I feel hungry.

What I learned today: modern full-size pickups are too big.

I’m a Cardinals fan living in Chicagoland, and while my baseball fandom normally brings me a great deal of joy while surrounded by Cubs fans, the last few days have been exceptionally outstanding. Well played, Cubs, well played.

Why in the ever loving fuck would I want to drive around with the glove box open? If that’s a requirement to use a feature, then that feature is poorly designed. Shut the glove box before moving.

1. Be in the car. I hate driving anywhere with anyone. I’d much rather be alone.

See, I’d go the exact opposite direction. If my wife wanted to talk to me for 7 hours I would drive directly into a bridge embankment. Frankly, I’d rather her sleep for the entire 7 hours or, alternatively, drive for 7 hours alone in the car. I hate talking to people while I’m in the car. Read a book or something.

OOO OOO OOO I loved seeing them at the Chicago Auto Show, as did my son (new Alfas included for effect).

Say what you want about Toyotas being boring, beige-mobiles, etc, etc. What they are, in terms of drivetrains, are absolutely bulletproof. The vast, vast majority of purchasers would be best served by purchasing one of these vehicles than the "more interesting" cars that enthusiasts love. So having them focus their…

I admit to not having yet read the article, but based solely on the first picture of the grill, I'm voting CP. That front end is the very epitome of butt-ugly 80s-ness. If you gave it to me for free, I would take it to the scrap yard without driving it once. Holy cow, is it ugly.

KHAAAAAAN!

Problem #1: "I was listening to the news". Don't do that. The news might be the biggest source of disinformation out there.

To be honest, nothing. I want to know nothing about the 2015 Subaru Outback. It has no appeal to me at all. Sorry, Subie lovers. *shrug*

I had a buddy driving a 1990 Jeep Cherokee with a few of us down an interstate when a radiator hose blew, spraying the windshield with coolant. Being almost an hour from home, near St. Louis in the summertime, there was no way the Jeep was going to make it home without coolant. Rummaging around in the back revealed a…

The best part about this is that even when you have to leave the rails, you're still driving a Land Cruiser - AKA the vehicle I picked even without knowing about the rail attachments. Excellent, excellent choice.

Yup. I got so tired of Chrome using a shit ton of CPU and memory I switched back to Firefox after years away. Much, much cleaner and faster, at least on my computer, FWIW.

Eh, I've had my same IL plate since 2006 on 3 separate vehicles, for whatever that's worth.

This interior almost gives me an erection. What a beautiful place in which to operate a motor vehicle! Mmm...

I misread that as "beating off Jeff Gordon" and I thought maybe you were talking about a different sort of thing altogether.

Digital screens are replacing analog gauges in many modern cars, yet the dashboard design is still really influenced by those old gauges. A lot of automakers have figured out cool ways to use screens, but why not start from scratch and build the dash around the screen?

Alrighty, friend, how do you accomplish this with a July birthday? My kid's starting kindergarten this fall, so I'm preparing about 17 months in advance for this turning-6 birthday. I suppose the 2 month out invite rule would put that at the beginning of May, so that's not too bad, but how do you follow up with the…
