The best in the fucking world, if you got the cash. 

That’s one too many zeros on that price, and that might only be because of the four-speed.

This list is incomplete without a 1993 Chevy Cavalier. Period.

If there was ever a car that’s the living embodiment of the Jazz Styrofoam cup, it’s that Beretta.

Weather extremes? Nordic countries get along quite well with tons of snow and smaller vehicles. Rain and heat don’t matter for trucks vs. cars.

I see not much…

The Taliban would be proud.

Let me guess - next year, an addendum to the effect that ‘a smile wouldn’t hurt once in a while’.

Hot take: women’s blazers too often look like a drag queen doing their level-best to do a Love Boat skit. I’m for dressing professionally, but you cannot tell me that a woman’s incapable of looking smart and professional in, say, a blouse or shirt or even a cardigan (heavens forbid women dress comfortably).…
