This is what happens when engineers are allowed to run amok (and I’m an automotive engineer). Clearly, no one did FMEA nor cost-benefit on this.

And yet it’s probably been an unknown scourge for Honda dealerships and owners everywhere trying to understand why “the cubby door jams every time I park in my inclined drive” and/or “there’s this weird clunk from the dash whenever I gas it or climb a hill or hit certain bumps in the road”.

You’d have to be on a pretty steep hill, and parking on a hill would lock your valuables away.

Would have been more hilarious if you showed up to the wrong house 4 hours later and then decided to look up where you were.

Google Maps has got a lot better. The days of fire access roads are long gone. Which is boring because I always took it as a challenge.

I’d buy exactly one used VW Phaeton, preferably with low miles. I’d have enough left over for gas after all the repairs and maintenance were done. But, I’d be happy!

Buy a dirty VW TDI and troll both the environmentalists as well as those of us who sold ours to get the money. Nothing says “I’m rich” like not caring about anyone or anything. Plus you’ll get great fuel mileage!

Obviously you should buy FCA. I mean it’s the smart choice that you should definitely make.

That sounds like forecasting next year’s weather, with as much likely accuracy.

FCA is forecasting Jeep’s annual sales to jump about 30 percent next year to 2 million vehicles and predicts the brand could eventually deliver 7 million units a year as appetite for SUVs surges worldwide, CEO Sergio Marchionne has told analysts

VW: We’re bored. What other regulations can we cheat on?

...like if Daft Punk went to Wimbeldon.

*Goes to cross ‘Calgary’ off the list.*
