“...So you’re literally wasting money on a less fuel-efficient car”

I thought the only sovereign citizen in the UK isKing Charles? Don’t know if he drives but apparently his mom took full advantage of the position: https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2022/09/14/queen-elizabeth-king-abdullah/

Whaaa? Bronco and Wrangler don’t count because they “aren’t cars” but the rolling (being nice there) turd that was the Land Rover Freelander makes the cut and the Chrysler 200 is honored? WITAF!

“Corvette owners will play with you on the highway"???  Every Corvette I ever see is going under the limit in there left lane with a male boomer at the wheel.  Chevy could put 3 cylinder engines in them and most owners would never notice.

I actually agree with Elon that you shouldn’t own Tesla shares if you don’t believe they will achieve fully autonomous driving. For the record - I don’t believe, and I don’t own shares.

1. Who trades in a Ferrari for a Mitsubishi Outlander?

Good luck finding a dealer with the foresight to spend the extra $$ to have a yellow Mustang in inventory.  After all- most cars are configured and ordered by dealers, not buyers - and their motivation is to move merch which translates into the blandest, dullest and overall least offensive colors available.

I realized a few years ago that KITT was actually a prototype Cylon. AI, red light going back and forth... Just dreaming of the day it got to introduce itself as our robotic overlord!

It was a dark and stormy night (of course!). I was driving along a back road in my Miata when two eyes looked up at me... I hit the brakes but it was too late; it was a cat, and I hit it. Stopped but couldn’t find anything.

The turn signal.

So just buy the kids AR-15s! They can still have fun. Besides golf  carts don't come in as many colors.

Deer are the rats of suburban NJ. Ubiquitous, fearless and always hungry

But they couldn’t be bothered to add a high mount 3rd brake light or even make the other brake lights visually distinct from the running lights... I have been behind these as they brake and it’s easy to miss. USPS proved decades ago that the 3rd brake light reduced rear end collisions.

So if you want one, the yoke’s on you!

Weevils? You want weevils? Too cheap to pay for first class and you think we're GIVING you weevils? The nerve!

I rented an Altima last year. Handling and visibility were worse than my wife's Pacifica. Good riddance.

1. Can I get one with a rear wiper?

24 years ago I said ‘practical can wait’ and bought a Miata. I still have it, still love driving it and my youngest is learning to drive stick so they can get behind the wheel. 

I’ve always wanted an old Land Rover. Not an Icon makeover with an LS swap - I want it old, leaky, noisy, slow and unreliable. I know it will bankrupt me but I still want one!
