My daily round-trip commute is 61.3 miles, I just discovered.

I’ve seen worse Cadillacs.

I got a then-new 200 as a loaner car when one of my cars was in the shop. I was surprised with how nice it was, but I didn’t have it long enough to develop any kind of in-depth opinions.

Yes. Strategic marriages and birth order among the inbred royal family is far more civilized.

What would be the good context for telling women to dress more modestly to avoid sexual assault?

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.

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.

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