Growing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional.

Probably not helping is that it seems incredibly popular with dickheads.

Funny that you mention this, because it was one of the reasons I actually gave Audi a look in the first place; relative to other makes, Audi still offered physical buttons for a lot of the controls. That probably changed with their newest generation of vehicles.

I’ve owned a bunch of Audis. What they had was super clean interiors, they hid screens when not in use and useful buttons/knobs were easy to find while keeping your eye’s on the road. They were not super edgy in their delivery of performance but they just ate miles and corners while maintaining very good manners.…

I always wanted an Audi... and now that I can afford one, I’ll never get one.

To me, it feels like they started with a Lego truck and then just decided to build a real one. Oddly blocky.

It looks fine, but these are really bothering me

This looks like a modern interpretation of the old Dodge Power Wagon. It’s not a looker, but it’s striking for sure and I can see where some of the inspiration comes from.

Best way to see leaves is not from the road- there, you’re only going to see a limited variety- you need to head into the woods to really see those colors. I’ll recommend the Canyon Neuron because that medium-travel suspension is fantastic at sucking up hits from rocks and roots buried under leaves. And if you’re in…

Bumpers? A non-dreary black interior? A gas booster? Sheesh, they may have something there.

Cool, but do they have frequently failing nylon fasteners holding the wiring harness together at the firewall and do they start to rust within minutes of purchase?

Ooof, those wheels on the LWB are ugleee. 

Car companies are pricing themselves out of business. They’re only trying to build and sell high end/high profit vehicles and ignoring the vast majority of potential customers. Is it any wonder that Hyundai and KIA have been able to take such big shares of the market? I was visiting my mom in Texas last week and…

Eurosport VR...

I was a latch-key kid of the 80s with parents going through a divorce, but even those factors don’t excuse or explain my love of GM’s plastic-clad performance variants. Grand Prix, Beretta GTU, Eurosport VR... it’s amazing that I’m a functional adult.

Cybertruck aside, I’m with you. I can’t stand to look at these GM twins.

Topgear, Autoblog and Jalopnik was my order for automotive sites every morning and evening.  That really sucks. 

Nah, that DeLorean had the flux capacitor option and is actually only a few weeks old, relatively.

$4200 to wrap a vehicle that’s all flat panels. There are ZERO complex curves or body lines to follow. This is the automotive equivalent of wrapping a boxed birthday present.

$4,200 on making it look exactly the same.
