People who brake too much are a huge red flag to me. If you leave a reasonable distance and don’t drive like a jackass, you hardly ever have to use your brakes unless you actually need to stop. People who use brakes too much show me that this person lacks situational and spatial awareness, patience and can be…

“Marlene”  The Dollar Tree Christine. 

Definitely not. I had a 2021 Malibu as a rental car and it somehow felt like it was from 2011. An awful CVT transmission. It got off the line OK but trying to pass someone at speed just made the RPMs fly to 5K and more noise while I was barely able to accelerate. Also, one of the worse infotainment systems ever.....it…

Any boring, milquetoast, anonymous, Target mom, GM crossover. They’re the rice in the automotive burrito. Filler to drive around on a morning commute and fill up Bath and Bodyworks parking lots. The most NPC vehicles to exist...piloted by palette swapped programmed routines designed to be in front of you in line at…

I had one as a rental in Orlando....it beat walking...barely. 

Why introduce nuance for rational discussion when you can have snarky one-liners to pwn your opponent?

Have to stay ahead of the enem...er civilians.

He’s going to say he supports anyone who he believes will be polarizing enough to give D the L in 2024. 

Tony Dalton is amazing. He’s classically charming, almost an Errol Flynn vibe, with a glimmer of evil just under the surface. I felt like he should have had a bigger presence in the show since they were alluding to him being a big bad. His turn to be actually a good guy was clumsy as well...only to leave him…

Tesla and Elon’s fucking up. The bad PR about taxes, the awkward and cringe memes from a grown ass man, the quality issues, inadequate brakes on an overpowered vehicle, and scammy business practices like this.

I always thought Tokyo Drift was one of the best ones. Han and the Yakuza stuff, the focus on the cars. I kinda enjoyed the fish out of water angle. I loved how they actually showed the Mustang unfinshed, driving around being tested.

Unless you’re 17, this is correct. 

The one you don’t take care of. 

An overfilled brake reservoir means, either the owner doesn’t give a crap or is clueless, which makes me question his judgement on the rest of the car...or he’s trying to hide a leaky hose or caliper somewhere...which also undermines his credibility on the rest of the car.  Summary: Nope. 

I recommended a MK4 GTI for my mom’s husband to get back and forth to work, right before the pandemic hit. The car only had 52K miles on it and it looked brand new under the hood, underneath and inside. You could eat off the engine....and not wiped down with shine either. Being a VW guy and owning both a MK5 and MK6…

Many Saints was disjointed, sloppy and lazy. Lots of stuff didn’t make any sense. Funerals happen almost comedically one right after the other in the same funeral home and nobody seems to really give a shit when whoever dies. Uncle Junior’s bad back “origin story” was dumb. I also hate how lazy it is when the filmmaker…

The comedian/funny man who grows a shaggy beard and takes a half serious role in a Wes Anderson movie is almost cliché at this point.

When I was young, my goal with a new fun car was to make as much power as I could, everything else be damned. This usually resulted in a quick but often unsafe car with a stripped interior and way too uncomfortable to actually drive most of the time. Now, my goal is to get a car as fun as possible while keeping it…

People love to bitch and moan about everything, including cars they screech about wanting and then never bothering to actually buy it (G8). People also want god tier performance and spectacle from a resurrected platform immediately forgetting the Integra LS existed...some with hub caps. 

His car soured me on VW automatics. I’m a little gun-shy about the DSG in the newest models. I have two GTIs...one an MK5 and the other an MK6, both manuals and they have been flawless.
