Reading Koenigsegg marketing material always gives me this feeling like I’m being slightly hoodwinked but I can’t put my finger on where. It all sounds completely common-sense and obvious, but I feel like I’m following a magic act and being intentionally misdirected from some key point.

I mean, this seems completely on…

Can confirm, a full tank of gas and nowhere to go produced wonderful Friday nights in HS. +1 for no airbags and it is a good day when I just leave my phone at home.

I’m sure the percentage of jalops that are also millennials is a minority of a minority type of small group. Just seems like kids these days have priorities that focus around their phones more than anything else. In our youth the car was an easy way to escape from home and be on your own for a bit. Now they just use…

Uber: “Your final destination begins with us.”

Perhaps it depends on where you are. I don’t live far from the Kentucky horse country; I see more old Rovers there than new ones, these are very popular with the old money crowd around there. Old money does not flaunt and gives zero fucks if you compliment their ride.

Yup, you’ve understood this 100% in my book. ‘Money’ does not advertise itself in silly supercars - that’s what Paris Hilton does. Money also does not buy gently ageing S-classes and 7-series, or out-of-style Maseratis, 12 year old Porsches or 1970s Rolls Royces.

Honda badge ruins it.

Four doors for more whores

2008 Alpina B7: $29,995

The Lotus Elise. It looks like some 6-figure exotic but costs as much as an Accord.

Uh oh, here comes a knuckle sandwich.

Your dad’s “solution” is the mark of an arrogant asshole with nothing better to do than waste people’s time who actually work for a living. Fuck your dad.

So if I offered you a grand for some old beater you were selling while your neighbor was offering 5k, you would prefer to sell it to me for 1k?

This is not a scandal though. It was never a secret that they emit more when cold, it’s common knowledge. What might not be common knowledge is that the emission systems struggle to reach operating temperatures in cold climates during city driving, but it was never secret or a defeat device. It’s just how these…

most savvy car buyers can do just as good or better on their own

Neutral: I used Truecar but noticed there were other cars slightly used for way less than if I were to buy brand new. The car I bought was fully loaded (2014 Fiesta ST) and new it might’ve been around 24k msrp new. I still have a warranty and 15k miles when I picked it up, but sticker price was 17.5k. Really pays to…

It was/is only a matter of time before other manufacturers are snared in this dieselgate scandal. It seemed fishy from the get go that VAG would be the only player pulling this stunt.

A while ago I watch a woman cross the street in front of me. She was texting, she made it all the way to the curb and then promptly walked into the pole for the pedestrian signal was mounted on. The phone went flying...

And anti-streetcar! Though maybe that’s just because it has car in the name...
