The was a QOTD back in early May titled “What Car’s Special Edition Wasn’t Really All That Special?”. Somehow this one slipped through the cracks and would’ve taken the the #1 spot on that list, hands down.

If I told Elon that I am a parent of a non-binary child, which sits on neither, or both, or anywhere on the cis/trans spectrum, I wonder if his head would explode?

I would be more impressed if Porsche instead used their engineering wizardry to reduce the form factor to the size of a Series S.

$5 or so in mixed change in the tiny and otherwise useless storage cubby next to the steering wheel. I’m not sure why, because I know deep down I’ll never use it, and it usually grows by about $0.25/year. But like the plastic bag collection under the kitchen sink and the closet full of unused hangers, it gives me…

That intro cinematic looks like it’s setting up a story mode, like some kind of Need for Speed, but far more depressing (in the traditional sense, not in the “it’s so bad it’s making me depressed” way). It’s hard to parse out exactly what’s going on there, but maybe something like: kid grows up with car…

Considering how much Lucid is struggling in the premium sedan market, it’s surprising another EV startup would attempt the same.

I really don’t get Chevy and their SUV lineup. I put together some back-of-the-napkin math, and if you are just looking at it from a base price-per-cargo volume perspective (which I get is only one of many ways to compare them), the Trailblazer and Blazer represent the worst value of the bunch, with the Trax and…

Edit: “VTEC”, not “VTECH” (derp)

For me it was the 9th gen Honda Accord Sport (6 spd). Having owned various Hondas with manual transmissions over the years, I expected a well put-together car that I could chuck into corners and wring every RPM out of the VTECH engine. Problem was, by then the Accord had grown into a veritable land yacht, and any…

Y’all have changed your mind a bit in the past two months, although the blue and green are still at the top despite switching places in the ranking.

Yeah, I don’t really get it, either. The lyrics to her songs, especially the newer ones, seem like they were generated out of a “write a pop song that will appease the masses” ChatGPT prompt.

Image how many trucks would be needed if she wore pants. My kid went to her concert in Chicago a couple weeks ago and, from what I saw in every video and picture on their phone, she never bothers to wear any.

Me and a buddy of mine were in college at the time South Park was still in it’s infancy and, at least to us, hilarious. In one of the episodes of Season 3, South Park was celebrating it’s “Bay of Pigs Memorial Dance” with a guest performance by Dio playing Holy Diver. We thought the bit was so funny I went and bought…

Funny, wall outlets are the first thing that came to my mind as well. I mean, can you imagine having to take an outlet adapter with you to work because your house is on the other side of the state line dividing two states with different voltages?

I’ve never tried it in person, but I agree and seems fine to me. I almost never roll down any of them except for the front driver’s side window anyway.

Question: For the window switches, are they similar to the ID.4 where if you double-press the REAR button it will allow you to roll down all four windows at once?

I loved the TG review of the Tesla Roadster where it ran out of battery on the track. It’s just crazy to see how far they have come since the days of being a scrappy startup (although reliability concerns still dog them a bit). 16 hours to charge a battery that was only good for 55 miles is a far cry from the 300+…

I’m trying to figure this out, too. A couple days ago it was two different editors, so maybe they’re spreading the love? Most of these new “Morning Shift” articles are even classified under the “News” category, so it’s really not so much a summary of automotive happenings anymore, just more news articles. I’m…

The mid-to-late aughts Nissan Quest interior was garbage. Not only did the center console look like a plasticky R2D2, but the instrument cluster was an eyesore (not to mention hard to read while you were driving), and the whole thing was an ergonomic nightmare. We had these as company fleet cars and I assure you, the…

I’m a little curious what the soundbar audio system sounds like. Is it anemic, or is there a sub mounted in the back somewhere to give it some warmth? Does having dash-mounted only speakers improve or hurt imaging? Is it removable like the 2024 Tundra’s JBL Flex so the youths can keep the party going at the charging…
