(Apparent lack of) personal taste aside, what bugs me the most about this is the fact that the steering wheel has been replaced with a “racing” wheel that provides no air bag, compromising the safety of the car on the road.

I dunno, man. Seems pretty spot on to me. My top result was a Chevrolet Sonic LT hatchback and that’s the exact car that I drive now (mine is a 2013).  But I’d never be caught dead owning a Toyota Corolla, though. And the Dodge Dart is nice enough I guess. I looked at a couple Darts when they came out but ended up…

I was playing Mario Kart 8 the other day and I thought to myself, “it would be really neat if I could use this as a Steam Big Picture device so I could play PC games.” All I really need to do is replace the Raspberry Pi with an x86 device so I can run SteamOS instead.

My parents bought a brand new 1990 Plymouth Voyager. We drove the hell out of that thing. Only had to put three new transmissions in it over its lifetime. Ended up trading it in around 2003. That’s the car I learned to drive on (circa 1999). I miss it but now they have a 2013 Dodge Caravan that’s a lot nicer by…

I’m not surprised Ice Mountain didn’t make your list but they do offer a line of sparkling waters as well. The Raspberry Lime is quite good. The Black Cherry tastes like battery acid and the Lemon smells like Pledge. But seriously, try the Raspberry Lime.

True story. I never even bothered to follow up with security to see if I was doing something wrong or if they were just ignorant; I just tossed the little slip of paper and kept parking there. If I had to speculate, I would think that some security guard was just unaware of Eagle being a Chrysler brand. I wonder how…

I worked at CTC for two years and got several “violations” for parking my 1992 Eagle Talon in the “Chrysler vehicles only” parking lot.

Is it okay if I live in the Metro Detroit area? And that I grew up around classic cars? And that I worked at a dealership that sold Ferraris and Astons and Jaaaaags? And that I insist on only driving a manual despite their ever-fading presence in America? And that I named my first child after Doug DeMuro? Only one of…

I hope this is meant to be satire because you, sir, are clearly off your rocker and/or meds. You’ve been hanging out with these millenials too long. Next you’ll be telling us that we should all share leases (or not) and that driverless cars are the way of the future. Nope. Nope. Nope.

My suspicion all along had been that Evans and LeBlanc would step down after they had foisted the other hosts onto the public. I did not like Shouty McEvans on Top Gear. He’s probably good at what he does elsewhere (at least I hope) but shouting at a camera on television ain’t it. I hope that Grumpy Joey gets better…

I too found myself realizing that Top Gear US is now my favorite motoring program on TV. The thing about Top Gear US is that they got that “three blokes mucking about” formula right. This new Top Gear UK does not achieve that. Let’s hope that it does, otherwise I will not miss it when it’s gone.

Started a playthrough of BioShock Infinite on 1999 Mode last weekend that I intend to finish. I was reinspired by this recent article: Being Named “BioShock Infinite” Is BioShock Infinite’s Greatest Mistake. I forgot how awesome this game was. I’m getting my ass kicked in 1999 Mode and I’m still loving it every…

My 2012 Chevy Cruze and 2013 Chevy Sonic both have electric steering and I’ve nary an issue with the steering feel. I wonder if that’s something that’s “improved” in recent models.
