Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t watching you.

Acura’s lucky the car didn’t come back with a turd in the A/C.

So the guy set his cruise control to about 10% over the speed limit on a fairly empty stretch of high speed road. If I’m not mistaken this is the normal mode of driving in America.

The real point of interest in this story is that David Tracy has a landlord. A landlord who sees his property on a daily basis. A landlord who is A-OK with a tenant operating what is essentially a private junkyard on his property, right next door.

That guy is the most chill landlord on the face of the earth.

No wonder we’ve been getting Morning Shift stories for a year about inexplicably soaring Jeep sales and Marchionne shopping around for a merger partner. They were building a valuation on bunkum by broadcasting fake numbers, and we wrote off the doubters as just crapping on FCA for old time’s sake.

Not going to lie, I would have believed the first four were real. The Solitaire car gave away the joke. Torch, never stop spinning amazing narratives around obscure references.

“Don’t park a McLaren next to a Ferrari. It looks normal. Park it next to a ‘90s Thunderbird.”

Every stupid drunken stunt you could ever attempt, Graham was born to survive. He’s living his best life.

Millenial reporting in. When I was a kid, my parents had two cars, a Mercury Capri convertible, and a Nissan hardbody pickup with a bed top. I was an only child but I had a bunch of friends. Any time we wanted to go to the beach, dad would fire up the Nissan and we’d all pile into the back, competing to see who could

Total restoration doesn’t cut it. Behold the Racecar of Theseus.

I don’t even want to think about how much that’ll cost to fix the first time a plastic bag gets caught in the motor.

I am surprised and shocked that this show managed to stay on TV with this cast as long as it did. I think the last time I watched it was 2010.

Flatscreen computers that are built into the dash instead looking like a tacked on Garmin, and interior details covered in glowing Tron lines. Finally a car that lives up to the concept promises. Gimme gimme.

You know what? Even the Puma looks better than that Rolls concept.

Can you speak to the quality of the cars? The idea of an on-demand rental car, where the renter never has to face up to another human being, does not fill me with confidence.

Legit question: Is there one place in the world where on-demand “car sharing” actually exists yet? Not taxis or the airport rental, like the automobile version of Citi-bike that everyone seems to think is happening any day now.

Torchinsky has been pitching silly ideas for new car designs for years, and nobody reads his jokes on the Today show.

...waaaiiit a minute...

Driving a 95 Thunderbird on lowered shocks, outside of Amarillo Texas right after it rained, turning the table-flat panhandle into a bog. I saw a giant mud puddle in the middle of a two-lane road, and drove half onto the shoulder to avoid it. The muddy shoulder completely swallowed my right tires and dragged the whole

The Silverado has officially reached Family Truckster levels of front end accoutrements.

Incompetent London cops on a joyride? Any word if cornettos were involved?
