When you thought you were stealing a Mustang...

This one. I got this as a rental when my car was in an accident. I drove it to work about 45 minutes away. When I came home, my then girlfriend asked me where the car was. I said, what car? It was so unremarkable that I forgot that I drove it to work and I took bus home. So why do I remember it now? It’s because it…

None. Same processed they used for removing barriers to drive on a closed road.

4 inches (or less) created the demand for the taller hoods in the first place.

I take a belt grinder to them while you sleep. Also, I surreptitiously hem your pants.

I have a 2006 CRV, albeit with an auto. It’s not a penalty box, but it is a box on wheels. It is slow, handles tippily, and gets mediocre gas mileage. In no way is it an enthusiasts car. I have to admit, it makes a decent sound under full throttle.

I agree there is something off about his look, and say what you will about his “product” by all accounts of people that actually know him he is a really nice guy.

Counterpoint. It won't last forever, it just seems like forever.

Ah, thank you, lol. This was not explained at all, and I kinda forgot that The The Ferrari is hybrid, so I thought 12k sounded high for a 12V battery, but I’m too poor to own a Ferrari so I thought maybe I was just wrong.

That gen Taurus wagon? Hell No.

Not hard hitting reporting, but the math is revealing.

Yet people wait in line to buy a 4Runner which hasn’t has a major redesign in 57 years. Admittedly it is arguably the most reliable vehicle you can buy but talk about overdue for an update...

It’s amazing how Nissan took something with such promise and just destroyed it. It’s probably been a clean 15 years since they had anything remotely interesting in their lineup. Cars like the Q45 weren’t perfect by any means, but they were like the sporty BMW counterpoint to the more Mercedes-like Lexus. Ditto for the…

Infiniti is such a sad, sad brand. When the G35 debuted, it was a great car and legit sports sedan competitor to the class-leading 3-series and it improved its luxury chops after the 2007 refresh. I came close to purchasing a 2005 sport and a 2009 6MT later on and always enjoyed the idea of a competent, 6-cylinder…

Hybrid Camry.  Completely cromulent.

Ford Maverick Hybrid. Now I realize that it might not be as bullet-proof as a Prius, but combine the amazing MPGs, the utility of the bed and the room for 5 passengers, and you have something that will be useful for just about anything. And because it’s inexpensive and built with a lot of common Ford components fixing…

If I’m a passenger, it probably means my wife is driving.  

I was an automotive engineer at the time this test was being developed. I worked for a major automotive company in R&D and specifically in doors.

The Focus ST wasn’t a track day car in stock form, but it was (and still is) a killer autocross car. In 2017 Focuses took 7 of the top 10 spots in G street, beating out its contemporary GTI, Mini, and Civic SI competitors. Even in 2023, on a platform that’s two decades old and going up against the latest GTI and Civic…
