I fully support this and will put my considerable weight behind making this a reality.

Find me a surface that shows off dust and fingerprints better! You can’t. 

I saw a new 4 series in person for the first time yesterday.

My Dad collected Porsches as I was growing up, so I spent a lot of time in 1970s and 1980s 911s (and 928s for a couple of years), so I will defend them to my death even though I haven’t even sat in one since 1989 (when I went off to college, Dad developed an SL Mercedes kick and hasn’t had a Porsche since).

You get 10 days of borrowed gas-powered cars for three years as part of the deal, though I can’t imagine that would be enough to sway too many people.

Shhh. Don’t ruin the Peter Cushing-Style cameo from Desi Arnaz telling Dr. Strange he’s got some ‘splainin to do.

It’s a glass case of emotion.

My car beeps at me so much when the seatbelt is not on that I just put it on even if I’m just moving the car a few feet.

I had a previous-gen Jetta “Sport” (2016), and I was a big fan. But the current generation does take some getting used to in the looks department....

The Ford dealership people who called me said I had to “order” a Maverick and put down a deposit. I didn’t want to do that for a truck I hadn’t even seen, but they acted like a no-money-down reservation wasn’t an actual thing.

Having just gone through the legal process to change my son’s name, I have learned that even unopposed, seemingly boilerplate legal filings can be a giant pain in the ass to navigate through the system and it can get expensive really quickly.

We test drove one that was slightly less expensive, and the interior was nice. The materials appeared upmarket and the design was well-done. It was comfortable and roomy and feature-laden (getting all the same features on a new Kia Sorento was thousands of dollars more). It drove fine... like a modern SUV. We didn’t

I almost always buy new (and have almost always bought manual), but there are only so many cars I can buy.

I had a second generation Integra in 1990. It was a good car... even the $14K stripper version I had.

I want four wheel steering that’s controlled by a guy with his own wheel sitting in the back of the truck. Like an old-timey fire engine.

And some elevated highways need to be torn down.

Just screen ‘Conquest of the Planet of the Apes’ for them and they’ll be so afraid of their dogs and cats dying from a pandemic and leading to a future where everybody has to live in Century City, they’ll get the vaccine.

Centering is the thing now, apparently, not only on VWs but over at Nissan and Hyundai, apparently, too.

I certainly understand that people might want something else from a vehicle, but it does get annoying when the thing you want from a vehicle ceases to be offered (not that I want a stripped down truck myself)

My Dad had an ‘85 Mustang Convertible (he owned it in ‘86-’87) that looked just like this one, though it did have air conditioning. He bought it just to have a cheap convertible around to have fun in, drove it maybe four times, and then sold it to get an ‘88 Calloway Corvette convertible.
