I was born in this area, left for New York, then transplanted to the west coast for many years before coming back to Louisville. I remember as a kid, everyone joked on Indiana drivers for being so slow (I’ll mostly attribute to that to learned behavior, because Indiana State Police do NOT mess around) but my last

Hey neighbor! We really are the worst. Half of our population drives like they own the road, while the other half drives in fear. The results are reflected in our insurance rates. I couldn’t take having to cross our bridges everyday. I will do everything in my power to avoid traveling to Indiana because it just ruins

Neck-tat truck guy is from Indiana. Your assessment isn’t entirely wrong, but don’t put him on us!

They were disabled/stopped from a previous collision. Branham dipped into that tiny gap between them in an attempt to overtake and gain maybe 1 second of time, then swung wide into the oncoming lane. Witnesses reported him driving recklessly and nearly causing other collisions before approaching the accident scene as

Louisville resident here. They need to make an example of this guy. He was weaving in and out of traffic and driving like an asshole on a bridge that just barely supports 2 lanes of traffic in both directions. This has become standard behavior for people who don’t want to pay for the toll bridge and can’t manage their

Hey Volvo. Big fan, but can we talk about buttons? If you could just give us at least 25% of this, I’d love you more.

Fiat 124 Spider might fit into that $15k sweet spot. I know, it plays second fiddle to the Miata but sometimes different is good, right?

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.
