Impossible Seal Problem was my favorite Ska Punk band growing up.

Ferdinand Porsche really had more of a Ned Flanders mustache and he hasn’t really said anything offensive since 1951.

I’m never going to be in the market for a $200,000+ car, but I give Hyundai props for understanding the potential value of the halo car. I hope it works out for them.

It took me over 35 years to get over my 1986 Pontiac being such a piece of shit. I didn’t buy another GM car until 2022.

I had to look up how much I paid for electricity at home. And now I’m mad about all the stupid fees they tack on to the bill.

I did have three Volkswagens in a row, but the third one made me regret that choice.

We briefly had a three-row SUV, but we barely used that third row. Even when transporting a 5th person, we’d just put somebody in the middle of the 2nd row.

I had a 1990 Integra automatic sedan. It was not exciting, but I put a lot of problem-free miles on it.

You could try (and probably get away with it), but it would likely be disallowed if the IRS caught it because a car is usually personal-use property, and you can’t deduct losses from the sale of personal-use items. He’d have to make the case that he purchased the car solely as an investment and had no intention of

I think it’s natural to want to downplay the behavior of people who create products that we like, especially when that behavior threatens to punish us, the consumer of the product, by taking away something we enjoy.

As good as? None. But Cadillac was at least trying. The ‘92 El Dorado and Seville were a serious stab at moving Cadillac away from the Bit Boat-era toward a more-European style. And the interiors were not badly done at all, style-wise (they were GM. Of course, they cheaped out in several places).

I have an XT4, and it’s tiny next to an Escalade. There’s a large amount of variation in SUV/Crossover size, though even smaller crossovers like my XT4 are going to be taller, heavier (the XT4 outweighs the CT4 by about 200 lbs, on average) with a higher seating position than the bulk of sedans on the road. I don’t

That Kia EV6 is the shortest Kia crossover/SUV by several inches and rides relatively low to the ground (one could include the Model Y in the not-very-SUV-like-crossover camp, too). As long as people accept cars like that as “SUVs” then the SUV will be fine even if Frenchie’s opinions are correct (which I don’t think

Henry Ford really, really wanted to.

Hard to believe the guy who directed ‘Hot Bot’ would direct a bad movie.

Last time I drove by, there weren’t a whole lot of cars in the apparently-still-open Frisco, Texas car vending machine.

I was 15 years-old, so not a lot of drinking going on. But he did apologize (through laughter because he found the whole thing very funny).

There’s so much overlap between higher trim non-luxury brands and lower trim luxury brands that it can be difficult to decide where the luxury actually begins.

My first car was a 1985 Ford Ranger V6 4x4 I inherited from my Dad. You had to manually lock the front wheels (like, turn the knob on the actual wheel hubs) to engage four wheel drive, but there was nothing in the car that told you the hubs weren’t locked even if you shifted into 4wd.
