My wife and I are only 6 years apart, but she has no idea about the outside world as I drive because she is constantly staring at her phone. I remember “going for a drive” was an activity. If the weather was nice, you’d roll down the windows, listen to the radio and just drive around the area, especially if you lived…

Misery loves company. All parents say the same thing. “Oh, it’s different when it’s yours.” “You’ll change your mind some day.” Then you hear them talking with other parents about how miserable they are.

Good ole “fish butt.” I feel your pain. In my line of work I smell some horribly stinky humans (usually of the homeless variety) and fish butt still smells worse to me.

I am convinced that minivans are the toughest vehicles ever built. Their lot in life is to be abused and ignored as nothing more than a family appliance. I used to work at a used car dealership and minivans were always the most filthy, disgusting, smelly and neglected biohazards on the road. They were lucky if they…

I don’t see Cavalier Ct. so this does not apply to me or my glorious vehicle past.

I know nobody can seem to go more than 8 hours without being intoxicated in some way anymore, but how about banning alcohol on commercial flights? It usually doesn’t bring out the best in people and when you’re in hour three over the Pacific Ocean, you can’t exactly pull over and kick the drunk off.

I just leased a 2017 SR5 Access Cab 4x4 this week. I’ve never leased a vehicle before, but had been thinking about it since we trade back in (and lose a ton of money) so often. The salesman suggested the lease. He said all the salesmen at his dealership lease theirs as well.

If the road is level, I will put my car in neutral at a stop light and take my foot off the brake. That way I can take my feet off the clutch and brake for a few seconds. I’m not on my phone during the red light, so as soon as I see it turn green (if I’m a few cars back) I’m right back into 1st and ready to go.

I’m amazed at the phenomenon of traffic slowing while cresting a hill. Like they are driving off the edge of the world or something. It’s not just one or two idiots either. It seems to be the whole pack. Cruising at 75 mph all lanes suddenly slow to 35 mph. Crest a slight hill and off to the races we go again.

I pretty much avoid the right lane that passes by the Trader Joe’s. TJ customers are some of the worst I’ve ever seen. It’s like they’ve never seen a parking lot before and are completely baffled by what to do next. One will pull in with another following them into the lot. The first car will just get the rear tires…

When I went to buy my 3 Series Coupe I told the salesman, “I want the manual transmission and I don’t want white, black or silver.”

Sorry, the format got all screwed up and then it posted it anyway when I tried to delete it. The jist was that sales tax rates vary depending on which city you live in. How can CarMax automatically add in a sales tax percentage that may not be accurate?

based on where you live. In my count

Seriously. I think you can get a brand new one for $14,000. I don’t understand people’s fascination with CarMax.

To somewhat quote Dave Chappell’s SNL monologue, “Ah, I just got this tax refund! I didn’t even know you was possible!”

I always walk up to the rental counter with such hope and optimism and I end up disappointed ever.damn.time. I know there’s such thing as “rental spec,” but my god, rental cars, in general, are such putrid pieces of crap. I literally get angry driving most rental cars.

They couldn’t at least put the Shell logo on level? That drives me crazy when they line it up with the belt line instead of putting it on straight.

I ordered an ‘07 BMW 328i Coupe from the factory (mainly because I wanted a manual transmission and I didn’t want white, black or silver exterior paint.) It was my first brand new car exactly the way I wanted it. This car is directly responsible for staving me off German luxury cars for life. I’ve never had a more…

I find it funny how our economy works. New vehicles are ridiculously expensive, even at the lowest levels. When people decide that they can’t afford that and stop buying them the industry freaks out. “OMG, nobody’s buying new cars! The economy’s going to collapse!” Then when people do finance these ridiculously high…

You mean people get embarrassed when they make poor decisions and don’t like being told, ‘I told you so,’ after it’s too late to do anything about it? Who would have thunk?
