I’m down!

(It’s worth noting that they’re very happy with the Accord)

Okay, so David, these folks had every reasonable reason to kick you and your Jeeps to the curb. So, instead, they invite you over to have fried chicken and offer you their own back yard for hooning.

Do dry (no booze allowed) countries have a version of “hold my beer” before they do something stupid?

The line from LA to SF? You mean the one that is wildly behind schedule, billions of dollars over budget and was supposed to have the easy central valley line open last year but has yet to lay a mile of track? Goodness, they haven’t even secured the right-of-ways for the first segment yet and at the rate they are…

The infrastructure necessary for bullet trains isn’t cost effective in NA.

Do people hate bullet trains? Is that a thing?

Don’t forget the Onion Rings!

At least in Europe they have both Seat (affordable and sporty) and Skoda (affordable and practical) below VW.
