I’ve been in the rear of the current Bolt. If the Bolt EUV has more leg room, even if it’s a few inches, it’s worth the price increase.

Shit tons? There are three people in the video, everybody’s in their own car, no one anticipated getting close to anyone. The attendant (presumably, going off the lanyard) should probably be masked as a matter of course, but he maintains a distance. The two spitting and fighting I don’t think should be taken as…

The price includes a 20% VAT and the non-limited Legende starts about 10k€ less (and the Pure 14K less), even the S starts 3.5k lower.

Like the clearly wacky lady who decided to pass the line of cars I was in while we were traveling around a blind curve at a good 5 over the posted 45 MPH limit. I hit the brakes and turned toward the side of the road to allow her to cut in juuust before she hit the oncoming car head on, which would have ended up in my…

I have this one weird trick for getting free stuff: If you steal it and don’t get arrested, it’s free!

Yeah, when I had the car my username stems from I gave 0 shits about attempts to muscle past it by assholes.

Do people forget about Vietnam?

I had a car try to do that a few days ago in a lane that merged into mine due to construction. There was barely enough room for Kei car to pass, let alone the Jetta that decided they would go for it. I was watching my mirrors and noticed it immediately. I pulled my car a few inches to the right (remember, there wasn’t…

Two weeks, just two weeks, the plan is coming together.

Absolutely. Swap Hans Zimmer for Hanna-Barbera.

That’s the best part. Did he migrate over from that Boomer car message board?

coincidently, it took me 4 gas stations this morning before I found one that had premium available.

Wife HATES car shopping with me, and she hates dealing with car salesman.  There is some truth with that the luxury marques have better training for their sales people.  She couldn’t stand the VW and Honda salesperson.

On this weeks episode of Hoarders

I cross-shopped a Mazda3 and a Ram 1500. 

I suppose I was using the word ‘interesting’ in the least interesting way possible.  Maybe the better approach is, any little detail that stands out.  Sort of like the left handed cup-holders in my wife’s Fit.  A cool, useful, little detail that other competitors don’t seem to offer.

It’s all centered on making healthcare a commodity rather than a public good. If it wasn’t treated as such, it wouldn’t make sense to treat it as part of compensation for employment. 

No. It can’t be both. Everything has to be viewed through the most depressing lens possible. You can only see the negative in every situation. And you have to point out the bad in everything to everyone else just to make sure no one forgets how awful everything is and that nothing is good.

This is the internet sir. The only reaction allowed is to either defend or condemn this in the most extreme manner possible.

I went in to my dealers thinking I was going to buy a Kia Stinger GT, but somehow I ended leaving those negotiations and ended up with a Mazda Miata. Weird world, indeed.
