You’re obviously exaggerating.

The Caliber is the saddest modern car I've ever driven. Kudos on the reference!

See, THIS is the kind of sophisticated juvenilia I come here for. Thank you.

It sounds like your dealings with them have gone better than those my coworkers and I have had. I don’t doubt there are plenty of fine people working there with the best of intentions, but there’s a sense of “taken on a life of its own” about the organization.

Took me one VW and a Porsche to learn.

Nothing would surprise me from CARB. They’ve never allowed things like “technically viable” or “meets customer needs” to get in their way before.

Your Tesla display is an old example, the current version is more efficient and does away with the faux analog for the most part.

I’d also like to know if anyone bought a Jeep Compass, so I can laugh at them.

You're the voice of reason.

Great writeup, Tom.

Thanks to you and the crew for keeping us entertained (and sometimes even informed)!

That is a damn nice Firebird. Wow.

Spikes come out and you die?

Well sure, but -you- have the talent to draw your -own- adorable yeti walking a hot dog around a snow globe. The rest of us could only dream...until today!

Wow. Once again, well said.

I wish I could give this more than one star.

“double oopsie!”

Had an X5 myself, and similar experience. Loved driving that thing, when it all worked. Which wasn't often.
