Then you, with your needs, should go ahead and rent a Prius.

22 seasons...I know nothing about motorbike racing, but this sends me straight off to almighty Google.

Sometimes, a bad experience soils the joy you were after. I have a rare car that has been at the same mechanic for seven months. By now, I don't have the most positive feelings towards it. If it's ever getting repaired (or maintained, really), I will have to start from scratch making this a joyful experience.

Classic:

My sister has zero interest in cars. Yet, we would sometimes watch this together. It’s just a piece of the slippery slope of “how bad can TV get for people to watch and expect something worse". This and a handful episodes of "Friends" are the last crap I ever watched on linear TV.

Wow, a friendly reminder here to read up on labour history. Countries with livable working conditions and decent wages all have one thing in common: Organised labour.

Well, people keep talking about Lexus. Maybe they cracked the code here: Since well-made cars require less attention than virtually all of the competition, making their cars ugly, they finally found something worth talking about. All PR is, well, PR.

I'd love Japan's gas prices of 1.4$/litre - here in Norway, we're about to break 2$/litre. <insert sad face>

Just joining in here to say, YES, Torch’s articles are brilliant reads. You’d figure a blog running Kinja, the only comment system actively undermining...eh...comments, would break. Not with content like this though. 

Europeans were not quite as slow as Americans to punish GM for poor quality. When Opel got shittized in the 90s, sales starting falling heavily. The story ends when PSA/Stellantis picked up the crumps recently. 

This should be the top comment. A shift like that is nothing but a "WTF America?".

The Steyr-made European Cherokees have a terrible reputation, too, and I have never, not once, considered Jeep reliable. But they got to post a provocative head image for the clicks.

The Collective Farm Edition had me crack up. O'boy, that badge should really be mass-produced!

Not sure about the rules of this game, but a trip to St. Petersburg, Russia, in 2015 yielded quite a lot of enjoyable sightings. Patrick even let me post on the front page here, but it’s gone now. Here’s a selection of Russian, Persian and Chinese glory, see if you can name them:

I understand the US has been striving to turn itself into a temple of injustice in every societal matter, but this can't be real. You own a driver's license legally, you're bound to be liable for your driving. There cannot be any loopholes. Srsly.

Everyone can drive parts of AVUS today - it's become part of the "Berliner Ring" motorway. Awesome to drive past the tribunes on the straight.

Automatic neutral is troublesome, too - especially with electric handbrakes. When everything except the footbrake requires zip zap zoom juice, your options are limited.

Everyone stampeding to the comment section to comment the same thing - you did it best. The comparisons above were basically trolling, can't believe this got past the editor. 

Cool car, but you should mention the price right in the article. 215k miles with oil changes every 2k miles is over 100 oil changes...that's insane.

Why is the real answer to that question hidden so far down the impossible Kinja comment bucket?
