We both know that a fleet truck buyer is a different buyer than a retail truck buyer.

You ever heard of “making it rain” in the club? Okay, well in Buffalo, they “make it snow.” Allow me to explain. When a man has very special feelings...

I can speak on this, because I had a contract with a certain automotive manufacturer from Dearborn, and my machine learning application was built to model psychographic profiles in buying segments. (Along with predicted creditworthiness.)

If the mileage was lower...

Bradley, I need to tell you something. Crazy people have taken the ‘Busa engine, and re-engineered it. It’s now a compact V8, with a custom block.

Being a degenerate like I am, I’d just say “fuck it” and run a Newports in Newports social media promo on TikTok, and get all the youngsters showing off their menthols.

This got me to thinking about the world’s biggest rooms you could try setting a speed record inside. The problem (of course) is that most warehouses have stuff in them, and even removing the stuff and all those racks is a pain.

Turns out, “The Middle” is actually the part of the road Springsteen was driving on.

I recently found out that Yamaha also made the engine for the original SHO Taurus, and I was like... "What? Ford and Yamaha?"

Black Box pinot noir is actually pretty decent.

I know this is going to come as a strange concept to you, but this is what some of us would refer to as a “reliable daily driver.” Hear me out for a moment, because I think I may help you see the light...

Once upon a time, Toyota had cool engines. The 2ZZ-GE 1.8L VVTL-i engine in the Celica GT-S from the early 2000s was a screamer, and it could compete with any Honda VTEC.

I wonder what the appetite is today for a four-pot burner like the WRX. The low water mark was 8,000 units back in 2010, and the high water mark was 35,000 in 2015.

My mind is just blown that Alpina has more than one wheel design. I feel like that wheel is how you know it’s an Alpina. Yeah, Alpina on the decklid and all that, but... the wheels.

I think this is the correct price for a museum quality truck. The reason so few of these survived is self-evident: These were well before the King Ranch, Platinum, and Fuck You, Pay For This Blue Oval Bitch™ trim lines.

Alpina did a Z8? I don't even wanna know the price on that. 

It’s hard to think of another OEM that only uses one wheel design. Alpina has changed many things over the years, but they settled on the correct wheel design early, and stuck with it.

Dare I say I prefer the looks of the Audi over the Porsche? This is the most German looking car I have seen in a long time. The whole thing looks like it was carved from a single block of aluminum.

Resurrect old names, and see what you can do in the EV market. Seeing how they’re essentially a dead brand anyway, Stellantis might as well use them as a do-over.

Let's grab a beer when this pandemic is over.
