Came here to post this.  How are they going to juice revenue by overcharging 3x for electrons? 

My 2011 BMW 328i.

COTD right here. 100%. 

More of this, please! I love the Rebelle and the tone of your reporting on it is just great.

This was way too drama-free to be a David Tracy Joint (TM). 

Feels like you should keep this guy on speed dial. 

The right answer is Toyota Camry. It’s the most American-made car. It’s made in the largest auto manufacturing plant in the world. And we all know it to be the cockroach of cars, practically unkillable. 

Don’t ever change, Torch. 

Unpopular opinion: a Porsche of any kind. I just can’t get my head around the embarrassment I’d feel picking up my kids. I’d love driving it, I’m sure. But I don’t think I can get over the conspicuous consumption aspect of it. 

Buick and Acura (with the TSX Wagon) didn’t understand the very specific Venn diagram of potential buyers: They ALL wanted a sporty, low-roof wagon AND a manual transmission. So the 300 total people who are in that Venn diagram didn’t want them, and nobody else bought one either because they aren’t CUVs. You can’t…

If ever there was an argument for the EU, this is it. 

A single complaint...a likely story. More likely: some “normal” dealers are cozy with the state DMV and made some of their best competition go away. We all know that car dealers are best at one thing: protecting their ability to fleece their customers through government lobbying. 

We have a neighbor who hand-me-downed their i3 BEV to their 16 year old. When she wanted to drive to the beach with a friend the were like, “hahahaha. you can’t go that far in it!”

These are ghost cars because they’re peak American disposable cars. They changed design enough then still to drive people buying new, they were so similar to so many other cars of the time, and GM still hadn’t figured out rust-proofing enough to make them stay around more than a decade. Fast forward forty years and we…

This is a good answer if you can find one without much rust. 

I love how angry you are about this, Torch. 

You wouldn’t have those things either if the UAW and other unions didn’t fight for them way back when.

Live near Duke University. Lots of young people driving hand-me-down Range Rovers with Jersey plates.  

I know a bunch of folks are going to whine about this not having to do with cars. But as a born-and-raised Philadelphian and car enthusiast, MORE OF THIS PLEASE. Don’t fuck with Philly and don’t bring your white supremacist trash over here. 

Side of seat for sure. Memory buttons on the door are OK, tho.
