Isuzu Vehicross. There isn’t even a close second place. It looked bizarre when it was launched and it still looks bizarre today.

Alright, I’m going to take a guess at the final hammer: This is without a doubt, one of the most iconic rally cars of all time.

I mean, what’s a few thousand bucks among friends though, right?

Yeah but... $178,000 is... some heady territory. A base 911 is still under $100,000 (just barely), and it’s also adept at finding felony speeds.

NFT’s are Beanie Babies for tech bros, and I will die on this hill.

Get an Audi R8. I found a few on Autotempest in your $50,000 range, and they’re actually less expensive when they have an automa— ahem... DCT. Two pedals, either way. It’s daily-driver ready, special, still mid-engine, still reliable, and still more fun than replying to your Pro Life cousin on Facebook by commenting,

Finally. Seriously. Car mode should be a thing, beacause so many people drive cars without Android Auto or Carplay, and your phone’s speaker and screen and more than capable of helping keep your attention on the road, rather than a finicky screen.

Hey Owen, that’s not a biscuit!

Forkner is now employed with Trojan, selling their new brand of fishnet condoms. They’re safe*.

Wow, I don’t know why I was expecting these dealers to be ethical, but... just wow.

The old H-body cars will always have a special place in my heart. American highway sleds from the 90s ended up surviving well past their sell-by dates. The first buyers were silver panthers with meaty elbows — the kind of elbows that only come with years of sweet tea and stirring grits in the morning. These gentle

The Civic is just an insane value. For under $24,000, you get a pretty big car, a 6-speed manual, and reviewers say it’s a decent amount of fun. Plus, you’ll return huge MPG figures.

Women seeking family adventures. Everyone can go home now, folks. We have reached peak-marketing-language. It’s the demographic we don’t want to admit exists, but we know is definitely out there: It’s my wife and son. Just say it, Ford. Don’t be cowards. You know exactly who the hell you’re talking about. People in

I like that the Tundra shares quite a bit with its competitors, the same way you might share your wife with a friend. It seems weird, but it’s actually masculine and modern. In the world of design, you want to be a sponge, and just soak up all the details. Don’t wrestle with “what you should do” on design. 

The biggest problem I have with the Tundra is they came late to what I wanted: An electric truck. I put down my $100 deposit on the F-150 Lightning because reducing the fuel demand to $0.00 (or effectively adding about $15/month to my power bill) was a big deciding factor for me.

You must mean the most important vehicle in the Back to the Future franchise. The producers spent three entire films of a movie franchise focusing on a time travelling Delorean, and totally missed the star of the show.

This is dumb. My internet is out, and won’t be restored until Monday. (Thanks, Comcast!) You know what I’d like to do over the weekend while my internet isn’t working? Play video games. You know what game I wouldn’t be able to play while I’m killing time without internet? You guessed it.

On my flight home from Charlotte, a woman standing at the gate started to throw a fit about wearing a mask, and the (sassy) gate attendant simply said, “Ma’am, I don’t get paid enough to deal with your shit. You sit your ass down and put on your mask.

I know what that feels like. I got wedged in the canal, and the doctor had to use forceps to grab my head and pull me out. I had a lumpy head for the first six months of my life.

Sure, and people invested a ton of money into that Elizabeth Holmes company selling blood testing kits. It’s easy to invest money. It’s hard to actually manufacture 100,000 of something, especially something as complex as a 2.5 ton vehicle. It’s hard to warranty all your units. It’s hard to avoid PR pitfalls.
