Why not the middle ground and get a Veloster N? 

Or they have a brain and want to wrench with a car thats worth the time

THIS is where you prove your Jalop cred. Reasonable price for an interesting/amusing relic with relatively minor (for an Alfa) issues to deal with.

Andrew, this is great and all, but can we talk about the sideways vertical blinds you have as a sun shade? I feel like you’re burying the lede here.

Says the guy who wasn’t alive to experience the days when smog chocked American cities got so bad people literally thought there’d been a gas attack. Thank regulation for the clean air you breathe.

“most people on the left and right coasts have this ‘everything that annoys Trump is good’ attitude”

I’m surprised it’s taken this long. Vans (and pickups) have to be the easiest things to electrify, technically. They have large frames and lots of underfloor room for batteries, and you can’t get all crazy swoopy teardrop aerodynamics without hurting the function. So it’s literally bolting on batteries to an existing…

FALSE. Name any car that blends performance and efficiency as effectively as a Tesla does. They are by no means perfect, but they’re the best at making electric cars.

You want to trade some sportiness for even more space, you can actually get an RLX with reasonable miles under $20K:

It’s a good idea, and anyone who disagrees will be forced to drive a two-door 1972 Chrysler Newport with a 170 CID slant-6 and an automatic transmission everywhere, forever.

I’m 6'5” and I weigh 235lb. I’m going to go on record with liking the 3 door design. The bigger door opening for the driver is a win for me, making the rear seat more accessible on the other side is a win for my passengers.

Let’s test the depth of your hatred:

Great article, and provides a lot of good examples of why the AV dreams are so overblown. There are so many edge-use cases that would completely bewilder an AV that my mind boggles to imagine a world where they would even be remotely feasible outside of a controlled-access highway. How do you program an AV to approach…

This sounds awesome. 

It’s pervasive because it’s true. The traction imbalance, as the cruise control (which is pretty stupid in pre DBW cars) attempts to maintain speed, results in immediate yawing in the worst case. It will spin you around so fast you won’t know what hit you. And, the speed sensors might tip the ABS controller off that…

I feel like you are arguing semantics on generally good advice. Rainy conditions often require high variability in your speed in order to maintain safe driving conditions. Therefore, in general, the safer option is to not use cruise control in the rain. The title of this article doesn’t really reflect that

They all come with manuals.   The problem is that they are in the glovebox and start off with explained how to get the car out of Park.

You could have had a C8! 

“flawless" perhaps in that he isn't dead, but still mind-bendingly shit stupid.
