“The New Batmobile Looks Like An Old Barracuda With An RV Engine In The Trunk”

This of course leads me to a great story idea for Jalopnik: “What’s the most dumbass thing you’ve done to your own car?”

I mean...David...come on...You’ve done amazing things mechanically with these old, decrepit jeeps and you’re very mechanically inclined, but then you let water just freeze inside the block?

Ew

My biggest hope (which may be fixed) is that street names no longer disappear when zooming in. There’s nothing more annoying and counter-intuitive than zooming in to read the street name only to have it just go away.  

I see a few every day, and my eyes will never be the same

Could’ve been much worse—prove you have zero creativity by slapping a Martini livery on your GT:

Minus the space efficiency, too.
