If Michelin can review restaurants, Gordon Ramsay can do public car stuff.

I just saw a 2020 Tundra listed for slightly more than MSRP on a new one. The seller even had the original window sticker, which showed they were asking 8000 over what it cost new. 2 years and 25,000 miles later.

Trying to get me in trouble at work, I see. I did go to the Porsche configurator. I could get sucked into that for hours. I want that sort of thing for cars I can justify buying.

The current vehicle market is stupid.

I have had an open order (that I no longer see happening) for a Tucson PHEV (at MSRP) since October (after they sold the one that exactly matched the build I had reserved via Hyundai website without contacting me). The dealership recently called me to see if I would be interested in a Santa Fe, instead. I told them I…

Wow. I bought a 2018 EX brand new for 20k. Pretty sure I could have gotten an EX for about 18k-18,500 then, if I had shopped and negotiated.

He also is not switching parties, at least in any meaningful way—he was already donating significantly to the GOP. Even if he did not vote for them, he gave them a lot more support than an individual vote.

Aww, reality sets in. If Jalopnik will at least subsidize, it could be a great feature.

It really looks like an elaborate sales display to me. You don’t want to just display them on trailers, but you sure aren’t going to maintain a huge pool, so you build this.

I hope you pick it up before I make a really bad decision.

And these aren't even fake exhaust tips, just the suggestion of exhaust shapes. I think they look alright.

The lower bumper has two faux exhaust-pipe shapes. It’s dumb, but everyone is doing it now.

Kia seems to be looking at contemporary designs and asking themselves how many manufacturers they can work into mashups. A little Toyota here, some Mitsubishi there, sprinkle a little Subaru occasionally.

I’m looking at moving up from the Niro, and this is a really fair assessment of the whole segment. The Sportage PHEV is going to do everything I need it to, and this segment is not where you go for fun and exciting.

but the power delivery was so mellow, it somehow felt slower than the X-Pro with the base engine.

I won’t bid on that if you don’t bid on the 15th Anniversary Supra (which is almost certainly going out of my price range, but a man can dream).

Yeah, I watch local auctions for hidden treasures, and I would be so disheartened if something like this showed up and went nationwide. But I am also glad to see things like this from all over, so I couldn’t be too bummed.

We made a custom exhaust tip for my Citation. It was cheaper and faster than finding a standard one, but it was very shiny chrome and ridiculous. That’s what happens when you are around commercial truck drivers, I guess.

the Citation was plagued with quality issues and reliability woes.

In-dash DVD player. An early one, with a tiny, ill-proportioned screen. The car had to be running with the parking brake on to use it, and I was in an Explorer. Really wasteful way to watch a movie you can’t even enjoy. I watched approximately 1 minute of a movie to try it and never put a DVD in again.
