I stand corrected. Its shift logic is even more confusing, then.

That generation of the 6 really did suck. It was just a worse Camry.

Most recently, a Mazda CX-50. Had one as a rental on a recent trip, and as a big Mazda fan, I was genuinely excited to spend a few days with one. I came away disappointed. Maybe my expectations were too high. First, the base engine is a dog and made accelerating to match the speed of traffic or overtaking a risky…

Moved on it like a bitch and grabbed it by the wing flaps. When you’re a star, they let your plane do anything.

Not at all surprised to see the HR-V on this list. Had one as a rental several months ago and was shocked by how slow it was to gather any amount of appreciable speed. The Mazda CX-50 I had a few weeks ago also clocks 0-60 at 8.5 seconds with the base engine. I really wanted to like it, but realized less than a mile…

Cooled, ventilated seats. The first time I experienced them, I felt like someone who lived ages ago and saw television for the first time. Add a massage function and it’s like seeing the jump from black and white to color TV.

Tracks with me. I thought about the 787B, but it really didn’t look that different from many of of the Lola chassis cars being run at the time. At least the Furai is a wholly unique design.

The 250 GT Drogo has always been one of my favorites.

This hurts, but I have to vote ND. These are probably in my top 5 favorite Volvos, but $22k is a lot to chew for a car that is probably going to be a constant headache. R-Series Volvos of this generation become crazy temperamental upon reaching the right combination of age + mileage. For whatever reason, older Volvos,…

Louisville - home to Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant. Everyone here thinks they are propping up the local economy by buying F-150 and Super Duty trucks (even though the F-150 isn’t even made here). Plan on going somewhere? You’d better buffer in time for someone in an oversized truck to run through their five-minute…

Of course. An even bigger asshole with two Cybertrucks.

I was ready to shit all over this guy’s take, but the grade school presentation flip charts with multiple misspellings really pulled it all together for me.

That’s a nasty truck bite. Only one option now - he must be hunted and put down before he turns.

I’m not mad about what they did to a Miata. It’s unique, though the hood vents go a long way towards ruining it. $14k is laughable though. Sometimes, you just have to live with the monster you create.

It’s not about the fruit, it’s about having the money to throw away on disgusting displays of excess and frivolity. If those plates were only $20, they would rot before many well-heeled rich persons would even touch them. Also, so they don’t have to rub elbows with the poors.

I think time has been kinder to them compared to how poorly they were initially received. I recall most outlets at the time giving them poor marks across the board, then soon earning a black eye as the “official” car of Red Bull giveaway girls.

We all know how badly he wants to. But hey, at least the gene pool might get a little cleaner.

I know that one of the things its programmed to look for are head & tail lights, so there is apparently some kind of specular flare happening under very specific conditions which fools the system into thinking another vehicle is within collision distance. The problem resolves itself after the sun cycle at that one inte…

The City Safe feature in my wife’s Volvo s60, which will trigger a false positive for what it thinks is a pending collision, but only at a very specific intersection and during a very specific time of day. My wife will get up early some mornings to head out for an early workout before starting her workday. At one…

In high school, I had a friend whose mom drove a bright yellow GT with a stick and his dad had a DeLorean, though it never left the garage. I don’t even know if it ran. At the time, I just viewed them as two turds of failed sports cars. There are so many things I hate about my younger self. Hold your head high. The GT…
