Kotaku: Elden Ring Reviews, News, Tips and More.

That door-mounted speaker with no grille looks like an accident waiting to happen.

Tom, here’s a question that I’ve been curious about for a while. In the above example, the “no haggle” dealership was offering only $600 off sticker, while the other dealer came back with $1,800 off the sticker.  While it would certainly seem that the traditional “haggle inclusive” dealership is offering the better…

I think the wheels dovetail nicely into today’s QOTD.  Those certainly aren’t the prettiest design I could think of on a $350k+ car.

The wheels on some trims of the latest-gen CR-V. There’s something about them that just looks...off. Is it going for some kind of flower pattern, maybe? Regardless, it’s can’t bring any sunshine to that grumpy and consternate front fascia, which looks disturbingly like Bait, the glow-toad from The Dragon Prince.

This is also further obfuscated by how they are classified at rental car agencies. Having worked many years at one, their objective is to upsell you into a larger car, so they often “downgrade” the size as a psychological trick to make you think the vehicle is much smaller than it actually is.  Your proposal is much…

I smell another dealer markup coming...

A cheap Honda or Toyota is the best automobile for your money.

The Need for Speed movie. Good god that was awful.

Little Red Corvette by Prince?

I drive a beige Toyota Camry, and I thought that was the most tepid car around. But then I remembered that Camrys are “grounded to the ground”, so us owners do have that superior, Formula-1 level of handling over the HR-V.

Black Metallic by Catherine Wheel. Some think lead singer Rob Dickenson is referring to a previous lover. He’s not. It refers to a 1968 Camaro he had imported in the 80's.

If Jalopnik does that, will all the proceeds from their ad revenue go towards getting the lead singer of Motley Crue out of jail?

The first thing I “fixed” was turning my boring stock Dodge Neon into a sweet “chick magnet” (this was acceptable slang in the mid-90's) by adding neon underglow! (Spoiler Alert: It didn’t work)

The interior looks nice, but I’m not feeling the earring-looking controls dangling from the steering wheel.

Idea for a Forgotten Cars article: the Honda Civic del Sol.  I wanted one SO BAD when I was in high school...especially with the 5-speed and that lime green color (NOT the teal color that adorned later models...the Civic coupe I ended up with instead was that color and it did not hold up well).

Anyone remember the success stories that were the Cadillac Escalade EXT and Lincoln Blackwood? Exactly. Just sayin...

Missouri: not going when a light turns green, and/or accelerating too slowly from the stoplight. Seriously, you have one job to do, and you’re not the only one that wants to get through the light before it turns red again!

Live-action Cowboy Beebop?

Me: *shrugs shoulders*...dusts off old copy of GT4.
