Grille aside, I think its still the best looking SUV design out there IMHO. Elegant, clean, well proportioned, unpretentious, almost timeless design. I also think it looks better than the new electric EX90. Test drove one when we were in the market for a 3 row SUV. Loved everything about it except for one glaring deal…

A buddy of mine runs a high end detail shop and I recently got to see a brand new Model 3 performance that came in for a paint correction and PPF. Body panels didn’t line up, little scratches, fish eyes and nibs in the paint everywhere. Tesla has been manufacturing for over 10 years now and they still can’t get the…

Wow - this is surprising. I met Thomas Ingenlath a couple of weeks ago at a Polestar event and he was super excited about the new factory going online in the US and the future product rollouts. He seemed at the top of his game and really happy with his position as CEO so I wonder if his resignation was a sudden…

If that Benz lived its entire life in the Greenwich area, its probably been babied and garaged. That is one of the richest towns in America.

Is the wing lifting system still operational? Any plans to switch to the electric ram upgrade from Rennkit?

I’d love to see/read about this process. Pretty cool and have not come across this mod before. 

Where’s the article on shaving the rear wing? Curious to read it.

When I was 15 a buddy of mine a few months older got a Yugo brand new off the boat from Yugoslavia. He let me drive it around the neighborhood and it seemed fine, mainly because at the time I didn’t have much to compare it to other than my Dad’s Golf and Peugeot 505 that I snuck out on occasion. Drove it again a…

As a family man with a family hauler, I’d love to see more 3 row electric SUVs and minivans. If and when Toyota builds an EV Highlander, I’ll trade in my 2019. I love the 3.5 NA V6, comfort, all weather capability, and right size for my needs space, but not having to worry about oil changes, sparkplug replacements,…

Location aside, these tech billionaires thought they could use Silicon Valley tactics to push through their plans - move fast, take out the competition through $$, bribery, division, bullying, and deception. As a Bay Area resident my entire adult life, I am soooo happy that plan backfired. They have collectively…

My neighbor in SF got one new and let me ride it on occasion. Only mod was a Supertrap like the one on this bike. It was a fun runabout, light, well balanced, very well built with Honda reliability. But in the end, it was still a thumper, and I’m a V-twin guy (not a Harley V-twin guy). This seller is asking a lot for…

Living in the Bay Area I’ve seen the test vehicles driving around for well over a year before they were on sale. Saw one parked in a Silicon Valley town for the first time and could not believe how bad it was. As I laughingly pointed at the huge panel gaps and stupid wiper, I noticed the driver walking up and glaring…

I’ve been wanting a Jaguar XF Sportbrake - only 250 were imported. I’ve seen only one and that was in the parking lot of a concourse. I never understood why nobody bought them. They look great in person, have lots of power, AWD and practical.

I happen to live down the road from the Hillsborough Concourse and it never disappoints. I have however, noticed a trend where the crowds are getting smaller every year and there are less vehicles. Traditional concourse participants and attendees are getting old so these events must adapt to attract a younger crowd.…

I don’t think there will ever be a perfect car for everyone but for me, the one that came the closest was my 2002 Audi allroad. I know this will raise some eyebrows but hear me out.

Here in the Bay Area Tesla’s are stacked at every stoplight and intersection. Half the kids at our school get dropped off in Teslas. It’s been like this for years but its changing. Now we see a lot of Rivians, Hyundais, Kias, and a few Lucids and BMW i4s in the mix.

Confirming that KAQ is indeed Khadem Abdullah al-Qubaisi. Convicted and jailed for stealing from the 1MBD fund. The ex Malaysian prime minister is also in in the clink while a third accomplice, Jho Low, has been on the run for years, probably hiding out in China. The KAQ Bugattis were registered in Switzerland and…

1977 Peugeot 504 GL sedan in white with a manual. We picked it up from the factory outside Paris. It was an Africa Edition, so it came with uprated suspension, bigger carb, uprated radiator, skid plates, and a bunch of other modifications. Toured with it around Europe for the summer (it got broken into in Rome) and…

A neighbor wanted to get a Baja to replace his Ford Explorer Sport-Trac that partially melted when another neighbor’s home burned down. It would fit his needs and be easier to maintain but I highly recommended the Turbo version over the sluggish NA model. He got the turbo and was very happy hauling ass and antique…

Also live in the Bay Area. It seems like every other car these days is a Model 3 or Y. Often they congregate in groups of 3 or more on roads, school pickup lines, mall parking lots, everywhere. It’s like when Toyota launched the original Lexus LS400 and everyone started calling them Beverly Hills Corollas - These are…
