I have been pulled over probably as many times as anyone who has been driving for 40 years, but more often than not, I get breaks. My theory is it’s because I am polite, treat them like humans, and are responsive to their questions. I do not give them any reasons to want to search me, and I usually admit I tend to be…

Reliable, comfortable, spacious, isolated from the driving experience, no more than $40,000 and prefers a hybrid. I’ve added reliable because mechanical problems are usually at the top of the list for what non-car people won’t put up with.

Say what you will about the ugliness of the vehicle.... I would take This

Sure, if oil companies stop getting subsidies, then it is a level playing field.

This is an atrocious take. The Flex was Ford’s last good crossover. Crossovers now have some of the worst passenger space; which kind of is the main purpose of a crossover (at least that’s what every consumer says). It basically was a minivan without the sliding doors. 

The 1st gen probe/mx-6 GTs were more fun to drive than they deserved to be

Irish person here: 1983, we introduced a constitutional ban on abortion. Badly, flawed wording, so in 1992, we had to confirm the right to travel and right to information. A stronger ban was attempted in 2002, but narrowly failed. Finally in 2018, we managed to repeal the 1983 amendment. By a 2:1 ratio. In an…

fuck you, leave

I’ll take my early ‘98 build, low optioned 996 over a non-GT 997 any day of the week. Lighter, easier to work on, fewer electronic nannies. And the fried eggs look as good as they did on the GT-1.

hey look, someone trying to be funny and failing miserably

As far as I’m aware, Brandy Bottone uses she/her pronouns. She did a segment live on CNN, and seemed comfortable with the anchor using those pronouns. If she’d rather use an alternative, I’m happy to update the article.

Theres probably ~50m ppl who make ~100k+ a year in this country. But speaking as one of those ppl id never in my fucking life pony up for a car payment like that.

I firmly believe that 99% of accidents can be avoided if you pay attention to your world. The guy above us that got hit by a red light runner? Had he looked both ways before going through the intersection, that wouldn’t have happened.
Left turning people that SMIDSY? There are things you can do to get their attention.

Mr. Barger’s rough and anarchic manner belied a disciplined entrepreneurial streak. He promoted his renegade brand, carefully marketing Hells Angels-themed T-shirts, yo-yos, sunglasses and California wines. He registered trademarks on club logos and designs, and retained an intellectual property rights lawyer to…

I mean, this seems like a pretty big rabbit hole, but sure. Other car companies (and companies in general) have awful CEOs and employees. VW execs knowingly sold vehicles that polluted and caused harm to people (not to mention the whole Nazi thing, and you can include Ford in that too), so did Chrysler, GM knew about…

As a Tesla owner - the biggest thing that would be keeping me from getting a non-Tesla is the fast charging network.

This. Volvo checks all the boxes of rugged yet refined. You have to go much farther up the ladder to find better.

The Jeep and the Baja don’t cut it. Neither dresses up well. The Land Rover does work - a very, British Aristocrat sort of sensibility to it. I actually think you could go with an older with a Defender 90 or 110. Just get a tweed jacket, a Viszla hunting dog and a pipe. You might look out of place in Florida, but…

I believe they use some type of Croc sandal
