I get the principle of no right on red, and I think it makes sense to roll it out depending on need, but at that point, we might want to just consider scramble crossings (think no through traffic while pedestrians go to whichever point of the intersection they need to), just completely separate the two modes.…

I actually did get saddled with a free Hyundai Accent. Twice. Hateful little shitboxes (especially the second which didn’t have A/C, and I had to drive for work), but functional enough it was hard to justify spending money for something nicer.

You’re not obligated to like it, but the mid-2000's Quattroporte is like peak Italian car in both the good and bad ways, and I frequently wonder just how much of a glutton for punishment I am.

90's era Chrysler took all sorts of wild swings, made interesting things, did top-tier concept cars, and if they weren’t American, more people would recognize that.

My house was built in the 40's, I have a fairly narrow driveway that runs between my house and the one next door. With something 72in wide, I can just get my bins or a bike or something past. Too many new cars are maxing out the allowable ~80in. The cars are too damn wide.

Stainless steel or aluminum? They absolutely built 20 Sables out of aluminum for testing, and have saved at least one.

Years ago, in the aftermath of a snowstorm, I get caught behind someone who can’t make it up a gentle hill because someone decided commuting in their M3 on summer tires was a good idea. I have nothing better to to, so help push them to the top of the hill just to get them out of the way. Just as we finish, one of…

For sure, I get how it makes sense as an EV, just if anything would make it feasible in North America, ICE might be it.

I won’t say it would be better exactly, but the new Renault 5 sounds to be excellent, and while it does make sense as an EV, with charging infrastructure being what it is (especially for someone who might drive a small city car like this), an ICE option would help expand its appeal.

I see a bit of the E-Type in the roofline and dash-to-axle bit, but more than anything, I see these two;

The K-Car -it saved Chrysler, it popularized the minivan, it resurrected the convertible in North America, the turbo models were quick for the 80's, and they even managed to get a limo out of it (maybe not a great one, but good enough for a retired Richard Nixon).

Covered everything from stripper Fairmonts to the Mark VII, and managed to last from ‘78 through ‘04 in modified form as the SN95 Mustang.

There was a diesel R-class as well (R320 Bluetec), which I’m surprised doesn’t have more of a cult following).

I will admit to having a soft spot for the Hummer EV - the Cybertruck has come along to supplant it as ride of choice for the aggro douchebag with too much money, so now it just feels like fun goofy overkill, like you need an 80's hair metal guitarist wielding a double-necked Flying V riding in the bed as your own…

Better handling, lighter, faster, as I understand it, the Series III was already well on the way to GT rather than sports car, which explains a lot of the XJ-S.

I dunno, I love this silhouette.

I’m not sure if the hotter take is that the most desirable E-Type is the V12 (which, reminder, only came in Series III form with the awful grille), or that the coupe is in any way less pretty than the convertible. I still support Brad having fiery, if sometimes wrong, opinions, just, damn.

I’m of the opinion that the early 70's Mustang Grande that preceded the Mustang II as worst (ugly, bloated, not particularly quick), but yes, the Fox is the best spiritual replacement to the original Mustang, nowhere near the worst.

If anyone in my household is buying a Gladiator, it’s my wife (who’d probably rather just get a regular Wrangler), who also hates my cargo shorts.

If we’re honest, that’s every BMW SUV, but I assume you’re thinking of the XM.
