I’d have been perfectly happy with Chris Harris, Rory Reid, an Sabine Schmitz.

The problem with this is Sabine’s accent makes it tough to understand her sometimes.

Oh god no.

Oh for fuck’s sake no.

NO
ALL THE NO IN THE WORLD

The thing that would make me happiest right now is for Renault to give FCA a big middle finger and say no.

I also have the convenience of “cell number is from hometown whose area code I don’t live in.”

As someone who lives along a highway that sees a lot of Canadian tourist traffic, it seems that Canadians save all their anger and aggression for when they’re driving.

I vaguely remember PCs in model cars being a thing.

IIRC The Car Show had Adam, Matt Farah, Dan Neil, and John Salley.

To be fair, Clarkson doesn’t seem to be anti-gay, especially considering there’s a homosexual on The Grand Tour. (Abbie Eaton)

Ive had it basically since they launched it. It’s worked 95% of the time for me. On the occasions it hasn’t worked, it’s usually only for a few hours to a day at most.

Definitely. I had the alternate thing happen. I couldn’t find the right options on a Challenger (or Renegade, which I was also looking at) at the price I was looking for, so I ended up in my 300 I have now. I regret nothing.

That was a stretch of a joke, but now I do get it.

Its the RIGHT Challenger Classic too, with the better wheels.

It’s named after Christian Von Koenigsegg’s father, Jesko Von Koenigsegg.

I would agree that they fix it be the end of the model year usually.

Definitely do not buy a first-3-months car.

Not gonna lie. I’m obviously an FCA guy, but I would NOT buy a 1st-year-all-new FCA vehicle.

...The Gladiator is JL based though, so it may be fine.

Agreed that it’s a bad take. I stayed with Chrysler exclusively because of Uconnect when I was car shopping a couple years ago. I was looking at Focus STs, Optima SXs, even e92 335is, among others in the uner 20k used bracket at the time. I liked Uconnect the most and was familiar with it.

There were random quirks with…

Agreed. At 6', I can ‘sit behind myself’ in a Challenger comfortably enough to be functional. That usable back seat is a huge plus.

You may almost never need to use it, but when you do, you’ll be glad it’s there.

IMO the to-drive-or-not-to-drive question can be simplified a bit.

If a car is a driver’s car, and not a marvel of beauty of design, I see no reason no keep the miles low and stare at it (examples of such would be 911s, NSXs, MR2s). If a car is designed with appearance in mind, I’m not bothered by it basically being an…

If we get really technical, it’s a design BASED ON the E class and S class of the 90s (E class rear, S class front IIRC).

This, however is much the same way the current Jeep Wrangler is based on the TJ. It’s really not, except in the way that it’s an evolution of technology.

Gonna be honest, that made me re-check a track near me that I was sure was pretty expensive to do anything at, and I saw that they have a couple less expensive days that I may try to attend.

I just need a helmet now...

This.

I have almost no problem with someone who decides an impromptu exhibition of speed is called for, but only when certain conditions are met.

1. You’re in an area where a wreck will only hurt you, your ego, and whomever you’re racing.
