This is not the I25 of the 1990s between Denver and Colorado Springs. What used to be a sleepy 2 lane per direction is now a 3 or 4 lane one with 10 times the traffic volume and HOV lanes

As a 64 year old who daily drives a 2011 WRX wagon, I say "what?"

With multiple metal plates in my arm, I’m never going to be able to use any of this as 90% of the time it will trigger an alarm. Additionally, there is no consistent standard for security checks . I was unfortunate enough to pass through LHR 3 times in a period of 10 days last month and the same security team came up…

When I’m alone in the car, opening the sunroof is  practically the first thing I do. Night driving with the roof open is eerily good

I believe the correct term is Personal Gentleman's Personal Gentleman. But you also correct

As a previous Turo owner, and as someone who ran a small business providing cars to Uber drivers, I exited both markets when the margins got razor thin. The only way to make money is to get access to business rates in vehicle repair i.e. become a car rental business. The pricing competition is a race to the bottom so…

If they’re talking heritage, they need to add an electrical component that will randomly disable itself, but will re-enable if you stop by the side of the road for 8 minutes

That’s exactly how it works. There’s a 3 day ban to obtain scientific concessus on the risks of the new strain.

With a Covid19 control better than New Zealand on the IOM (now 100 days without a case) and effectively mandatory jail sentences for visitors breaking quarantine, visiting and filming is going to be a non-starter in the near future. I would suspect that the 2021 TT is unlikely, given that the point of entry is through…

Thats a great price for that wagon here in Colorado, and they're seriously rare. When I was looking for one I considered driving an 8 hour round trip to look at one, as there were only 2 for sale in the entire state.

You've spot on with this. Uber ski is pretty much dead here in Denver because no driver wants a 75 mile trip out to the mountains with little to no possibility of a return fare. Also the extra money for the driver? $6

There are 3 Tesla stores here in Colorado, all on the front range, where there is the infrastructure to support Teslas. Tim Jackson is a real old style dealer representative. They've been fighting us using California emissions rules despite the desperate pollution problems here in Denver, mostly because they sell a…

I’ve got a “British” score that is pretty high - Grandparents fought in both wars, parents with working class jobs, grammar school education, participated in wildcat strikes in the 70's, Brixton and poll-tax riots, worked in the NHS, was around when we called the EU the “Common Market”, loves chips and curry sauce,  bl…

Vauxhall Viva - My dad’s first ever new car 1965, pea green, fitted with optional front seatbelts. I even remember the registration, ETR 631C.

Pizza express American hot, as featured in hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy, is, as far as I know, the only specific topping pizza described in a world best selling book. Sorry, Chicago, new York. Its very good, and best eaten with a knife and fork (fork held correctly in left hand). Also available very close to…

As a previous resident of London, and an occasional visitor nowadays, all I can say about congestion pricing is “It’s a bloody miracle”

I look at mine every day , same configuration above, same color and think “that’s a good looking car”

I have written on this before, but Amtrak long distance provides a vital public service out in flyover country, small towns actually subsidize the service, for example out in rural Colorado and Kansas you can be 3-400 miles from a commercial airport, and if you cant drive for any reason, Amtrak is literally the only…

Absolutely not. If you don’t have one when you check in, you will absolutely be denied boarding, no discussion, no recourse. I’ve seen this happen at UK airports on the way to the USA.

Actually, you really are welcome. We don't get a choice about what we pay for. And when I think about what we burn in the middle East every day, and what we could spend that money on here, when I hear about a positive use of tax money, it brings a little smile. As a foreigner in the USA, I'm someone who really doesn't…
