Using your phone as a key.

Jimmy Kimmel summed it up neatly:

Congress being GOP means that the has a has clearer path on new laws he’d like to pass; Mitch indicated the filibuster isn’t going anywhere, but he’s not going to be Senate Majority leader, so who the fuck knows what happens.

1st Gear: You forget that Trump and his minions have already categorized his promised 100% and 200% tariffs as “metaphorical tariffs.”

Sealed beam headlights might have been shit, but at least they were cheap and pretty easy to replace.

How much of that gas is actually used and how much just leaks out somewhere? 

Being Manhattanites, my ex and I rented cars for trips many times over the decades we were together. I drove, so invariably we pulled over and I jumped out to see where the gas cap was on our way back to the rental place.

Most insurance policies have a clause stating they will not pay out in the event the vehicle is used for a crime, and deliberately running someone off the road definitely sounds like a crime.  I wouldn’t be surprised if all the insurances involved refused to pay out.

In this case, yes, the Turo insurance should cover this, IMHO (but I would not be surprised if they worm their way out of it). The insured is the owner of the truck, they are in the business of renting them, and it’s not like you can vet who is going to decide to be a vigilante with your truck. So Turo should pay out…

Chrysler, there’s no reason for this brand to exists anymore. They only have the aging Pacifica that could easily be sold as a Dodge, and that fossil they call the 300 that is probably already out of production.

Saw a new-looking Jimny last week in Park City, Utah with current Utah plates!

As a certified Space Nerd, I have to go with Subaru. “Subaru” is the Japanese name for the star cluster called the Pleiades, and that’s what’s on the logo. It’s somewhat stylized; the current logo is not a very accurate depiction. Earlier variants of the logo were a bit more accurate to the positions of the stars in…

Nonsense. It’s vandalism full stop. If a town wants to set up a blank wall specifically for graffitti artists go for it. On all concrete structures? NFW. Graffitti in public places that aren’t designated for such is destruction of someone else’s property.

My favorite so far is Frail Blazer.

DepLorean.

GM’s Diesel sedans from the 1980s.  Also, GM’s 4-6-8 V-8s and their boat anchor, the Iron Duke 4-cylinder engine.  Both of those made any vehicle pretty bad to own or drive.

I think the Scouts look great and the brand can conceivably help VAG to return to health. But VW is going to have to have a total revamp of their mass market offerings. They can’t rely on a brand with an entry cost north of 50K to bail them out. They need an eco system that appeals to entry level buyers to create…

“ If Chinese EVs start showing up on our shores, our domestic automakers might have to start making better cars that sell for less money in order to compete.”

I already said it before and I gonna say it again
