I was there back in 2014 with my wife and we stopped by to check out Mt Aso on the way back from the onsen. Really freaky to see this video of it blowing up, from right by where we saw it from.

Between this, the earthquake of 2016, and the floods last year, Kumamoto prefecture is starting to look like a hazardous place!

A couple weeks back I was driving and saw a bright green Ford Puma zip by on the opposite side of the freeway. Made me do a double-take. I’m not sure what it was doing in Michigan, but I wonder if they’re considering bring it over?

I’m not really into CUVs in general, but that paint color was awesome.

My dad got me into cars from a young age. We went to the Detroit Auto Show every year from when I was four years old until high school, took a few years off when I went through a not-as-into-cars phase in my teens, then recommenced that tradition in my 20s and 30s. My last NAIAS with him was in 2019, for obvious…

It looks to me like they Loki messed up the color scheme....

(Joking aside, this is a nice shade of blue.)

I’m 40, so I guess I’m in a weird in-between time where my body is telling me that I’m old, but my mind refuses to believe it. Yeah, I think people like you and I were probably born a bit too late. Also, a lot of the pop culture I love most is stuff from within ten years of when I was born, and I appreciate older…

This sucks. I’d love to own a Volvo wagon someday, but they are way too pricey for me. Hopefully there will be a nice used one waiting for me when I eventually need to replace my hatchback.

More and more I feel like the world of automobiles (at least in the US) is leaving me behind. Wagons, hatchbacks, sedans, coupes,…

Man.... I love that. Both versions. I miss the Cube.

Die cast cars. This is just what would fit in my little display corner. I have several boxes more of Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Tomica, Siku, Majorette, etc... I really have to pare down the collection one of these days.

I feel like this is one of an increasingly long list of reasons why I’ll put off buying a mid-late 2010s & up car for a while. (Screens replacing tactile knobs and buttons being the biggest reason.) I’m not against center consoles full-stop, but I don’t like them if they get so wide that it makes a mid-large car feel…

My wife does that a lot when we’re out and about, parked, and our baby son needs something. Super super handy. I’m on my first minivan and I don’t think I’ll be able to go back to using my compact hatchback as the daily driver anytime soon, now that I’ve experienced such pure utility.

Oh yes. That or the Brera is on my list after enough years have passed to import them stateside.

I lived in California for seven years, and I agree, it was stupidly expensive keep a car there, and San Francisco street parking was not kind to my vehicles. But oh how I miss getting out of the city and driving on those curvy and hilly roads, carving my way through beautiful landscapes, overlooking the ocean. In the…

“Renault’s Twingo exists in this world to spread delight”

I guess that’s why it’s not allowed to live on. We live in dark times and delight is at a deficit. RIP Twingo.

Saab’s been mentioned here already, but if I were a crazy multi-billionaire, I would bring it back. I’d have it based in Sweden, and I would step back from the luxury thing and just make solid, affordable, unique cars. I know there would have to be CUVs in the mix too, begrudgingly, but they would be unique CUVs.…

It’s too bad it’s only in the US. If it were for sale in France, it could be called... “LeSabre”.

I must have magically had a PS5 back in 2017, because I had one evening of spectacular shadow and texture glitches in what was otherwise a pretty glitch-free playthrough: video of it I posted on Instagram

I hope I am wrong about this, but I feel like Mazda’s quest to be “upmarket” is going to really hurt them. I come from a family of Mazda fans. I’ve had one for 13 years (and prior to that, two Ford products that were derived from Mazdas). My parents had six Mazda vehicles over the years. Very fond feelings. One of the…

I love the i3 as well. Even more so after my friend bought one and I got to take her car out for a spin. They look particularly good to me in white. Nice high-contrast look that makes them look kind of like a robot panda.

I will never be able to look at that grille without thinking of the giant irradiated naked mole rats from the Fallout games.

I’m usually very open to new and crazy designs, and like a lot of designs most people think are ugly, but these recent BMWs... Man, I just want them to make handsome, timeless designs again. Not…

Hi, I’m commenting from the future, and you’re going to like what happens in early November 2020.
