
