The VW GX-3. So wonky and cool at the same time. 

Bullet Proof Glass shatters to absorb the energy of the projectile, preventing it from penetrating, while maintaining a barrier... vs usual automotive tempered glass which crumbles.

Which in the meantime just tells me that names don’t mean anything anymore. When I was a porter/detailer at a Chevy dealership 20 years ago Blazer meant SUV, and Trailblazer was a fancy trim package. Then Trailblazer was the name of the next gen Blazer, now Blazer is a unibody thingamajig bigger than the old Blazer Tra…

I get it. Sheeple want little SUVs. But. I don’t get Chevy’s approach to this. It’s like throw EVERY idea into production and see what will sell? The Equinox is (allegedly, based on what I hear on Metro Detroit radio and see on the road) the best selling small crossover/suv/whatever these days, this seems like an able…

You’re welcome, saplings shoot up in a season all over the place, you probably mow down a few dozen every spring taking your usual trail ride.

The fascinating thing about trees, is that they grow. 

Yea this makes NO sense. I played EVE off and on for a few years, and probably still would, but I digress. The big events in Vegas and Reykjavik were always highlights the general game populous would follow, closely, due to the new stuff and shenanigans. San Diego is just... whut?

I’ve only done one long weekend glamping in an RV, grew up old fashioned camping in a tent. Still wrapping my head around it but the 5th wheel makes more sense to me... but it’s nice having options!

So you can park it at the campground and drive into town.

Its grown on me. Plus I see how much stuff two sets of relatives pack in theirs, and it kinda makes me jelly.

I have a deep infatuation with Mazda’s design language right now, that gap at the hood overhang to the front grille just gets me. It’s kinda subtle on the CX-5 but they’ve exaggerated it here and its sublime!

Today I saw a new Supra in matte blue on my morning commute.

You can probably do it cheap using scrap leftover material, too!

Long Live the Derptron! 

1st Gear: I have yet to see ANY news article or commentary on this topic to address what I see as the elephant in the room.
Nothing is stopping auto makers from voluntarily exceeding the required emissions standards set by the EPA, or by California. They could look at this as an opportunity to one up each other and get…

Amen. I’ve argued the same before. They’re leaving marks like Fleetwood, Eldorado, Seville on the table but trying to follow the euro competitors in naming... people don’t buy those cars because of the name unless those names are M or AMG, which MEAN SOMETHING.
Cadillac’s old names meant something too, and should…

I have to wonder if this is the result of the brain drain at GM from the massive firings layoffs  buyouts purge of the old guard engineers in the last year?

This is the correct take. Cadillac is a ship without a rudder and it’s boneheaded moves need to be chastised with vitriol. The smarter move would have been to make an even more bat-shit crazy version, V+ or something, with a hybrid AWD system.

Dammit. They’re gonna suck me in (again) with another stupidly cheap lease on this, aren’t they? The ATS is on the small side but it does work...
