I came from a world of performance cars that were lucky to get above 25 mpg on the highway and now I have an A7 PHEV that has averaged about 70 mpg over 3.5 years of use and an X5 diesel that manages 33+ mpg on the highway. I can’t wait to replace the PHEV with a full BEV and while I will likely keep the X5 for a long…

I was on a flight with my family last year where this neurotic flyer was constantly using a cannabis vape throughout the flight. I’m no prude but vaping anything in a confined space, especially in a space with children, old folks, and recirculated air, is a huge no-no. Somehow the flight attendants didn’t pick up on…

Lifting a vehicle to the extent that its bumper sits higher than a bumper of a typical road-legal vehicle.  This makes the road significantly less safe for non-lifted vehicles since the lifted vehicles no longer have crumple zones to help absorb the impact.  When combined with large, wide offroad tires, it compounds…

Apparently NATO already has special weaponry (a few garden hoses) on the way to the Ukranian army to combat this cybertruck technical.

Even their European brands are doing terribly. Maserati hasn’t made a desirable car since it revitalized the Gran Turismo and Quattroporte - the Ghibli and other recent models have been huge flops. I currently have a Tonale rental in Italy right now and while it handles better the more you push it, there is no way I…

And let’s not forget the shoe bomber guy.

This man 100% looks like the CGI rendered version of himself.  

It’s easy to see that the ID.Buzz is significantly more car for the money and you are essentially getting a nostalgic premium minivan whereas the old Type 2 was very much an economical basic people hauler. Even the difference in dimensions are astounding - the new one is more than a foot longer than the original and a…

I think we will see the last manual analog cars from performance and exotic brands continue to increase in value at a faster rate than their automatic counterparts. I have been shopping for a 997.2s and the difference in price between 6MTs and automatics is astonishing.

We can thank these guys for the space lasers...

My brain nearly melted after reading it five times.

The summer trip of 1990 was an important one for our family - it was my brother and my first time on an airplane, our first time going to Disney World, and for my dad, he was most excited about his LeBarron convertible rental. You see, he spent the better part of the 80's driving large Oldsmobiles since he was a sales…

The CyberTruck is not a truck. It is a lifestyle vehicle for influencers and tools.

Bro, it’s totally your fault for loading that tailgate with over 15 lbs of groceries! Next time, put the soda and beer cases directly in the bed so you can avoid additional damage to the tailgate.

Imagine spending 6-figures for something that looks rougher than a 25 year old rusting work truck.

Even if bent, the tailgate panel can still be used to slice vegetables and deli meat due to the razor-sharp seams.

It reminds me of the basic polygon models used for vehicles in early development versions of video games.  You know, before they add real models and skins to the objects.  

Like using a car wash without getting bricked...

Thanks for the good laugh. My work colleagues must think I am crazy for randomly chuckling at the second half of your sentence.
