Do you need the Waaaaaaaambulance?

Yes. What a horrible thing to have someone give you feedback that might actually make your ‘articles’ better. So sorry that you are so broken, that your only response is to be a bully.

I am complaining about the fact that there are not solid, simple, boring photos of the car. This kind of crap photography is pervasive on this site.

Pretty sure behavior like this is a result of the “everyone gets a trophy” mentality that is prevalent among children’s sports teams. God forbid someone tell Bradley that something he did wasn’t perfect!

Why do I have to scroll through 11 photos and more then halfway through the review before I get to a photo that gives me at least a general idea of what the entire car looks like? 

Wait for the crossover Red Bull Extreme Air Race Surf Open Invitational.

We got lucky with ours. Had a deposit on one at a local dealer and was ready to wait 2 months. The next day, my wife took her Hyundai in for service in a different town and in the sister Toyota dealer was a Prime XSE sitting there. They gave us a great trade number for her Veloster and didn’t mark up the Prime. Happene

Me neither; my wife just bought a RAV4 Prime and loves it. Back and forth to town is about 15 miles, so daily running around is all electric, kicks over to a hybrid when that battery is empty so there are no concerns about long drives (averaged about 45 MPG with 4 passengers, fully loaded trunk, and 4 snowboards on

Electric Bicycle Incentive Kickstart for the Environment Act, or E-BIKE Act

My wife just bought a RAV4 Prime (the plug in hybrid), so far it is great, but personally I find searching for a charger in the wild, going through the motions of turning it on with the app on my phone, plugging it in, and getting what ever charge I get out of it is a PITA, so towing something would be even more

You mean put the turbine into your Lexus LS. Right? 

This happened to us a bunch years ago, and not being one to travel internationally much (or really anywhere this past year!), I don’t know if it is still like this where they have to be notified or if it is a more seamless process or if plans need some type of international coverage.

Touche, but if someone puts a piece out for public consumption where there is a comment section, it is open to critique. If the article is really broken down, there is nothing of substance in it except for a clear dislike of Nebraska and the fact that the author has anxiety issues; both of which could have been

don’t over-rely on the phone. Unless you have a dedicated GPS unit in the car, you WILL hit stretches that have no service and cant bring up google maps. carry up to date paper ones as a back up if you arent riding with a Garmin or Tom Tom.

Sorry, but am I the only one who came here hoping for actual notes on driving across America instead of a crap article on why the author had a panic attack in Nebraska? Pretty sure you could have probably even gotten a series of articles about the trip published here. 

After college (early 2000s), I relocated from an urban area to a rural area, and needed to buy my first car. I knew I wasn’t going to be happy with something new because what I would have been able to afford would have been boring as hell. So, I set my eyes on used car dealers which offered more interesting imported

First gen Honda Insight. Too bad we just got rid of ours last year, after 21 years and almost 300k miles, it was ready for an overhaul. 

Interesting article.

I was genuinely interested in the Volvo subscription, but alas it is not allowed in New York. But maybe that will change.

When I was about 12 years old, my father had been looking at Ford Broncos to tow his fishing boat with. He had an F-150 at the time that was starting to get to the point of needing replacement. The truck was also 2WD and we had had some troubles getting the boat out of the water a few times. Now, my father is one of
