DB stands for David Brown.

And the following number is how many times you have to say it before starting the car XD

Close. Say it as a prayer, “Don’t break, don’t break, don’t break.”

Hey Tom, I just wanted to let you know that I enjoy these columns! These are the only Jalopnik posts I look at regularly. I love serious vehicle searches for other people and the results that y’all come up with. However, I wanted to give you some advice on something I’ve noticed in a couple columns: the locations.

This is a myth. I went to Malaysia two years ago and got sneezed on a bunch, and nothing bad ever happened to me, unless you count that sometimes I lose track of what I’m doing right in the middle of

This. I was cross-shopping a new FOST vs a new WRX and holy shit, the insurance bump for the WRX was insane.

You can get a “stripped” 2017 Jetta S, 5-speed in the DC area for under $14000 with a 1.4 turbo and 184lbs of torque. The engine is pretty sweet and the car is super sporty for the price.

This is a silly combination of requirements, and at least one must go.

Abarth 500 with warranty that sound is amazing

Hopefully there’s a really wealthy Douglas Adams…

there’s definitely something hilarious about the forehead vein on a redneck popping out while screaming ten different times OK SIREE, WHEEERRRR DOOO THEY KEEP THEM DAMN PORK RHINDZ

Here is my Theory:

I grew up in the upper Midwest where they grow newscasters and NPR voices like they do corn and soybeans. Though there are some accents the enunciation is usually very very clear. When I am intentionally speaking extra clearly I sound like a bad instructional video and usually have no problem with voice prompts and…

Just convenience. Everything’s about convenience. Like, I don’t need Alexa to turn the temperature down on my Honeywell t-stat which is sitting 5 ft away from my fat ass, but I use it.
