When I was younger (probably 10), I was in the car with my mother on my way to school. We stopped at a red light behind, and out of nowhere, two ostriches ran straight through the busy intersection, dodging the few cars that were making left turns. They just ran straight through and kept on going down the street. A…

Agreed. Either a convertible or a model with a mid-engine and removable hard top. 

Agreed. I don’t even mind the original, but do prefer your idea. Most people who buy these probably don’t use the bed/capabilities that much anyways, so why not add some visual flair? 

My good friend has a Versa Note which I recently drove for the first time, and I too couldn’t figure out why I liked it. The driving position was awful, it felt like a mini mini-van, like I was sitting way up high looking down on the road. The transmission was terrible, the steering was terrible, and the body roll was…

I’ll say it: Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet

Eh I agree kids shouldn’t have these cars, but practically this would be a bit silly. I doubt many people under 20 are actually buying these cars, more likely borrowing / the parents bought it anyways.

I agree completely! If you’re not getting out of the car / just going to friend’s / family’s, why bother with presentable clothing? And on that note, what even IS presentable clothing? It’s all just a bunch of social constructs designed to control us and make us spend money on stuff we don’t need.

Every time I see a single cab truck, I think back to my old late 80's Ford Ranger, and how cramped it was. I’m 6'2" and operating the clutch was a struggle. I later, briefly, drove a single cab, automatic Chevy S10 (4 cyl, so slow), which wasn’t nearly as bad but was still uncomfortable. Not as big of a deal w/ full…

This would be the most entertaining thing in the history of auto racing! 

I like the looks of the new NSX, but why not go for an original? Bidding ends soon on this one w/ 14k miles but surely there are others available for under $130k. Fun to drive, relatively easy to maintain, manual transmission, maybe not “rare” but certainly less common than all the newer sports cars in SoCal.

I really enjoyed the video you and Ballaban put together and I very much enjoyed this article! Your writing is great.

Older Navigators I see on the road (the generation prior to the one in the video) always seem to ride low and strangely! Every time I see one it looks like the suspension is toast. Maybe because they had small wheels that look strange? Here in the bay area anytime I see a Navigator, it always looks f***ed (other than…

1. Universal Fast Charging Standard - I don’t want to have to worry about which chargers I can use. I’m in CA where we already have decent charging infrastructure, but I don’t like the idea of having to figure out which chargers I can use, what speeds they charge at, then determine how long I need to park and plan my…

I assume this is why, at least in regard to rear-facing seats. I remember my mom’s old Chevy Lumina minivan had built in booster seats for kids over ~4. They just folded down out of the seat back like an arm rest. 

I second Meotter96's thoughts. I have a Mazda3 GT and really enjoy the rotary controller / volume knob / shortcut buttons. Once you get used to it, it makes it very easy to operate the controls while only having to glance at the screen. They fall right to hand when my arm is resting.

What a Rogue salesman, getting his Kicks from hurting others. I hope he gets the Maxima penalty, Finds a new Path and turns over a new Leaf.

I think that’s a fair price for one of these in good shape. I actually really like the blue interior. For a fun weekend cruiser it’s appropriate, though I don’t know if I’d want to live with it as a DD (or the lack of trunk space).

Meanwhile over at Subaru, the current Impreza sport gets 30 hwy / 22 city with the 5spd manual, or 35 hwy / 28 city with the CVT. 

It is a pretty glaring fault in an otherwise awesome car.

Thanks! Might give those a try.
