Been doing this for years. Check the license plate cover.

I don’t think that list is meant to be all inclusive. *$45k (after the $7500 EV credit, most likely) gets you the 300 mile battery, 5000 lbs towing capacity, short bed, two door, with basic equipment.

They know that. This language is specifically to discourage owners from bringing an underaged "emotional support” animal onboard. Real service animals would be far beyond this age restriction anyway 

“maybe cocktail made from generic vodka and store-brand tonic water.”

Just get an old Tacoma or 4Runner like every other person on Maui has. Promise you, the best parts of the island are off-road. Anything on road is too congested with tourists to enjoy a sports car. But the island is jam packed with stunning nature that can only be reached with a 4x4. You’ll see why every local has a…

Definitely the most resemblance to Karl Marx. In theory, at least 

Like the venerable dodge caravan, they should have a Cullinan and a Grand Cullinan with an extra foot of trunk space 

I thought it was a portmanteau of Canadian + Scandinavians... because north and cold stuff.

Judging by the army of “deer whistles” she has on the hood and being in Kansas, I’m guessing she has had quite a few run-ins with rodents. Growing up in Indiana I know a raccoon can rip the front bumper off a Golf at highway speed. I briefly considered the same brush guard (and making a safari GTI), but I knew I was…

Nobody shits on Musk or his companies more than Gizmodo and Jalopnik. They seem to conveniently forget these are extremely early test scenarios. You don't jump straight from nothing to 150 mph future skates... It's incremental progress. And if Musk waited 5 years for a fully functional prototype, they'd equally berate…

All those Explorers financed for 72 months at 10 APR will be looking real cute in the middle of a deep recession at $4 a gallon has. 

e39 BMWs had a “REST” button on the HVAC controls. This feature would keep cycling hot air from the engine for 30 minutes after you turned the car off. Great for keeping the car warm when you pop in the gas station or a coffee shop during the winter.

Hate to bring bad news, but spare tires are practically extinct from mostnew cars. Buy a donut and jack kit if you want one.

The super bright DRLs keep confusing people into thinking they're headlights. The new Rogue is the worst offender. No automatic headlights and the DRLs are bright enough for people to drive on the highway with them, thinking their lights are on

Tastes always change. The CUV boom is being driven by old or fat people who have trouble sitting down into a sedan and parents who think minivans are dorky. Neither one is a particularly sexy group to be associated with.

The original IS300 was an objectively good sports sedan for the time and one of the E46 330i closest competitors performance wise. It’s biggest sales obstacles?

Look at the top pic. The black vents close to black view of everything in the engine bay when parked or operating at low temp to improve efficiency. When the car gets hot, it opens up to let in more air. So most of the time when you see the car, the grill will be closed, obscuring the radiator support. I imagine the…

James May's "Cars of the People" on Amazon was surprisingly entertaining 

I’m 6'4 and I think the best cars for tall people are not SUVs, bur large sedans. I find the SUV driving position uncomfortable, because it’s optimized for shorter people who buy crossovers for their easy ingress/egress.
