I love that the Mercedes GLA45 AMG exists, especially in the bonkers trim with the spoiler and boy racer wheels. No one really asked for an entry-level Mercedes crossover with an engine that insane, but we have one now, and it's delightfully nuts.

Automakers, want to know how to make an #infotainment system those elusive #millennials will like? Get rid of whatever you have, replace it with a universal smartphone mount, a USB and/or an aux jack, and wifi capability.

My wife was a kid who grew up in the back of her parents wagon and she still loves them and know's I love them too. She said they would put the window down on the back of the wagon and throw water balloons at cars. She saw this Nomad driving down the road and flagged him down just to get pictures for me.

While I like the new new beetle coupe the convertible reminds me too much of the last one.

I know this video from so long ago I've never noticed that.

I used to make my intentions known driving my '97 Ford Aspire in heavy downtown traffic. It was pretty banged up, even for a Ford Aspire and the way I would take off at every light and stopsign and charge hard for any gap I made it clear I would give no quarter to my enemies fellow drivers.

If GM was still Government Motors we could petition Obama to make this happen. Missed Opportunity....

We all do.

Perfectly timed question, as the brand new ATS-V race car will begin the Pirelli World Challenge campaign next week in Texas. As for long-term ideas to expand in racing, this is under study at the moment, but no conclusion has yet been reached. Personally, I am a big motorsport enthusiast, so I favor strong…

I'd rather have something temporary like this I could use only when I need it because I rarely use nav.

Boom. 150th star.

I think in America we got so much crap during the malaise era American journalists just got used to foreign makes being better and it's taken the last twenty years for those sentiments to finally start coming back around.

When I first started watching Top Gear I thought the over the top jingoism for Jaguar, Aston Martin, and Lotus was a kind of parody of this. I think over the last few years I've come to realize they really love the Brit makes just that much.

I like LeBron and I was happy for him when he left. Could you imagine if he stayed with the Cavs for his whole career and if they never won a championship? That would be a shame if LeBron went his whole career without winning a championship. Went down pretty much like I told everybody it would. He went to a better…

Are you outside in 28 degree weather in shorts and a t-shirt or are you one of those Floridians who is constantly in climate controlled environments and says the heat isn't so bad?

I prefer Ohio. I like seasons, and trees, and history. Everything in Florida is new and stucco and sand and palm trees.
