That's a good reason, I've always thought to have a crap car I could never get emotionally attached to just for this specific reason and to save the nice cars from that sort of treatment.

I love the idea of an electric vehicle as a 2nd car with a few caveats:

That's a good point, for long trips anyway.

I hope this event was an absoluteness accident with zero foul play. But honestly its very strange to say "this was going to be a mass casualty". IDK i guess Im not an expert in the field but its just one of those things that would not even come to mind right off the bat. My first thought would be my gosh I hope…

They chintzed out on the base engines, for some reason they couldn't put the 2.0 Turbo that is in the CC. The only other options are the TDI, which is quite good... for a diesel, and the V6, which is pretty meh.

So, as usual, five minutes googling turns up that ZeroHedge is full of shite. Yes, it's a carpark full of cars owned by VAG. No, those cars are not overstock, and no, they're not destined for the crusher. There may be a nugget of truth in saying that some are ex-lease, but only because that place is actually a…

It's Crazy to think He's gettting something like 317 HP/Liter or 216 HP/Cylinder. By the second metric? He's got more power in one cylinder than my 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix did with all 6 at a similar displacement, boost aside, it's still insane. To be fair, we both had modern headlights so I guess we're even.

At some point in my life I will publish my memoirs and cars will play an important role, as they actively shape and define the way I perceive my environment. The book will probably be called "Catcher in the Ricer" and while so far I haven't driven (or been driven in a) Maybach, it will have a prominent place in at…

This was my humble companion. Her name was Miss Piggy. A '94 Honda Civic LX. The car pictured here is not mine but is identical and without tints.

If your tires have white walls that they did not come with...you might be a bad driver.

If your local driving school offers you a "frequent flyer" rebate...you might be a bad driver.

If your picture and a notice written in large red letters is on the wall of your insurance agent's office...you might be a bad driver.
