If you want to be pedantic about it, the birth rate decrease has actually sped up, not slowed.

We’re burying the lede here. Don’t eat Papa John’s because it’s shitty pizza.

(That being said, I don’t disagree with your premise)

My viewpoint would be that the government shouldn’t be encouraging personal behaviors with tax incentives. The tax credit only started in 1997 and has not encouraged the average American family to have more kids. In fact, the birth rate has decreased substantially from 14.4/thousand in 1996 to 12.5/thousand in 2015,…

1st Gear: While I broadly agree that the federal government shouldn’t try to push tax credits for specific things (EVs vs Gas/Petrol vehicles, renting vs mortgages, having children and being married vs single with no children - the one that really gets me), the problem with this is that so many car companies have…

Hey there! Guy who makes commercials professionally, here.

Will it Cars and Coffee?

I just about lost it at the “Over 85% of Aries owners have a fixed address”

I work in film production and you better believe that when I go to sell my A3 I’m going to do something like this. It looks like so much fun to film, and is a fitting send off for a car (especially since most of us feel like our cars are part of our family).

As long as they don’t offer it in the Mustang.

I was born in Cluj and my father has great stories of racing his Dacia 1300, a copy of the Renault 12, around those mountain passes. I was trying to find the photo of him at the top of one of the peaks picnicking, but I couldn’t. He told me about all the money spent, time taken, and lives lost building that road.…

Guys. It’s like an alarm clock.

Supra. ‘Nuff said.

Dear diary,

A motorcycle with CarPlay.

Hey now! Maybe this will be a Porsche-like situation. They use the massive mountains of cash that Americans will throw at them for an electric crossover to fund things like a Z car that doesn’t feel like it’s from the malaise era, or a production IDx...

I’m talking about car companies in general - even if it’s Toyota, VW, Audi, Mercedes, etc. - they’re mostly still built here in North America. My old GTI was assembled in Mexico. My dad’s old truck (American) was built in Mexico as well (I’m pretty sure). And beside that, it’s not just the manufacturer. It’s the…

I rented a diesel Audi in Italy a few weeks ago and there were signs EVERYWHERE on it, including the gas cap and dash and gas cap release and inside of the gas cap cover and the key fob saying DIESEL ONLY. I feel like maybe they had some bad experiences with Americans putting petrol instead of diesel...

Agreed - I’ve only ever bought one new car, and that was a GTI back in 2007. My current ride (Audi A3) is 8 years old, bought it a few months ago.
