Rovers are legitimately nice cars for the proper, well-heeled. A Hummer is the wet dream of a middle manager dealing with a four inch pecker and the occasional ED staying up at night watching “Girls Gone Wild.”

Hummer is popular with men for the same reason Viagra is popular with men. Sense of inadequacy is the best way to sell to the insecure. The H2 could have been even more of a success if it came with truck nuts as standard equipment.

Here’s a life hack no one thinks about: the best way to get good at job interviews is to go on job interviews when you are not really looking for a new job. Go to interviews for jobs that you know are in the same field as what you are doing, but you won’t take it even if they offer it to you, because the pay is too…

There’s a difference between good noise that’s music and just plain noise pollution. Yo Yo Ma playing the cello is music. Tommy practicing the cello next door and thrashing the strings is noise pollution.

The basics need to be covered first. No mufflers? Automatic fine. I think that’s fair. Removing mufflers altogether doesn’t yield performance numbers. You are just going loud for the sake of going loud. And once you go past 4000rpm, it sounds like shit. It sounds like fat guy screaming because the donuts were taken…

The short-sightedness will come back and bite them in the ass later. Not to say that a natural disaster is a good time to boost your image, but if you display good corporate citizenry, positive image is almost a freebie. Offer deep discounts on your bread and butter cars that you know will sell well next year, and…

This is truly a vapid example of what minivans are available in the 2000s, and even today, in the US. The days of quirky, functional, alternative methods of “cool” minivans are gone. Now we get vans with tumor-like foreheads, and Chevy Suburban-level intelligence when it comes to space use and functionality. This van…

Valley BMW in Modesto, CA. I wasn’t looking to get a CPO, but they offered it to me right before I signed the papers, and for all of that, plus an 18-month extended coverage on top of the original warranty of the car was worth it. I never had to use the warranty.

If you get been to China, you’ll know everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, has their faces buried in the screen. It doesn’t matter if they are eating, riding on the bus, or walking. Screen attached to the face. Put more potholes in that country, and just give them free phones as an apology. They’ll do their own part in…

Depends on the brand, too. I bought a BMW CPO, and I was very pleased with it. For an extra $1,200, the car was delivered to me with a fresh set of brake pads, new tires, and the rear seat back from Germany, because the thread was loose. The service advisor showed me, which I wouldn’t have even used it to try to lower…

The Ridgeline does get better gas mileage if you get the FWD version. The naysayers of FWD trucks can piss off. If FWD vehicles can carry a load, 80%+ of the world would be in trouble with their silly FWD cars. If you get the AWD version, then I hope you do use it. I certainly won’t need it.

I’m a huge fan of the Ridgeline. Not the old ones, because that looks like dog shit. But the new one looks much more refined, and it’s a truck most of us will ever need. It gets better gas mileage, doesn’t ride like a farm vehicle like most trucks do, and Honda reliability. It doesn’t invite the douchecannons that…

Wranglers, other than the fire issues, and the mismatched fender incidents by pothead UAW morons, are probably some of the most reliable vehicles on the road, especially the current generation. As for your HU, I wouldn’t get the GPS, as I have GPS on my phone, and I would swap out the basic HU anyway for something…

Neutral...Chinese anything would ruin a brand for me. I want a Wrangler for my next car, and if the sale goes through, I’m buying a Wrangler next month. Buying anything Chinese, even if it’s legit, still feels like buying a knockoff.

Teresa and her team are rockstars in the industry, IMO. Very few cars on the road today actually have that premium feel without being premium cars, and Mazda is one of them, and VW is another. I have been in a current gen Mazda 3, and it’s one of my favorite rental cars. Mechanically, it feels balanced, and the…

I live in SoCal. I’m fortunate enough to have a decent sized garage, but I can fit a Colorado crewcab, or a Honda Oddysey, and that’s about how long the garage will accommodate. Like you, I won’t budge on parking my cars inside. I think it’s insane people shove a bunch of shit in their garage, and leave their second…

I am envying at how deep your garage is. Mine fits a first gen Tahoe four door, but with inches to spare with the door closed.

Some fucker with really poor taste actually bought the H2 recently used, judging from the recent plate number. Either that or someone stole his plate. Why anyone wants to own a pile of shit like the H2 or H3 I’ll never understand.

Pneumonia is something I will never take lightly again. My Dad, like Clarkson, almost died from it as well. He was 70, but in good health, and worked out and jogged every day. Then I got a frantic phone call from his girlfriend in the middle of the night, and when I showed up at the hospital, there were tubes sticking…

Gorgeous car, but not worth $50k. It makes sexy sounds, an the body style is one of the bette looking Ferraris from the 90s. However, this still has the interior that was assembled by drunken chimps, and the ergonomics was s designed for 14-year old gymnasts. The performance numbers on this car is no better than a…
