Because if we’ve learned anything this week it’s that GM is all about cars.

TIL Dodge had an “Adult Toys” division and had a truck named Warlock. America must be made great again.

Redemption for all the shitty compromises I made when I was young. “It’ll be practical!” “Those are so reliable!” “It’s safe!”  Rubbish. I just want a pretty car. That’s it. I don’t need fast, reliable or safe-just something I want to look at again and again.

I’m sorry about Dale too, but c’mon- this is a can of black spray paint and looks as though children have been allowed to decorate it with stickers. No.

Boring color, though

Can we finally put the “W” series (or whatever the all-women formula thing is called now) in the dustbin please? Not sure that anything to do with the Saudis should be sanctioned now, but at least let’s be done with the “no girls allowed” stuff, yes?

A choice: Your Civic (with winter tires) or the CRV (also with winter tires)? I hate this apples to oranges thing that comes up every year. YES, you need winter tires. YES, AWD is better than 2 wheel drive in winter. Can we please not do the same fucking argument every winter jalops?

My son borrowed my 2007 Volvo s60 while he was living in Brooklyn for 6 months. I though he was nuts to have a car there, but then I spent a weekend with him. Instead of taking the subway to the Met, we freakin’ DROVE there like we were royalty (and found free parking 2 blocks away!). Next we skipped public transit

“Let’s see if this one’s current price”  I see what you did there.

Pretty much all manufacturers would love to boast about more power, especially if all they had to do was swap air filters. But they don’t. Is this because A) they have dumb engineers who have never heard of KN? or is it B) the trade off in engine life/ service interval isn’t worth the meager gain in performance.?

True, if you define “moment’s notice” as the roughly one millisecond prior to it all going pear-shaped.

That is one ghastly looking steering wheel. Like a prosthetic body part or something.

Perfect version of the perfect BMW still doesn’t equal 26K, even IF there is an airplane in the background.

Mid-2000s Volvo V70; should be able to get these for $3-4K with AWD, leather heated seats and under 150,000 miles.

These look more like kit cars as they age; part Lotus Esprit, part Ferrari.

Holy Crap, Car Commercials Look Pretty Much the Same, No Matter What Famous Guy Makes Them.”  (BMW mini-filmfest exempted) 

Maybe the boss just needs a different set of bad guys to emulate gov’nor

I love Legos, but don’t understand the whole “car kit” aspect. Legos are square(ish) and the real car is all rounded, so the model will bear only a passing resemblance. Why not build a decent plastic kit and have the satisfaction of making a model that looks like the real thing?

This would be a record price for a Phaeton were anyone to actually pay this amount. Most of them can be had by simply paying off the current owners debt to the VW service department.
