Cleanse your palate with some cold Tommaco juice.

Phoenix Metro Area. City of Stroads.

It has just struck me recently how many non-news stories pop up like this on both sites. What is really interesting is when both sites review the same car, I love the different opinions from enthusiast sites, as opposed to Motor Trend or Auto Week.

This seems like an accurate take to me. I’ve driven a Festiva and an iQ on multi-day road trips*, because I am a masochist who loves small cars. A Fit seems like it would be a step up!

Aren’t those the coffee beans they pick out of puma poo?

Commenters: Hold my beer...

Ok, travel back in time to 1979, nick the bloody part from the service counter, back to 2021 and Bob’s your uncle!

The journalistic pipeline continues. The Drive had this story yesterday, without the Vox link, which is from April. What the hell goes on between these two sites? I can understand covering the same news, but having the same “Style” section stories?

Star for the Peter Falk Columbo reference. Hope it gets you out of the gray!

“So That’s a Matador.”

They couldn’t have just said “oh yeah, we have this,too” and rolled out a Maverick?

+ solar panels = #vanlife!

The last bar of 6 starts flashing, which means I’ve used around 6 gallons of my 8.5 gallon tank. I usually have 250-260 miles on my trip odometer at that point. ~40 miles per gallon.In 7+ years, I think I have put over 7 gallons in my tank 2-3 times, usually on road trips. No free car wash* for me!

So what about the magnets clamped to my fuel line? Have I been scammed again? (I drive a Scion iQ, I’ll fall for anything! :D )

Not to be too graphic but.... How about the literal meaning: “I have a big dick”? Probably on a bro-dozer who is obviously compensating for the exact opposite!

Snide H2 mileage comments aside, there really isn’t much of a story here. 20 gallons of gas in what appear to be the charred and melted remains of approved fuel containers could easily be stock-up for weekend yard work, boating excursion or many other legitimate activities.

Checker. Designed a car in the 50's (1960 model year) and decided...  eh, good enough, build it for 20 years. They looked old when they were new and I love them.
