Night Panel for life. I’m very sensitive to light and can’t stand all the light pollution in modern cars.

Carmakers, especially more enlightened ones like Saab, spent decades trying to improve ergonomics in their products. Then Tesla decided that it could dispense with all that and just slap a screen in the middle of the dashboard. Other manufacturers, unfortunately, followed along. I don’t really care that much, and the…
No permanent Double Decker? Not interested. I will die on this fucking hill.
As a nearly 6'6" guy, the RX-8's ergonomics don’t suck. It’s one of the few cars I could fit in. The only complaint I really have was that the steering wheel wasn’t telescopic.
Bring back the double decker taco you cowards
I put my bottles, etc. in a gallon or quart sized ziplock baggie. It’s way easier to load and unload, and allows for acquiring additional bottles while traveling. Plus, a small piece of cling wrap is much easier to lose, so what do you do when it’s time to go home? And I carry a couple of extra baggies along, just in…

Maaan I watched so many old Car Spotting videos before I moved to NYC. Got me real excited for all the weird American cars I’d be able to see here!
We were just making plans for this the other day!
Those were oddly entertaining.
Looking at the masthead: If you guys are going to dig back and resurrect the old features, how about new editions of Raph’s car spotting vids?
Does this take into account having a shower beer? Something everyone needs to try at least once in their lifetime. Do try to keep water out of it though.
The correct time to spend in the shower is the amount of time it takes to briefly wipe away the crippling depression you have and/or finish your beer.
A Dodge Journey, likely priced in the basement, and still coming with a full factory warranty is not as bad of a choice as people pretend. It won’t be great, but it’ll get you to work and school if you need a car.
You mean the Mexican-built truck is kicking ass and taking names of two competitors built in Alabama, right?
