They walked for three days. The Lexus dealership had long since burned. A naked one-eyed man waved a shotgun from the passenger window of a loaner RX450. Mercedes was a distant memory. The three-pointed star he’d kept on his keychain was elegeiac. The boy didn’t even know Daimler’s name. It didn’t matter now.

I knew I’d get somebody!

I read that to the tune of “favorite things”... So now that’s gonna be stuck in my head all day.

OK. Let’s do this.

I love diffusers like I love seeing underboob.

Make a point of visiting the Porsche Experience Center at Porsche’s NA HQ in Atlanta. Everyone who works there is a nerd of some stripe. Even the people who work in the gift shop are car nerds. My friend John talked for 15 minutes with a woman working in the gift shop about races they had seen at Sebring, and…

AWD, snow tires, and why everyone is doing it wrong.

The all new, Chevy Cyst!

Okay, that’s really weird.

Nope, longitudinal. That upper intake manifold really messes with you doesn’t it?

Transverse V8? Never knew that. Had a friend who’s family had one, it drove very nicely, maybe it was the “S” model, I can’t remember, but much more “sporty” than the Lexus LS. Of course the latter lasted 300k miles beyond the former.

I have a 6 year old Volt and can confirm. The cars are cheap to run and for other reasons not mentioned:

GTI Sport with the DSG. Obviously not quite in the same ballpark as a Crosstrek, but the things it gives up to the Crosstrek (AWD, a bit more utility, ground clearance) are more than made up for in performance and refinement.

One of the most frustrating things are people that are already at a stop sign, see you coming, and then wait to see if you’re actually going to stop. It messes up the flow of traffic so much; even more so when they try to be nice and let you go first.

How about people who have right of way and still try to wave you in. That’s some next level annoying stuff right there.

“you look like you’ve fallen over in the playground”

Oh man, that Crosstour looks good in white!!!

Was the Hyundai commercial Billy Fuccillo and his god damn HUUUUUGGEEE ads? Because that would make me never buy a Hyundai.
