I love that the underhood arrangement is in the shape of a V8. Classy!

Take your car, find a CPO used car you like, have the car dealer buy out the remainder of your lease, you get a “new” car for probably about what your buyout would be. Then, never lease again.

Leasing while deciding to buy it out at the end can be a legitimate strategy. Some incentives are lease-only, and the money factor can be significantly lower than financing rates. Plus, there is an easy escape in case the car sucks or circumstances change.

Why have automotive manufacturing jobs been going to Mexico, Canada, and other countries? The answer is the UAW.

Hell, there’s already an actual northwest passage opening up around the northern tip on Canada that can reduce some huge shipping trips by a month.

I thought the merc in the headline pic for this article was a BMW.  huh!

And when I first saw the article image I thought it was a BMW.  

I’m not crazy right? They just drove it around the block to mess with Hammond I think. Was it the road trip to Bonneville episode?

Let’s see them try that on my 2014 Ram.

That’s something all car makers need to think hard about these days. The place to be info-tained with systems that take my eyes down onto a computer panel (or even absorb my mind to figure them out) is my sofa. Behind the wheel, my job is to drive, with my head in the game and my attention on the road and traffic. …

Touchscreen HVAC controls can eat a dick.

My 85 year old grandmother passed up on a 2014 Legacy Limited because she said “it doesn’t have enough shit n git” and we got her a Buick Regal GS instead.

Watch the next one be a re-badged BMW X7
