At Tesla, you don’t cut corners...corners cut YOU!

Sad to say, but the owner probably got the best possible outcome there —- insurance pays her to replace a vehicle that has terrifying depreciation. It’s the only way she’d ever get close to her money back. 

I actually like the look of the ZDX the most of any of the Ultium platform cars, but it’s so disappointing that Honda didn’t do more for the interior for this and the Prologue. The difference in layout and material quality between Honda’s modern interiors and GM’s is night and day.

i because apple uses it in their product names so “i” became synonymous with “high tech”

I don’t think it’s a NART thing at all. I thought it was more directly influenced by this particular 412P:

Autonomous Robotaxis- this is how much the US hates the idea of just improving public transit. Like, seriously, you could take a fraction of the amount of cash it will take to develop a functional autonomous taxi and just invest in improved public transit everywhere. Oh look, we’ve made buses and trains and trams and…

A busy bridge in Baltimore collapsed early Tuesday morning following a collision with a cargo ship.

Ford Canada has the Ranger Raptor starting at $80,000 CAD. Jesus. I’d have to buy it with the same mentality that I’d buy Porsche 718; “This is a toy. It’s an $80,000 high-performance toy.”

Now I’m super-curious about how you do “gas-powered church.”

Jalop checklist:

Every miata owner that responded so should be ashamed. Stop complaining, they’ll take it away. Were allowed to have one tiny convertible.

DON’T SPEAK IT INTO EXISTENCE

I remember that beating the starter with a metal bar was a legitimate way to get it to work again.

The start stop on Tundras shakes the crap out of you. It's actually jarring how bad it is. I hate it. I drove my mom's Hyundai and it was fine. I didn't hate it. It really comes down to how well the manufacturer executes it.

why not CX-789 ???

Clarkson has been a 70 year old man for the last 25 years.

Here’s what their marketing department has to say:

Ferrari F150. It doesn’t have a bed or 4x4.

I LOVE the Sportcross, came close to buying one a few times and still regret not picking one up years ago. They are hard to find now though. owners know how rare they are and want a huge premium over the sedans, especially for clean ones.
