I don’t think that makes you an a-hole, I respect people’s desire not to be tracked and spied on. People should be able to unplug if they want to, though that is getting harder and harder to do. 

There are precious few trucks you can autocross, which makes them awesome. You can haul all of your tires and junk to the track, race, then haul it all home. 

The Fusion Sport was heralded as the poor man’s S4 when it was announced, but when reviewers drove it, they quickly ended that notion. The 300 is the poor mans Fusion Sport, which is not high praise. 

I get that Clarkson is a royal ahole in real life, and makes life difficult for many people, but Clarkson’s Farm is REALLY good. Not so much Clarkson’s BS, but the struggles and joys of farming. Really makes you appreciate where your food comes from. 

To prepare them for putting on over 200,000 miles of service in harsh conditions in war-torn countries, the engines are carefully...left stock. You have to love Toyota reliability. 

Sounds about right for TX, hopefully all of the workers will simply leave and let the residents fend for themselves. Why deal with that and put yourself at risk? 

It was theorized that there was an issue in the software that caused wheels to either overdrive or not drive, creating an imbalance. Kinda like breaking a driveshaft. 

Jerry Seinfeld got to get inside the last Beast with Obama, and film inside, so rules have apparently changed. It does seem like a lot of security for one person, and cost. That makes sense for a dictator or king, but I prefer sending the message that we have a chain of command and knocking off one person won’t slow…

My guess is that “loss of downforce” means “air got under the car”. See Mercedes flip below. 

They cant move the overpriced Raptor Broncos, these should sit on dealer lots even longer. At least Richard Hammond will buy one. 

The only real competitor is the the 7-seat Kia Rondo, which is larger inside and has around 185 hp, but is only FWD. The Toyo is more reliable, but the Kia can be bought for the change in your couch. The Toyota is a fairly attractive CUV, the Kia is...not. So based on that, I’d say its a decent option, but overpriced. 

If you don’t think that mundane Chryslers will all but disappear, see how many Dodge Intrepids you see on the road. If there is an Eagle Vision left in operation, I’d be amazed. 

Wait, so I am at Wal Mart, how am I going to get home? Do I have to stop driving my Jesko immediately? I have ice cream. 

Mazda previewed the Mazdaspeed Protege with a 2-year only version called the MP3, named for its revolutionary stereo system that could play digital music files! 

Compare that abortion with the MK8 Golf GTI, its like BMW is paying designers to make their cars ugly. 

Trucks have been morphing from utility vehicles into status symbols for quite some time, making them all less truck-like. Which means the definition of what a truck is has changed, today they are do-it-all vehicles that offer tons of creature comforts, features, go-anywhere capability, luxury, power, and ability.…

I want all cars to be networked. In this day and age, it is silly that we still see multi-car pileups on the highway because of fog. If a car 10 spots in front of me in heavy traffic SLAMS on the brakes, that should be relayed to all the other cars behind it so that ours can do the same. If I am in stop-and-go…

To swap the battery on My Dodge Intrepid R/T, you had to remove the airbox, a wheel, the wheel well liner, and contort yourself into the fender to get it out. How this was an improvement over the open hood/lift up method that was established by the Model T and has worked well ever since is beyond me.

I have had every rental car you can imagine over the years, but there was only one that I had to return because it was so bad: the Chevy HHR. Visibility was so bad, I did not feel safe driving it. 

My local dealer has about 900 more cars than it can sell on its lot.
