Your truck is for muddy boots; it is for beer runs and cigarettes; it is for hauling mulch; it is for going slow; it is for towing your shitty trailer, with the finicky tail lights; it is for going to pick up parts; it is for windows-down, no air-conditioning; it is for throwing your crap in the back and getting

The new Civic looks great... especially the interior. The new Accord does not. The 2017 Accord Sport was a great looking car, especially in red with the 19" wheels.

Did this really have many advantages over a typical minivan like a Pacifica, Sienna, or Odyssey? From an outsider, it seems it was just ever so slightly smaller, not close to as nice/refined, and not really that much cheaper. Looking at every other market segment, that doesn’t seem to be a winning combination.

I don’t know if I can wait that long. My slammed, mismatched tire shod, muffler deleted G35 coupe has been making some odd noises lately.

i never thought i’d think making a bmw look more like a dodge would be an improvement, but here we are.

“It’s definitely got a face that might turn people off” buddy compared to its stablemates it’s BMW’s fucking Mona Lisa

If this had apple carplay and android auto I bet they’d sell a shit ton at $150.

Man, I saw the preview image, assumed it’d be a hatchback sedan like the Stinger, and thought “Maybe this would work for me” - a comfortable vehicle for four adults but with the immense practicality of a hatchback with folding seats when you need it.

Fuck Texas. Fuck cops. Fuck that Jeep guy. Charges should be more serious than a misdemeanor. He could have killed the cyclist. No, you don’t fucking joke around like that.

Stellantis may have to farm out the Aventador production.

I don’t want to be this guy, but it’s time to be this guy: LS swap it.

Hertz is trying to imitate Enterprise but getting some of the details wrong:

I can sense a new Ad campaign:

The more I read about these stories, the more I wish Hertz didn’t survive bankruptcy.

I can offer one possible explanation:

Hah! No! Ironically, I have COVID now and have a bit of the COVID Brain. I worked back the layoff date based on thinking it was still 2021 and neglected to cross check the result.

Is a base 911 worth as much as a Cayman GT4 ($101,200 for both)? That’s the real question IMO.

Given the recent stupid furor the Commentariat Right made about the Brass Against singer, that end credit music made me laugh.

That is precisely why I end up loving (some) of their films as much as I do, personally. Because while I will fully admit that the Wachowski’s have missed as often if not more than they hit, they are absolutely swinging for the fences every time.

Thanks for a pretty fascinating read on the commute!
