Those things have nothing to do with each other. It’s not about the “capability” of the vehicle. It’s about the image that they portray to the world. Driving a McLaren says “I have more money than you, enough money to throw at this sports car I’ll never take closer than 10% of the way to its limits.” I personally…

I am aware that there are other parts of the country that you drive through or fly over when travelling between New York and Los Angeles, yes.

Suburbans are for foreign dignitaries to be driven in from JFK to the United Nations and back, nothing else.

Ok this is absolutely wild to me - only 2 Lexus dealerships in the entire metro Dallas area? There are 2 Lexus dealerships within a ten minute drive of my house on Long Island; there are at least 30 of them in the NYC metro area as a whole. What gives?

Looks like a Dodge Shadow.

I didn’t say that every vehicle has to always be used to its fullest extent in order to be viable. I’ve spent the last ten years (until buying a Palisade this past weekend) daily-driving a V8 Mustang, and the engine went above 3,000 RPM maybe once a month. There’s nothing wrong with driving a Ford Transit by yourself…

Have they changed the suspension tuning so that it’s actually drivable?

Not here in NYC.

You wouldn’t buy it because it’s a truck. If your truck doesn’t have the logo of your construction / landscaping company on the side of it, then people are making fun of you for driving around in a pickup truck. If you’re driving around in a pickup truck - any pickup truck - that’s not a work truck, everyone around…

I do not know a single person who owns a pickup truck that doesn’t have a logo for their construction / landscaping / whatever company on the side of it. Who in the world would willingly drive around in a pickup if they don’t have to? 

Best headlights are acetylene headlights, on most cars built before 1920.

I’m assuming it’s something like each of these, times two for up/down:

I know you call people like me out, specifically, multiple times in the article, but I just cannot fathom a vehicle like this. Pickup trucks are for people whose jobs require them to haul things around. If you’re driving a pickup truck and rarely / never using it for pickup truck things, you’re a poseur and people…

I’m on Long Island. Back in the 80's, they built a nuclear power plant on Long Island; cost $6 billion. Literally 3 months before it went online, Chernobyl happened, and people realized that it would be virtually impossible to evacuate 8 million people off this island in the event of a nuclear disaster, so the plant…

Like... where? I have to pay to park in a garage a 1/4 mile from my office that has no outlets. Fast charging stations are more expensive than home electricity.

Last tank of gas I bought was $3.87/ gallon.

I recently was in the market for a 3-row crossover. I’ve always bought American, but the Explorer and GM products had interiors that felt that U-Haul rentals, and the Grand Cherokee L when nicely equipped costs more than a house in Ohio. I ended up going with a Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy, and hooooo boy do I love…

His car collection eventually became a mental illness. So many amazing cars utterly destroyed by being left out in the jungle - you read stories of Ferrari F50s with the interior entirely melted from the heat and humidity. 

I thought that cars piping in fake engine noises through the audio system was the lamest thing I would ever hear from manufacturers, but alas.

Flying cars should never go EV. Never want to see your battery die at 5,000 feet.
