I don’t understand carmakers’ fascination with wheel gaps on sedans. On CUV/SUV, I get it. But on sedans? Come on.

I have had a few former coworkers who retired relatively early (in their late 50s/early 60s) and spent a few weeks training to drive a big rig. They’d take their spouses on the delivery trips and told me it was like a paid vacation for them to see places they’ve never been before.

Isn’t that a Nissan in different clothing?

I work in an industry that manufactures its product domestically and is sold globally (a good chunk to China), and we compete fiercely with the Chinese everywhere.

Just call the number and some dude in the Philippines will cancel it for you, then go ahead and subscribe again - I have my WaPo/Amazon accounts linked.

Yelp should only allow reviews of places you've actually checked in and visited. I was surprised to see Elite Yelpers doing this shit and they should have their status pulled.

Tom, have you had a chance to drive the TourX? How does it drive?

I’m willing to bet Tripp was shorting TSLA while doing all this.

Gas mileage?

Torsion bea...I mean beam in the rear? What are we, FiST?

28mpg at best sounds pretty terrible.

I’m from the West Coast and most people from CA to NV/AZ will yield on interstates. On the I-95 up and down NY through VA? Forget it. It’s especially bad in MD where both the I-95 and I-695 are filled with drivers who feel the need for a parking lot cruise on the left lane, and then you’d see many people make…

Exactly. I had a Gen 1 Volt lease and by the time the lease was up I could pick up a similar off-lease car for 3-4 grand less than the residual. I called and tried to negotiate, and they said no. Naturally I got a GTI instead thanks to Tom.
