Hopefully Sydney has an AI personal assistant who can write a heartfelt response.

I could see it being useful for those sorts of tasks, like coloring in a drawing I made - but I know that it would start mixing up the colors of things and we would end up with purple grass at some point. It could also draw the intermediate frames for animations.

I opted to stay on another sleepy island when my siblings headed off to Santorini back in 1999 as it had a reputation already. Cannot imagine what it is like nowadays.

Someone who was there (supposedly) posted in the Instagram comments, stating that the Camaro had raced on the inside track earlier that day with no problems, but there was lots of greasy rubber laid down on the outside track and the driver didn’t know how to handle those conditions.

Their lineup is almost as old as Tesla’s.

Yeah, that was glossed over in most the coverage I have encountered.

DS has to be the silliest brand of all time. Utterly, butterly pointless. All those cars could have been Citroëns.

I agree with the penalties here, but a person at 17 is nothing like the same individual at 25. Give him a five-year ban and make sure he has grown some sense before he gets a license again.

The unbalanced boom truck operator I dealt with the other day (brought a handgun to do a facade inspection) bragged about is 1000hp Dodge. I think he’s more of a threat to public safety than my unarmed self and my 48hp Honda Today.

The Drive copied it from Mercedes Streeter when she wrote it for Jalopnik many years ago. It’s like when AIs start using AI content as a reference.

Well, no, their goal is to close the import car loophole entirely - the keis are simply the initial target; once that is done they will add any imports to the list of banned vehicles. I kept trying to explain this to the owners of expensive vintage imports at the Greenwich Concours, but they simply shrugged, thinking…

And why the H did the AC stop working? How does that require the steering to be operable?

It might, but “heads I win, tails you lose” is for real.

I wish your last sentence was true - but alas! the wealthy have figured out various means to make you and me do the paying when they lose.

I have a rusty Focus Wagon in my driveway... automatic, won’t die. I kept it around to use as a moving van, planned on donating it afterwards as the rear suspension was having problems. Then my mother wanted to borrow it for a road trip to Canada, and so I fixed the rear suspension against my better judgement. Haven’t…

My wife dailies an RHD and my car is RHD (I commute by train, though). We have an old beater Ford Focus wagon as backup, should parts supply issues keep us out of our JDM cars.

I wouldn’t necessarily buy this, but I’d rather have this Camry than a new car. Luckily I could find a ten times cooler, 25-year-old Toyota in Japan in nearly equivalent condition for less than half that.

I thought I was stupid when I bought a car at auction in Japan - but even if the deal had gone south, I certainly wouldn’t have considered anything so drastic - assuming that $275K for this person is equal to me losing $5K.

Kei trucks frequently come with drop side beds, which allow for a lot more flexibility. If they’re even necessary.

Never realized how lucky I am in my NYC suburb - 0% HOAs. The town doesn’t allow street parking overnight and they are very strict on work w/o a permit, but I consider those benefits. They will also plant trees in your yard or in front of your house for no charge, if requested.
