I wish I could say mine was prepared like a fallout shelter, but it’s really not. I live in the Chicago area so weather in the winter can be brutal. I keep:

When I lived in an urban area, I really learned to hate loud exhaust. But if they’re going to regulate this relatively small number of private vehicles, they need to also regulate the insanely loud, old diesel engines in bigger trucks.

Now this is the quality reporting about cars that we all need!!

I hate to do this but...probably the Ford Raptor. And I don’t even like pickup trucks.

I should never get a vehicle with a 300W P/A system. I would start telling other drivers what I really thought of them...and eventually the results would be predictable.

Amazing write up. And, for what it’s worth, your childhood is likely to color your impression of money for well past your 20s. Keep up the good work. Love your writing.

I was helping a friend shop for Audis back in February and the dealers wouldn’t admit to a markup until they sent over a formal quote. I just submitted those two instances to this site!

Oh no! I really hope you get it working again with something short of a new engine and transmission!

My experience with 10, 15, and 20 year old Japanese cars says otherwise. So at best, 10 years out of date. I can’t speak to anything newer than that.

I think they should make the ICE F1 engines even smaller and then unregulate the “green” part of the car. Batteries, flywheels, whatever the engineers think will make the car go faster and then let them have at it. Maybe even less restriction around the shape of the rear of the car to allow for this kind of…

Verstappen walked away so calmly he knew what had happened and who was responsible. And the fact he was so calm suggests it was premeditated. I don’t think he expected anything that spectacular, but he knew his chances at the championship improved if he crashed them both out.

I think the incident was more Max’s fault. Hamilton pulled off three more passes in that corner throughout the race. You can see from the on-board cameras that Hamilton committed to the corner and didn’t change his steering input. Verstappen steered right into him - probably thinking he could bully Hamilton into…

You should include a review of motorcycle turn signals! I’d love to read that.

This was a gloriously nerdy dive into this door failure. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I car-sat a Tesla Model 3 and had the 12V die on me. I think it was because I had to rely on local superchargers to charge the car instead of having it plugged in at home. I only drove it once a week and you could watch the main battery drain at something like 10% a day until the whole car would shut down when the…

Love your take on Jalop cars. Nothing here I’d buy, but it’s fun to click through!

I think a Corvette SUV makes sense. Look no further than the Lamboghini Urus that it would be competing against. 

I think this is a neat idea. It’s gracefully simple.

I remember learning to use a washing machine. My twin brother and I had run out of clothes. We were maybe...13? 14? So we hauled all our dirty laundry down to the laundry room. We knew enough that it was important to sort by color so we read ALL the tags on the clothes and sorted by color and then by temperature. We…

Can openers are perhaps one of the least intuitive tools to use. Like seriously - this thing is suppose to perch on the edge of the can AND drag it around in a circle? I think perhaps the least interesting (or most demented) person to ever meet would be the inventor of the can opener. This Dad was a monster. Feed your…
