David, David, we love you, but you have serious problems with your vehicle fleet. Here is a perfect example of the symptoms of your disease.

This was the Fairmont 2 door sedan, not the Fairmont Futura coupe.  If I could find one of those in decent shape (or the Zephyr Z7) I’d be on it in an instant.

You bought her a car that you wanted for yourself.  This is a typical us Jalopniks problem.

I have yet to drive a vehicle (any vehicle) with an arm rest that actually supports my short arms and I’ve driven for more than 40 years.  If someone could design an armrest that actually allowed anyone’s arm to rest, I’d be shocked.

It just makes so much sense.  Why hasn’t every jurisdiction put this in place?

you’ve obviously never had quick heating seats.  I could feel those through the thickest parka you’ve ever seen.

I got them all, but only because I like Lincoln.

If I saw one of these in great shape I’d buy it. Sure, this was built during the malaise of downsizing when Henry Ford II still insisted on straight edges all the way around, but it probably handled a hundred times better than the giant T-birds of the 70's. It also led to the nice curvy Thunderbird of the later 80's…

Isn’t that a double negative so you’re actually saying great deal?

One thing you learn from your excellent column is that we Jalopniks are cheapskates if nothing else hence 3/4 of us don’t want this project.  Nice enough car, but No Dice!

I do think that eventually EV’s will work very well for these purposes, but we’re not quite there.  The problem that advocates have is that they will point to a best case scenario and say: “we did it! It’s ready!”  Once the vehicle is ready for the worst case scenario, people will adopt the technology in droves. 

I’m glad that at least the Koreans are still doing concept vehicles. Remember the good old days when all the car companies were showing us futures that might be, including all the flying cars? These concept cars allow us to dream and see which features we definitely don’t ever want in our futures, such as yokes and…

Thanks, I needed a bit of a laugh!

A better way would be to offer a sliding scale. Any EV under 30 000 with a minimum 60 mile range gets the full 12,5; any EV over 100 000 dollars gets zero. Hence you would incentivize getting the masses into EV’s.   

I now get why people don’t follow the advice of automotive journalists in the choosing of their next vehicles; your strengths lie elsewhere.  I love reading your stories and most of you guys write well and have interesting perspectives, but if Bjarne follows the advice of even one of you, I’ll sell my car.  I suspect…

This is another one of those not quite ready stories.  Yes it can do this one route in Alaska, but I’m sure that most routes in Alaska wouldn’t be within its capacity.  138 miles at normal temperatures and then using more than half its energy in keeping the bus warm means that it isn’t quite ready yet for this duty. …

This wasn’t worth 8900.00 when new and it certainly isn’t now.  No Dice!

Great take; I’ve been seeing these blips for a long time and this is one of the best!

It’s okay that no buyer is aware of the existence of the Bolt, half of the dealers don’t know about it neither.  On the other hand GM is so busy building batteries for the recall, they can’t ship any complete Bolts neither.

3800 pounds for a 2 series BMW is all I could stand reading. I don’t get it. It’s heavier than a 90's 5 series. This is supposed to be BMW playful small (and I mean small as in it doesn’t weigh a whole lot) car and it weighs 3800 pounds. No wonder the 4 cylinder isn’t sufficiently fun. No wonder the turbo 6 is the…
