Do they sign up for pilot school thinking they’re going to be Maverick, but are only good enough to fly a cargo plane full of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong?

They are “limited” to how many Hyundai can build and sell. Technically every car is limited.

We rented one when we flew to Austin for the F1 race in 2019 (trying to blend in with high society.) I wasn’t all that impressed with it. Even if I could afford to buy a new one, there’s a lot of other options I would look at in the $100,000 range long before considering an Escalade.

What? The scorpion trim level comes in white, black and silver?

He certainly comes across as prime sovereign citizen material.

We built a circle track street stock out of a 1977 Camaro. Those chrome bumpers were so heavy that we had to use a floor jack to hold them up in place to bolt them on.

As a child in the mid 1980's, I was absolutely in love with the IROC-Z.  My parents took me to the Camaro/Firebird assembly plant in Van Nuys, CA and we toured the factory.  I was around 5 years old at the time, but I still distinctly remember watching them flog every single one of the minutes-old cars off the line to

We had a salesman in the backseat during a test drive reading the car’s features from their website off his phone.

Just swap two of the stripes. It’ll still be the sponsor’s colors, but not a blatant attempt to circumvent the rules. If Haas and Mazepin are resistant to that, then you know what their true motives were and ban the entire livery.

And no plastic cladding? Pfft!

I recently bought a 2017 Genesis G90 and not once has anybody I know or work with guessed correctly what brand it is. When I do explain what it is, only a handful have ever heard of Genesis. I personally like the anonymity and mystery of having a car that no one knows, but I’m sure I’m in the minority.

That wasn’t necessary.

I’ve never really noticed that meme before.  Is he going down the front stretch at Sebring the way that thing is bouncing around?

I usually tell them, “Ok, well, I’m hungry so I’m going to go grab a bite to eat.  Give me a call when the finance guy is ready.”  Magically he’s ready right away.  Can’t have me leaving and getting second thoughts on signing.

I’ve posted this story before on Jalopnik, but I don’t think I posted it on Tom’s most recent article. I had a three year old BMW 328i Coupe that spent more time in the shop for warranty work than in my garage. I wanted to dump it and get something more sensible. I was considering a Nissan Altima Hybrid, but hadn’t

$4,500 for a bone stock, well taken care of Escort GT?  Absolutely.  For this Frankenstein patchwork mess?  No dice.

Nissan:

Every middle-aged working person in America waiting for that old codger in the office to retire so we can finally move up felt this one.

Is “Here I Go Again” a driving song, or do people just assume that because of the music video?

Is Nickelback overrated? I thought they were like the McDonald’s of rock/pop. Nobody admits to liking them, but they sell a billion albums somehow.
