I started to write “Every time I see a Ford Maverick in the wild I think to myself ‘That’s the same as a fullsize in 1990'”. But that’s wrong, because I legit didn’t know the Maverick and the Ranger are totally different trucks. The Ranger is a full-size, the Maverick is closer to what a Ranger was in the 1990s.

I think the Michelin Crossclimates beat the continentals in everything but price and dry weather handling. You almost can’t go wrong with Michelin tires. 

This is smart and makes perfect sense for a niche manufacturer with good bones like Lucid. 

My go-to tire is the Continental Extreme contact DWS for anything outside of a dedicated snow tire.

I fled.

Did you get it with the habanero interior, because that would be rad.

I grew up in Texarkana. The gun was indubitably real. 

USAID was a form of soft power not unlike the diplomatic services. It was the US doing things that were, at first glance, “merely” charity and aid, but also gave us a lot of less obvious benefits. Once again, we shoot ourselves in the foot for short-term gain, but long-term losses. The world is more chaotic and less…

Oh, phew. That first pic was throwing me off. That copper color is awesome though. I really wish more automakers would offer it. I thought the C8 corvette looked strangely great in brown. I also have a weird fetish for brown 911s.

You’re right, I went back and the real number was 72,325, I still can’t find one anywhere near that price. It’s all 15K higher.

Fox body Ford Mustang. But here’s the weird part: it was the SVO.

Finding out this is supposed to be an Alfa suddenly makes this car make sense. 

Beer?

Do we not need to concern ourselves with the sidewall flexing too much during travel causing them fail?

Miata?

I had the petrol version of this car as the kid-hauler and it was one of the best vehicles I’ve ever owned. I drove it to 142K and other than replacing some wheel speed sensors, that thing was reliable as hell, comfortable as hell, and MB-Tex is maybe the greatest interior material ever devised. It’s impervious to…

Not necessarily the Roxor. I just think they went off course when they drifted away from the YJ and TJ formula. A 2 door Jeep Wrangler should not cost $38,000 and be saddled with a subpar minivan engine and a bunch of added on electronics for detecting a lane departure, monitoring tire pressure, adjusting rain-sensing…

I say go the opposite direction. Get back to its roots. Simple slow farm implement. Easy to work on. 

Unless you put that engine in a Lotus and slap a supercharger on top of it. Then...

Well, that just, like, your opinion, man.
