i don’t get the “brown paint” part of this joke. my regular cab, bench seat, 6' bed, manual windows, auto trans, 2wd truck is red.

Yeah, but Volvo owners are better educated. Mercedes owners, too. It’s only the @$$hats in BMW’s and A4's that don’t have a clue...

Never thought I’d say this but I hope 90's car styles come back. I’m done with these over-sized monster grills.

Let’s talk about the real biggest headlight safety problem. Because of the proliferation of automatic headlights and DRLs, more and more drivers seem to not understand that they need turn their headlights on at night or when it’s advisable for other safety reasons. How do we correct this? More tech, I’m sure?

Hopefully, station wagons, and then the cycle will repeat itself.

My rule is: recline 100% of the time, every time.

Between high interest rates, daily compounding, the way they apply advance payments, and the way they handle PSLF, a cynic might conclude that the law under which these lenders operate was written by the lenders themselves.

Am I the only person who thinks that the new Jetta doesn’t look very good?

What’s the difference between H20i and a hardware store?

Nobody needs AWD, they need winter tires. And I will never, ever understand wanting a higher seating position. From what I can tell, the average person feels safer sitting up high....for some reason. I feel much safer being low to the ground, and able to change directions quickly in case of an impending crash.

I was wondering who they think is buying the Sportwagen? It isn’t BMW or Merc buyers. I doubt this report is correct. VW has always sold a goodly number of inexpensive station wagons to young families. I seriously doubt they are abandoning that market.

Man, automakers are getting really aggressive with their space saver spares these days

Actually, Gawker has run this story 3 times, and have used that word every time. Yet the guy who quoted Daly lost his job.

So how far should it go? Should Daly’s kids not be able to get jobs? Should his grandkids get smacked at any opportunity? I don’t think you’d agree with being punished because your parents said something stupid before you were born.

I’m not a racist. Some of my best racecars are black.

i still want a volvo but it’s priced way out of my league

I’m actually more upset at the sound video - it sounds like a high revving flat crank V8 which is cool and all, but I am going to miss the racing vettes which sound like Thor firing thousands of cannons. 

My favourite story that is tangentially related to The Unfair Advantage, is when the late, great Car columnist Russell Bulgin was writing one month about Gran Turismo 2, and struggling to get the digital version of the Penske Sunoco Camaro to work well on the track.

Deltic’s grandfather was an aircraft engine. It was one of the rare flying diesel engines.
