Considering it’s got an automatic and forced induction, all I really learned that Afshin Behnia and I are unlikely to have common interest in cars.

Range Rover drivers are the absolute worst of the worst when it comes to thinking their cars are actually as wide as Michael Moore, particularly to their left. Then they drive so far from the center line of the road that they hit cyclists in marked bike lanes. Ask me how I know.
Overseas? Try over the border, where it will become the ride of some low level drug cartel lieutenant or local police chief.

Hondas are better engineered than all other cars, which makes them heartier under any given service or use regiment.
Nobody builds a car today worthy of comparison to the products of the actual Maserati Brothers, unless it is Honda, but there is an equivalent to the Maseratis of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Jaguar has the proper combination of admired sports car styling, sufficient performance, questionable quality, embarrassing brand…
NYC taxis’ engines age well because they aren’t put through heat cycles. They run them three shifts, twenty four hours a day, from when they enter service until they’re retired. The lack of cold starts is the key to their longevity.
I had a coworker that traded in his 3000GT for one of the very first E39 M5s to be delivered to NYC. It had mechanical issues from day 1 and will go down in history as one the worst executed great ideas in automotive history. The 3000GT wasn’t even a great idea.
The price quote on trade ins is wholesale. At the dealer I worked for, we were taught all sorts of tricks for convincing people their cars weren’t worth wholesale. None of them had any impact on the wholesale value of a car, because the wholesale value is based on only the most casual inspection. That’s why there’s a…
It is hard to feel sorry for a dealer that offers so much less than market value for a trade in. They’re trying to rip off the customer in this scenario, opening the door to someone offering a better deal.
My boss just suggested I get a pilot’s license last night. What’s the point if I can’t give impromptu flight lessons to models?
They’re not competitors, but that doesn’t change the fact that the AMG A45 isn’t even in the running for being the most powerful production hatchback today, let alone ever.
The Porsche Panamera Turbo S has 570 hp. The Audi RS7 has 560 hp. Both are hatchbacks.
Lexus loyalty isn’t a crazy bitch because the cars are actually good. They’re not meant to make other people impressed; they’re meant to impress their owners.
I was watching the cultural cleansing coverage this morning and thinking something similar. We won’t do anything about our economy, or security, or schools, or the impending budgetary collapse that will accompany the first rate hike; but we’ll go full-Bosnian on our own history!
Wasn’t it Bernie who said, “they thought they had me by the balls, but their hands aren’t big enough!”? They need him because there’s literally nobody left in the EU with any stones whatsoever. You can’t give the teams much control, as all they want is what is good for their particular team right now. You can’t put…
