What the fuck is this, a submarine? Why are the windows so damn tiny?

Because W221 Mercedes S-Class.

I like it, but...howbout this: 4Runner Limited V8. Range Rover comfort and capability without the Range Rover depreciation, reliability problems, expensive repairs, and brand snobbery.

1999 Nissan Stagea 260RS. It has a RB26DETT, 5spd manual, all the benefits of a wagon with the goods of a R34 GTR. They are asking $20, 900 but I think they accept $20 000. “Honey, I got a wagon. A sensible family car.” I live Canada, sorry USA 9 more years.

2007 Lexus IS 250 AWD

Ah, the “myth” of Highway 1 from San Luis Obispo to Carmel. Wide-open sweepers, beautiful views, etc.

I70 through Kansas

430 lbs wet, while light for an adventure bike, is still a hefty bike for off road. For perspective, the 690 Enduro is 315 lbs dry so probably 330ish wet. My XR650R is 280 dry, and it is a desert bike. It is a handful out in the woods. My XR200 is 225ish lbs and it is a night and day difference in the dirt. My…

Well, there goes my whole “Simmons to Deadspin” wish.

Not long ago, I was stuck behind a vintage Cadillac convertible in a left turn lane.

While true, that it all needs to be transported, that transport is in bulk, before it sees a blast furnace. In absolutely huge bulk, actually. It’s transport by rail or ship mostly, after the steel mill, to get to the car plants.

These guys are ultimate douchebags. I love that being a “man” has come down to owning a truck, pretending to have a hard ass persona, and showcasing your self indulgence. I work on these “rigs” at the shop I’m employed at and these bro diesel owners have the most abrasive personalities. They are the types of guys that…

I’d like to point out that building new cars causes a huge amount of pollution, and as a result, keeping an old car longer has its own, less obvious, environmental benefits.

Anyone who rides a motorcycle, drives a convertible or drives with their windows down can confirm this. It is amazing that now in this age of clean(er) cars how you can tell “OK....there is a classic car ahead of me somewhere” just from the smell. Younger people may not recognize the odors, but guys who’ve been around…

Jason, you should replace “cars” with “vehicles” in the headline, because the study looked at all. And heavy trucks are much more responsible for some types of emissions (carbon soot, e.g.) than passenger cars. The linked study says as much.

Right? And volcanoes - those should be included, too. And flatulence from the cows that the drivers wind up eating at Burger King.

Fuck rolling coal idiots.

Unions are a big reason why workers don’t get fucked over as bad in the U.S. as they do in Mexico.

off the top of my head...
