My opinion is that modern cars are really, REALLY good....for people who don’t care about driving and consider a car an appliance. Which, to be fair, is the vast majority of the car buying public.

This comment that cars are shit today has been said by every generation of old man going back to the 50s.

He’s right though. As cars become more like appliances, less and less soulful cars will exist.

The former “Top Gear” and “Grand Tour” host bemoaned the fact that modern cars are getting too heavy for his liking.

Well, there's also governmental incompetence- we had a bypass highway built into the 90's, just to be sold off on the cheap to a foreign consortium that's kept high tolls on it to the point it's barely used. 

Yup, his older brother (also, their nephew is a member of parliament too).

A Toronto Star report uncovered that a change in the extension’s route put the two new stations on land owned by Ford government backers, sheltering their surrounding luxury condo developments from billions in taxes.

...to relieve the gridlock you add lanes which results in gridlock so to relieve the gridlock you add lanes which results in gridlock so to relieve the gridlock you add lanes which results in gridlock so...

And very carefully not 50 over, because that’s a roadside suspension and immediate impounding.  Since mom and dad paid for the c-class, they really don’t want them to know about their deeds.

I’m not a native Torontonian, but I do make it across the falls and up that way a couple times a year.

It doesn’t need to be said that Doug Ford is an absolute idiot, but it’s always worth saying.

At least some of that is going to be that the US has more, smaller highways. The 401 goes straight from the US to Quebec border, and something like a 3rd of all Canadians live along that corridor (closer to half if you factor in Montreal and Quebec City, as there’s a Quebec Autoroute that picks up right where the 401

The biggest highway in North America not being in the United States is genuinely surprising 

That’s Rig Stig

Let’s not forget that Stig comes from a very large family with cousins across the globe. Big Stig, African Stig, Australian Stig, etc...

“Kamala Harris wants to turn America into Venezuela!” shreiks the candidate also running on a platform of government-controlled commodities pricing, a policy that was at the core of Venezuela’s economic collapse.

Probably by letting insurers sell much worse insurance. I hope all the republicans out there like their corvette (one of only 300 in iron blue metallic, and of those one of only 45 with the cream leather interior, and of those one of only 10 with the brushed aluminum shift knob) getting rear-ended by teenagers with

That one’s actually TRUE.  I worked at a gas station when Dubya was president he personally called me up one day and told me to drop prices a dime.

automobile insurance rates had increased by 73 percent, and said that he would “cut that number in half”

This car is two features away from perfection, rear seat HVAC vents and ventilated front seats, aside from that it’s a grand slam. The value, performance, and efficiency Venn diagram is almost a circle, from what I’ve read about it and from experience with the Civic as well as other Honda hybrids using the hybrid 2.0
