The whole infotainment stack is just silly to me. Hello, don’t we all have phones already? Fire up my Spotify driving mix and go.

And that is the ONLY misgiving I have about this car: parts. The engine’s core mechanicals are easy enough to come by but the Miller Cycle goddamn splash ad blocked out the entire screen while I was typing fuck this place.

Lucid needs to stop making its case and start making more cars. Its presence in the market is so tenuous I’m barely cognizant of it as a manufacturer. I thought they were still in the It’s All Prototypes But Any Minute Now stage. Like Lordstown but with a slightly weaker whiff of BS.

I have to ask, if the thing is called “Excursion,” why are there so many features designed to entice you to never get out of the car?

This is one of those cases where “eminently forgettable” is totally okay. Like a Camry, like an ES300, the Millenia is a bit like Clark Kent. If you’re in the know, you know there’s a lot going on under that plain suit and affordable haircut. And everybody else, the ones who aren’t in the know, see just another guy on…

1st gear: carburetors and stick shifts. The only chips you really need are in a bag marked Fritos.

The difficulty here is determining whether they were pumping and dumping, or reading the various reports that we don’t see, understanding what it all meant, and dumping.

Why do there need to be a lot of updates? If it works and sells, “build it and they will come.”

“Random.”

Paging the SEC! Call for the SEC!

With my bad self? FUNKY

As much as I hate the PT Loser in all its forms, this one is clean, presents well and has attractive features to help distract you from the fact that it’s a PT.

You want funky? YOU WANT FUNKY?

How heavy are those in-wheel motors? I haven’t heard much about Lordstown at all and couldn’t be moved to investigate them because they had the whiff of manure around them as soon as Trump started shilling for them.

Just push the flush lever already, and have the plunger ready in case it won’t stay gone.

Jesus. The 650T was my fantasy bike back in the day. THE bike, nothing higher. Ne Plus Ultra.

I can smell cigarette smoke 100 yards away, and weed smoke even farther. I smell cigarette smoke in moving traffic from the car in front of the one in front of me.

“We’re Number 2, and that Hertz.”

At that price he’d better be in a hurry to sell because I guarantee someone will be in a hurry to buy.
