Stick with the fixed roof cars and it will work out just fine - you’ll go through less sunscreen too.

Tell you what, go to the dealership, take your stroller and the car seat(s) and see what works. Then, determine what your needs are. Sure you may be able to physically fit stuff, but does it fit your lifestyle? My wife and I started out with a VW Golf, but realized we’d like to have a little more cargo room and ended…

I’ve been feeling the same way about a litany of recent articles over on Jalopnik. I read the headlines and am confused at the need to “educate” people about some of these things.

Most anything can “baby” (God, I hate internet terminology) if you’re sensible about it. European families of four have been driving econoboxes for years with no problems.

“EQ” is Mercedes’ new brand buzzword for its electric cars, and stands for “electric intelligence,” because “intelligence” starts with the letter Q. 

Completely agree. I’d noticed some truck drivers throw on their flashers in hard braking situations a few years back and started implementing the habit myself.

I had a tuned 1995 Audi Ur-S6 Avant that I liked to try and maintain on my own as much as possible. The big stuff would still go to the shop, but for things that could be repaired in a few hours or basic maintenance items, I’d usually have a run at on my own.

As I backed out of my driveway one morning I heard a loud…

But both of those cars are only matching Audi’s A5 Sportback/A5/A4 lineup as sold in the rest of the world so who knows or who cares the German car industry is a mess and everyone is trying to do what the other ones are doing which is why, dear god why, any of these cars exist.

Yeah, but the trailer will knock off at least 2 seconds a lap...so I’ve been told.

I bought my 2008 535xi touring WITH the bigger/newer/better/faster/more efficient engine, newer styled body and interior, all the same options, and only 10K more miles last November for $14,000. These are currently fetching $12K at auction, at BEST. This is a CP price all the way to the bank. Also, within the next…

“At it’s debut, many potential buyers felt as if they were given the short end of the stick with the E36 M3. Who could really blame them for feeling that way? This was the car that had to follow in the E30 M3’s footsteps. By making the E36 M3 so great, BMW basically shot future-BMW in the foot.”

Fact or editorial?…

Agree completely that there’s no need to escalate by being an a-hole in return.

Not to mention, more often than not an error by a driver may be a one-0ff. We can’t all say that we are perfect all the time. Though there are those purposefully aggressive and crappy drivers that do exist, and there’s a special place in…

I live in Boston...fixed that headline for you.

My first bike and couldn’t imagine a better place to start. Light and not powerful enough to get you into too much trouble, but enough power to keep you engaged for longer than a 250 would. Mine was ultra reliable, handled well on the back roads, and wasn’t horrible on the highway so long as you weren’t doing ultra…

Somewhat surprised: Clarkson dropped from Top Gear
Would be surprised: Hammond and May continue on without him
Won't be surprised: When all three of them gloat about their HUGE new contracts with another non-commercial media company (HBO, Netflix, Amazon, and on...) in the coming weeks

There's a bit of a catch to the federal rebate on a leased car, though, because the lessee can't take advantage of that rebate since they don't own the car. When you lease, you'll have to negotiate that up front price reduction with the leasing company to gain the benefit and not all dealerships will make that process…

Musk says that the company is making progress on auto-steering, where the car keeps track of the lines on the road and doesn't let it veer out of the lane. The test route Tesla is using is between San Francisco and Seattle and Musk says it's "almost able to go [between the two locations] without touching the controls…

You wanna do that, go right ahead...it's your prerogative to be irresponsible. But you end up wrecking because the car is suddenly "too much for you" or because that empty highway happens to also have deer running across it (stupid deer) then that's on you as well.

The point is not limiting peoples fun, it's ensuring…

It's been said before, but let's not discount repair costs; upfront purchase price only gets you so far. Especially with newer cars there is less and less a shade-tree mechanic can do on their own to offset some of that cost.

I have an '08 E61 (hardly an exotic) that I could purchase a code reader and a couple Bentley…

Nonetheless, at least one example — maybe two, depending on who you ask, hence the asterisk in my headline — made it to our shores. This is a wonderful thing, and even more wonderful is the fact that Giant-American Matt Farah drove for the latest /DRIVE+ video.
