I was trolling online the other night for a new Nissan Z, and found a new Proto Edition (yellow with a manual) at a local North Austin Nissan dealer with a $19,999 markup. Nissan has enough trouble selling decent cars, when they finally make something I’m interested in their dealers shoot themselves in the foot with…

1. Title issues. Salvage title, open title, no title - No Sale. Saw a Mustang Bullett listed at a dealer in Houston for a smoking deal, and might have gone for it if I hadn’t seen that it had come from Florida after being totaled in the last hurricane...

Me too! 100% right down to the 2014 Focus with the manual!

I had a 2014 Focus hatch with the manual transmission. It was actually a really good car. Too bad it took the same massive depreciation hit as the automatic cars.

I have a binder for each of my cars. One car goes back to when it rolled off the lot...

Then there’s this guy who built his own:

You’re right. There are always more and bigger idiots to be on the lookout for. All you can do is try to be as prepared behind the wheel as possible.

My kids drove small cars as teens and still drive them as young adults. I don’t feel they’re more likely to die in them than in any other car. In part I feel this way because I took every effort to train them how to drive properly and re-enforce that with additional training through the SCCA Street Survival program.

Hate the new digital dash.

I didn’t even bother to hit play. While I’m interested in the subject since I own a Ford, I’m not so interested I want to watch a video when an article would have worked.

Why is this a video and not an article?

Andor isn’t a prequel to Rogue Squadron (which may never actually see the light of day). It’s a prequel to Rogue One, the prequel to Ep IV.

OK, I’ll agree on I70 west of Denver, I’ve driven it, but it’s a rare exception.

Anything on the US interstate highway system. Sure on the east coast there are things that can be seen from the highway, but anywhere else the highways run through the middle of nothing. If you just need to do some distance in a car, sure, that’s the way to go, but if you actually want to see America, get off of the…

I’m pretty easy, one wagon, one sports car... I’ll even stick with cars within 10 miles of my house...

the only cool car my dad ever owned was a ‘72 GTO, kind of like this one:

The best badge is no badge at all. I’ve always stripped all of the badges off of my cars. I get that some people then think it was in an accident and they were left off when repaired, but I prefer a clean badgeless look...

I give you the Volkswagen EV1, with a drag coeffecient of 0.159

I don’t have near miss stories. I have a dash cam.

Here’s a bicyclist I almost killed:

Bring back Ferguson!
