There is no perfect car. American cars are also prone to recalls. An actor was killed recently by his Jeep Grand Cherokee. My younger brother’s Mercedes caught on fire once. Japanese cars also have issues. So does every automaker.

This is amazing. But what if it falls into the hands of BMW drivers? It would make parking across three spaces even easier.
That has happened. I saw a teenager driving his Lada backwards when I was in Russia. Granted, it was lacking a backup camera, which makes it all the more impressive.
I think the CarMax warranty is the most important part of buying a used Jaguar/Land Rover. I recently sold my 02 Jaguar. Nuff said.
I don’t have any pictures, but I can tell you what happened. I traded cars with my brother, I got his Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, he got my car. I must be a terrible driver, for I managed to get the Jeep stuck in between two trees, with no idea as to how it happened. When I first started driving (20 years ago) I got my…
This takes the fun out of NYC driving.
I once drove a G63 for a week, and upon comparing it to my wife’s Range Rover have decided that the G-Class comes nowhere near the Range Rover, except in terms of horsepower. The G63 has windows that are completely perpendicular to the horizon. In your normal car, the windows are slightly tilted. In the G-Wagon, they…
No offense, but I think even the Infiniti QX80 looks better, and that’s just a bloated dragonfly that swallows people whole. I love the new C-Class coupe though. I’m seriously considering getting one. What surprises me is how much the C-Class coupe looks like the S-Class coupe.
YES! Try to get it appraised at CarMax!
Another great article by Doug. Love the Kardashian joke, it’s very true. Any idea when the new book will come out? One more question. How does the siren work? I hear it's tricky depending on what vehicle you're using.
I almost died. “How to Escape the Scary Google Street View Car”. Classic DeMuro. This is so true. I hear that the German government keeps the 959s in a cellar. They also keep all the people born on February 29 locked up in a laboratory and let loose once every four years.
It was a Mercedes 500E. The owner had stashed it away in his garage for two decades, and upon closer inspection I realized a colony of raccoons was living in the trunk. Go figure. When I asked the owner about it, he said that he was keeping it low-mileage, “pristine”, and perfect so he could sell it in ten years. Is…
Doug, may I ask how your Ferrari is doing? Or your Hummer? (Likely being used as a school bus in the Middle East)
Before I read this, I already have an answer. Don't buy a car. Move to Italy, and get one of those motorized scooters that grandmas there drive. You can park it pretty much anywhere.
Actually, Doug mentioned the 90s Honda Odyssey, which he states does NOT have sliding doors. So the Odyssey must also void affiliation with minivandom.
Actually, I’ve wondered why the Escalade EXT failed. It was a Chevy Avalanche with more features. Any insight?
A silver Aston...in the snow...with studded tires? Sounds an awful lot like the car chase scene in Die Another Day.
I’d be willing to trade in my S-Class for one of these...
Whenever I pass a Chevy Trax driver, the driver is A) a senior citizen or B) a student driver. Just sayin’.
My parents are driving the same Lexus LS they bought new in 1997. 20 years and still going. So I suppose it was a decent investment.
