Somehow I thought an article that started with the words “Electric Cars” would be about electric cars. I guess not enough people would read the article if it just mentioned tires and brake pads?

To be fair to them, if they’re staying at a different hotel every few days for 20+ days a month, I’m sure it’s brutal. Living out of a suitcase for a living is it’s own sort of battle.

1955 Mercedes 300SLR #722. Yes because of the history and yes because of the performance/sound but also for the pedal arrangement. Only after sitting in #704 a few years ago did I realize there’s about a foot gap between the clutch and brake pedals as the driver has to straddle a pretty sizable bell housing. Would…

He couldn’t out-German the Germans, but maybe he can take VW down market and out-Korean the Americans.

Thank you for pointing out that our president tweets on things he’s uneducated about.

First impression: Grille.

It’s a Jeep thing, you wouldn’t understand.

CPO A6 2.0T, E300 4Matic, 528i xDrive, S90 Volvo, etc. Midsize luxury sedans have huge depreciation, are way more reliable than they used to be, and blend right into the jet set crowd.

I suggest a new number. 45 is already reserved for indicating failure, being the worst, and complete incompetence.

Why are we shouting that Tesla “let” the driver do anything?

I find rental car lots to be a great measuring stick for how a manufacturer is doing. Note I rent almost every other week for work using National. The more I see a certain model on the lot, the worse I know it’s selling on the private market and lately I’ve seen a lot of Wranglers pop up on the lots. Great for me as I…
