That is an incredible story. I could almost feel what he was going through. It’s just amazing given the state of the car and what happened to it that he was able to get out with only minor injuries.

Least surprising thing about this car?  Florida plates.

In summer 2019 I picked up a CPO 2016 X5 40e, and for the most part I’m pretty pleased with it. That 16 miles of advertised range, even in town, is really more like 10, but last weekend I visited a gas station for the first time since March - over 1,100 miles of mostly in-town driving on 18 gallons of gas isn’t bad…

It’s a good idea, but as it stands now (at least to me) it’s saying “No Die”. Need to have two or more of those lil’ cubes of randomization to say “No Dice”.

Central Iowa checking in. Definitely need to be prepared for winter driving here.

Oh man, I had an ‘87 325is in that exact color, but with a beige leather interior. What a great car! I was the second owner when I bought it in 1994, at 166k, and sold it in 2001 with over 225k on the odo. (For only $3,350 - wish I had been able to keep it!).  I would love to have this one, but I have to say I have…

I just realized it was probably “Turn Up the Beef”. They got to Connor4Real’s catchphrase verse where he says “Crank up the mids!” and so they did.

Automatic ND for the bad EQ settings.  What the hell are they listening to?

But the red Dart was Sonic and the blue Focus was Knuckles? Isn’t that backwards? Not a hardcore gamer, but I thought Sonic was blue...

I love to imagine the Ford PR people using this as a pull-quote: “ravenously gobbles up miles and defecates, um, you at your destination”

I love the pedal setup in this car. Maybe it’s the angle of the photo in the article, but it appears that the clutch pedal is about where the accelerator would be in a normal LHD vehicle, the brake pedal is about in the middle of the car, and the accelerator looks like it would be more easily operated by the…

How about “The Lesser of Two EVOs”? (Or “The Leasor of Two EVOs” works too, perhaps as a period piece.)

Friend of mine who moved from the lower 48 to Alaska (Fairbanks area) said he wished he would have bought an AWD Toyota minivan (do they call it the Sienna? I can’t be bothered to look it up) before they relocated. At least at the time they were quite sought-after up there due to being pretty practical and reliable.

Just about every time I see an Audi, particularly of this era, I think to myself how much better that car could look with the front wheels at the actual front of the car. Look at how much of the car is forward of the front wheels! And how little gap there is between the front wheel arch and the door! It’s just so…

Am I the only person who initially read “Biotch,” as “Biotech”?

OMG - ONN!  My wife and I still crack up every now and then remembering the Crystal Meth League reports. It's really too bad that show never caught on.

Last summer I picked up a CPO 2016 X5 40e. Before I got it, I was concerned that the 4cyl would not be enough, but it’s surprisingly quick. In fact, around town I leave it in electric-only mode and I’ve never felt it was too slow. I have a short commute and most days the gas engine doesn’t even fire. Definitely…

My 2001 330Ci. Ordered it new - black with a tannin red interior. 5MT. Sport, Premium, and Cold Weather packages. It’s no longer my DD, but with over 205k miles it’s served me very well, and still puts a smile on my face every time I get it out and open it up. Hope I can get my 6-year-old interested in it - someday…

Got to be the Chevy HHR. Someone at GM saw the PT Cruiser and said “we can do worse!”

They should call it the Chevette!
