Good moment to recommend Dan Simmons excellent book “the Terror”. Tells a fictionalized version of the story with a bit of horror. Amazing read in a tent in winter skitour <3.

Pretty much anything BMW but this one takes the crown

The Mercedes-Benz EQS

White Tesla Model Y. The darker colors are only homely. But the white is hideous.

It’s the entire BMW model line. Some are worse than others but they are not selling a single model that I would describe as beautiful. The BEST of the current bunch are the M5 and 8 series Gran Coupe and even those two are not as pretty as their competitors, and far less attractive than their predecessors.

I’ll pile on to the BMW hate, with the 4 series / i4 / M3 & M4. They are so intensely ugly that an M3 went from being a next-promotion buy for me to a never-happening car.

Hopping on the band wagon. My god this this is so ugly even black can’t hide it. Some consumer looked at this and said “I don’t want an S-class, I’ll take this”! It looks like if predator and Velma from scooby doo had a kid, and that kid can never find his glasses.

Since the obvious answer of “nearly every BMW” is taken, I’ll submit Chevy’s trucks:

Beaver-Bimmer all day long. It’s even worse in person. Even the stock photo model guy is kind of embarrassed.

I’d go with the one that was so bad it killed Ford’s smaller car prospects in the US, despite being an otherwise solid car.

The infamous Ford DCT used in the automatic Fiesta and Focus models.

Volvo always has cool little Easter eggs like this. In the current XC90 for example, if you open the storage compartment beside the third row, the have a spider and spider web cast into the under-side of the lid. Gotta love their sense of humor! 

I mean, boomers also need something taller because they can’t bend down like they used to. I also don’t get the hate for compact CUVs. Yes, to you and I they are silly, and we would much rather have the basic hatchbacks on which they’re based, but it beats having a population running around in extra-long Expeditions…

Once people have an SUV people hate getting out of cars. My girlfriend is insanely fit (literally works out 20 hours a week) and hates getting out of my hatchback that isn’t even lowered. She owned an WRX two years ago but now that she has a CUV she likes the lateral move to get in the car instead of the up and down.

Huge pickups that will never have anything in the bed. The dudes who buy these are insecure people who are overcompensating by trying to buy their perception of masculinity. Why does it bother me? Because they also drive like 14-year-old bullies who were thrown a set of keys by their drunk old-man. But hey, maybe they…

The near hour long drive in the wrong direction on an unfamiliar motorway caused by my partners inability to read maps, where to only entertainment was the increasingly acrimonious discussion from the back seat as to whether “wiver” was an acceptable answer to “I spy with my little eye something beginning with R” (The…

It’s okay, according to our Supreme Court, this jackass is a “well regulated militia”. Freedom upheld!

I assume my staff will handle this, it’s what they are paid to do. 

Well I haven’t heard anything yet but I’ll keep my phone off silent for a while.

I give you, I get my news off Facebook guy.
