All you need to do is knock over that first one and the rest will follow in quick succession (we hope...)

The way to watch him is to look up ‘Peter Serafinowicz’ on Youtube. He takes the speeches and says exactly the same words but in different voices. ‘Sassy Trump’, with the Charles Nelson Reilly-esque voice, has to be the best.

And one in New York as well.

Needs moar E24 (overkill warning...)

Going off the track isn’t really the issue, but gaining position by going off the track is. Like all referees, some infractions may not be caught, but this one was pretty obvious.

‘Sporty appearance’ - yeah, it’s the second word that’s the problem. This is how you make a sporty minivan:

Call it odd, but I’ve always liked minivans. Back in college I even traded in my Rabbit GTI for a Vanagon, and I wish I still had that van. Then, like now, I was childless (to the best of my knowledge...), and I just prefer the practicality that only a minivan can provide.

At least we know whose truck it is. I’m still trying to figure out what these guys possess. Every time I drive by I keep asking myself Pretzel Boy’s what?

At one point I put a stereo with a big LCD screen into my Mazda5, but within a week yanked it out and put the stock unit back in. Like the climate control system, I love having big-ass knobs and dials on these systems so that I don’t need to look down. Combined with the high-mounted LCD at the top of the dash for…

Reverse rake on back windows. It just makes things look heavy and awkward. Yes, it is distinctive, but not in a good way...

They already have such a thing - it’s called a Jaguar. Who’s next - GMC?

After 5 years away I visited my folks down in SoCal a couple of weeks ago. I was stunned at the sheer quantity of electric vehicles in the road. I’ve seen a dozen or so Teslas here in STL, but it felt like every other car out there was a Model S. Add in all of the Bolts, i3s and i8s and it was electric car heaven.

I’ve never liked this design, and even with a bit of nostalgia for the ‘70s that’s becoming so common now I still don’t like it. The next version, especially in hatchback form, was much more attractive. A neighbor had one and I lusted after the overhead console and all of those gauges on the instrument panel, unlike…

5. The only thing the guy in the Camry cares about is that the recirculation system works in his car so he doesn’t have to breathe in all of that ‘freedom’ emanating from the exhaust of those classics.

Forget about putting Ferrari badges on it. Leave the ones from the donor Toyota and have a little fun. But at $25K? No thanks...

This happens in the commercial aviation industry all the time. You want more range? Give the manufacturer a bunch of money and they give you some new placards and manual pages - no structural modifications required. Why pay for capability that you don’t need/want?

Well, a well-known speed trap town near me offered to reduce my speeding ticket to a noise violation. They don’t really care how they extract cash from you, as long as they get their grubby mitts on your cash. In this case I would have been a fool not to accept the noise violation ticket.

Mine are from an E39, but are mounted on an E34. They’re not hub-centric on this vehicle, but came with some cheap plastic rings to center them; I really should get some metal ones.

I have 17" style 32s on the 525i and I will say that they’re easier to clean than the 13" Alpinas on the 320i. Easier, but not easy.

Until you have to clean them...
