It's not so much that we need to drink more, which is what a lot of people tend to take away from these kinds of stories, it's that we need to replace most of the other stuff we drink throughout the day with water instead.

Crap I'm stuck in a dream and can't snap out of it!!

Most disproportionate headlights ever?

Who the hell in the design lab approved that face? Man, that front end is butt-fucking ugly! Sad when a new vehicle looks dated before it's even released. Nissan's flirting with Aztec territory on this one.

All I see are detail shots. Any wider ones? Plastic's fine as long as it doesn't scuff practically every time I try to wipe dust off of it.

holy hell that's amazing

Can we all agree that warming up a modern car in most normal winter conditions (not anywhere near the Great Lakes or Canada) doesn't need to happen for 10-15 minutes, though? I usually let mine sit for 1-2 minutes if it's in the 20s-30s, ONLY to let the fluids circulate completely through the system. I don't care…

It took me almost two hours to drive 13 miles to the Capitol for work this morning. I was in a brand new Explorer with snowflake mode turned on. And I was sliding around like a motherfucker the whole way.

Funny you should ask.

Really? Because I've always dreamt of owning a RWD car. Then, last weekend, a '97 M Edition Miata in like brand new shape (95k miles) showed up, and I bought it. And it's every bit as good as I imagined it would be.

Nothing's worse than the guy who talks trash about your car, but doesn't have anything but a beigemobile for himself.

Fuck it, I'm buying an NA Miata!

30?! I wouldn't even give it that much.

Five bucks says it'll just be a cameo during which he'll steal it from someone to give chase to a bad guy in heavy traffic for all of 55 seconds, then hop back into his yet-to-be-seen $3.4 million Aston one off that will make all the complainers tinkle their sheets when they go home.

...to which I beg the question: What car doesn't look amazing in white? Man, I love white cars.

...Star Wars?

Chris— Glad to see you aboard! Can't wait for next week, already!

Sensible thoughts, Doug. But it's nice to dream!

Before I clicked the link, I knew it was going to be Boyd Huppert and Jonathan Malat telling the story. If you've never seen other episodes in their Land of 10,000 Stories series, check them out.

I am a journalist too, so I drive a lot for my job. When I moved to the DC area four years ago, a then-new colleague told me the same thing early on: Virginia does not fuck around when it comes to speeding.
