I have about a five mile commute, and I live where there’s over 300 days of sunshine per year. Financially I could probably even swing a mid-range model, but if I’m spending that much on a car I’m parking it where it’s safe...in the garage.

Never thought about it before, but I guess the Nomex suit is probably pee-proof as well. Man, I hope Grosjean has a good next race

I realized that at some point in my life an old white dude in a 911 with a young blonde went from being “pathetic” to “my hero”

I used to make fun of old white men looking to recapture their youth...until I became one.

When I was young and stupid I really thought about a Fiero because it was WAAAAY more reliable than what I was driving. Oddly, to this day I’ve never even driven one.

Did you ever see that show Trading Spaces? It’s like that, but instead of jacking up your neighbor’s house with someone else’s money it’s all yours...your car, your time, your money.  Professionals are called that for a reason.

Exactly. I could see paying this much dough for A van, and I could see myself driving THIS van, but there’s a huuuuuge void in between those statements.

Justifiable homicide. With a hammer.

I assume he said “99 percent” because some car journalists don’t own a car.

My first car, a ‘73 (I think) VW Type 3 fastback went through voltage regulators like some people go through Q-Tips. My mechanic was just throwing new parts at it to try to solve the issue but the car rotted away before it was ever solved.

The double helix works best on Colorado plates...ski tracks!

Focus group: “we want an electric car that doesn’t look like an electric car”

I don’t want to have to go out and buy a Monster Energy hat.

I rented a convertible LeBaron just like that on a trip to the Florida Keys. The very first thing I noticed was the seatbelt prong thing was laced backwards onto the actual belt so it needed to be twisted to work. I remember thinking “if they can’t get THAT right...”

There must be a conversion chart somewhere, because Canada uses metric years.

I thought the MKT was a good choice, but then I saw one on the road yesterday and thought it looked like a hearse.  Still, I don’t know this guy’s relationship with his parents...

Must have been raining 

Used Volkswagen?  CP.

My parents had a big passenger van when I was in high school, and one day I got a call from my friend’s sister. The entire cheerleading squad needed a ride to the game. I could barely steer, and the brakes were pretty much useless, but I got them there, and a kiss on the cheek from one of them.  BEST DAY EVER.

I just sold our extended E-150. Daughter going to college and more than the wife and I needed for just the two of us, but dang...still stings.
