Automakers, just give me a slot to shove my phone into and stop trying to keep up with the tech companies.

Funny. But I fear people will take this seriously.

Power steering. My first car, 1989 Honda Civic DX, did not have power steering. In most cases, it wasn’t really that big of a deal. But when I had to maneuver in a tight spot or on the odd occasion when I had to parallel park, it was a pain in the ass. Now, even the cheapest of the cheap cars comes with power steering…

OK, serious response. I don’t know about M-B, but I know that with Mazda the screen placement was a driver-centric decision. They did it so you don’t have to take your eyes as far off the road in order to look at the screen. Know what else they did that was very smart? Took away the touch functions. That’s right, this…

Alrighty then. From someone with many known issues on my R53 (power steering pump replacement among other things) I salute you.

I truly hope that’s a commentary on all the maintenance nightmares and “known issues” due to poor engineering and not a commentary on the style of vehicle or any driver stereotypes.

There are quite a few second-gen MINI owners who may argue on the timing chain thing.

Here in the US we use, what I call, the bubble gum machine approach to obtaining one’s driver’s license. With bubblegum machines, you put your quarter in and get a brightly colored sphere of instantly tasteless bubblegum. Similar with driver’s licenses:

People would ask me that all the time when I drove the MINI. Just because it was small doesn’t mean it got good mileage. It had a supercharged iron lump that Daimler had cast off a decade ago. It was great fun to drive, but fuel economy was not its strong suit like the uninitiated thought.

Gimme my Chevy Tornado, NOAW!!!

Here’s the thing, if the BMW driver was in the back corner of the lot, he had NOT parked like a dick. Taking up two spots does not automatically make one an asshole. The person originating the asshole behavior was the truck driver, and he knew it. Now, it’s never OK to intentionally damage someone else’s car. BMW…

Yo, gimmy dat saw blade. Imma need it later.

Freedom!

I’d want them outfitted with PA systems and to play movies. Going to be stuck behind me for a few hours? Here, enjoy Finding Nemo.

That time Stelios lost his baguette.

Screw you, Travis! I like Patrick better anyway! Good luck!

I’ll take an Integra Select GS-R in red, please.

The last generation Buick Skylark. Just look at it. GM Badge Engineering at its worst.
