I was one of those Q3 Chevy sales and literally just got back from the ‘chip later’ portion of it.  Just had the heated seat module installed, about 1.5 hours at the dealer.  Perfect timing, just about to get the first real cold snap up here.

Totally agreed. My early 00s Volvo XC70 was honestly a better “truck” than most actual trucks because I could easily fit 8' boards in the back of it. My buddy’s Tacoma can’t even fit a bike flat in the bed without taking a wheel off, which was a feat easily accomplished by my old RSX of all things.

I finally replaced my flat roof last year, and the difference between “layers upon layers of black tarpaper and rubber” and “half inch insulation, rubber layer, silver paint” was ENORMOUS. Easily a 15 degree drop in the summer time.

Just last weekend my local TV stations were blasting Ridgeline ads all over the airwaves and also during the college football game on the ABC station.

I have been looking for a Veloster N, and there are only like 5 new ones in the whole country that are a stick shift........and all are nearly 40 grand.  Slim pickings is an understatement.

Fuel in the oil will burn off once it’s up to temperature. Seeing fuel in the oil just means that the car was run for a few short drives. I’ve had oil analyses come back with fuel in the oil, but it was because I just started the car up to drive on the ramps and drain the oil. Same vehicle on the next change I parked…

When you share a car with someone that is a foot shorter than you, you’ll appreciate the power seat with memory function.

Touch Screens.

Annnd you beat me to it.

I’m having a hard time thinking of a spikey punchline.

Those are easy cars to out-idiot—a ‘69 Charger makes your choices look absolutely sane:

“...also came with smaller 18-inch wheels compared to the rest of the lineup”

You picked the wrong modern Aston. The answer is DB9.

The Jaguar XJ220:

It’s a shame that the 3.0L OM642 wasn’t available in the US in the 300/Magnum as it was in Europe. My husband had an E350 Bluetec with that engine in it, and it was a plenty poweful and quick diesel. Routinely got 35+ mpg on the freeway, a few times touching over 40. I’d love to have that in an LX wagon. 

Heated Steering Wheel

Easily, current one was 306 and dynos around 320.
