This happens with regularity in DC, and nothing ever gets done about it. The discourse here among many is that ATV and dirt bike riding is “DC culture”.

I road tripped through Switzerland one year after several years doing it via rail. While I’m not sure it was any better, it did offer a bit more flexibility. We did...

The Last of Us really nails the types of cars that would be around in the apocalypse. 

I accidentally drove the wrong car once. My wife screamed the entire way home. It was only after I pulled in to the garage that I realized I wasn’t married.

Hey.

Since you didn’t mention reliability, what about a first-gen Audi S5 with a nice big V8 (the same 4.2 FSI from the RS4 before they switched to a boring supercharged V6 in 2013). There are quite a few examples in your price range with under 100k miles. They are a bit heavy but they make a nice noise, are super composed …

Sure, of course - I would venture to say that those people are probably generally exceptions to the trend. My dad doesn’t have a college degree and we came here as refugees, but he worked very hard and did incredibly well by the time I was heading to college, despite starting as a pizza delivery guy and bus station jan…

I’m early millennial/gen-x and I think the main issue is that blue collar jobs for non-college educated people have absolutely disappeared. I have an MA and I’ve done pretty well for myself, as have many of my colleagues. Those that are stuck with just a HS degree, or an associate’s, though, are kind of fucked. You…

ahh classic line.

While I generally agree with the premise that no car has been “dangerously slow” for quite a while, I don’t think that applies here. These cars became slower without the owners knowing it, which I would argue is a case of becoming dangerously slow if you suddenly realize while trying to merge that your car is not…

OTA updates are an interesting thing in cars, but there’s one important part that’s missing: an immediate rollback.

This doesn’t even make any damn sense. What are you trying to convey? Are you just so excited at the prospect of being a complete dipshit, that your pea-brain can’t even structure an intelligible sentence quickly enough?

Wow, second comment and it’s straight to being an asshole. Bravo.

While no professional cyclist, I have a coach and several racing bikes, and riding in a peloton like this for a race still terrifies me. I can ride this close with my riding buddy, but I’ve been doing that for years and we can basically read each others’ minds. Mix that in with the crosswinds and I’m surprised there…

I live in DC and one of the quirks about driving here is that police do not enforce valid license plates. Any time you see a temporary tag in DC (usually Maryland), it means that the tag is likely fake. The police either can’t or won’t do anything about this. When tags are real, no amount of moving or parking…

Aside from a handful of items, like a necklace with ashes, or a sentimental watch, I can’t see myself putting up any kind of fight for a material object that can be replaced. 2 blocks from my house an NFL player was shot because he tried to chase down the kids that tried carjacking his Hellcat. I just can’t imagine…

Best way to survive any crime, and survive any criminal, is always comply or die. At that point it is best to stop thinking of it as your car, it is the insurance company’s car from then on.

Nah there are some people that need to be put on the no fly list and they aren’t exactly terrorists, it the ones sexually assaulting stewardesses and picking fights with strangers for no reason.

Yes, and it should be something insane like $5 a minute.

Absolutely not. One rule among gearheads is that you do NOT touch somebody’s car without express permission.
