As a guy who is painstakingly trying to level and re-seed bald spots in my backyard right now, I’m about to cry. However, the enthusiast in me cries tears of joy. But I’m also a landlord, so we’re back to sad tears again. Cognitive Dissonance is a bitch.

it’s had a wee.

Raph,

Welp, I’ll be driving home from the bars drunk I guess. Since there are no all-electric environmentally-sensitive unionized 51% woman organically grown non-profit no animal testing car ride companies to choose from, and taxis in my city are next to impossible to get at 2 am, I must drive after my eight martini happy…

When can we stop using the term “Woke” ?

I bought one of these, with the CVT and the NA engine. Why? It’s a good car at a very good price. It hauls everything, it’s slow but the lower center of gravity makes it handle well enough for family-hauling. If I didn’t live in a place that gets a decent amount of snow I’d have considered the FWD CX-5, but the AWD…

“I don’t own or even like cars, but this car has seats and a steering wheel just like the 1973 Beetle my mom had when I was a kid. It’s fancier and faster, though, and I think that’s stupid.”

Lamborghini is recording this. Lamborghini is going to use a f*cking satellite to quantify the speed, acceleration, and…

Hey now! There are places where nice high-performance all seasons just work better. Here in Seattle it basically never snows (we all know all seasons don’t work in the snow) but its still too cold 6-8 months out of the year to get the most out of any summer compound since they all work much better when its 65+ degrees…

K&N stickers or any other CAI stickers, or anyone who brags about CAI.

So are dive-planes and front-splitters dumb on a RWD? Where downforce is helpful isn’t dictated by the drive-wheels. If you have a FWD car that has mid-corner oversteer issues, downforce at the back is helpful.

You know what? Fuck you guys, I want an R63 now.

When modern Diesels regenerate their DPF the exhaust is mad hot. Those tips pull in air via the Venturi effect to cool that shit down.

The every gear part is obviously BS, but an “Italian tuneup” is solid advice and especially useful on cars with direct injection.

This is 100% true...
