This isn’t 2008 when you were driving a 17mpg SUV instead of a 24mpg car... you’re driving a 25mpg crossover instead of a 28mpg car,

Don’t forget about Art. When you lease a Cadillac its for “art and science”

1. The problem is consumers are suckers. They watched the kayak commercial and raced out and bought adventure vehicles that seat seven to haul their tubby asses to work. They listened to the booming voices of uber men telling them that they can overcome their desk job bodies and masculinity issues by driving a giant…

I drove for uber for exactly enough rides to take a venture capitalists bonus. Then promptly stopped when I was not able to pull in at least $20/hr.

That doesn't sound like anyone got ripped off.

I have a 2007 Q7. Top of the line...just a beautiful rig. However, we are now on the 4th instance of sunroof drain failure since 2011, extending well back into our factory warranty period. Most recently, in May of 2014, I had the drains replaced out of pocket following a Technical Service Bulletin on the issue. Now,…

End. Of. Discussion.

That's a pretty great little collection!

Congrats...great color!

My diesel Golf gets 50 and rolls coal. ;)

Well, if I wanted to spend my life as an auto mechanic and buy a garage full of tools I might enjoy that. But even then you generally can't diagnose problems without disassembling things more than you would be able to before you own it.

"The car as it sits is worth at least 2.5x what I have into it."

Woohoo, I'll take the redhead. Lol

Uh, yup. Isn't it amazing to watch a heteronormative culture satirize itself without even knowing it?
