I was more of less joking that he ended up paying 3.40 for a product (diesel fuel) that was supposed to be on sale for 3.09. I agree that the incident was not Kurt’s fault.

I like that “RainBird” is one of the ‘automotive’ stickers on the fender.

So you’re saying that he got the wrong gas, and also overpaid for the gas by over 30 cents per gallon.

I was at the PCA Festival of Speed not too long ago, and there were quite a few first-gen Boxsters racing. The sound they were making was phenomenal.

I... uhh... am actually surprised at how much I like that.

As much as people like to bash the bangle-era BMWs, I have always liked the way the E60 looked. Unfortunately, they are reaching the age and pricepoint to where I am beginning to see more clapped-out versions than the well-cared for ones.

I’ve seen a new GMC Terrain that had half the LEDs day time running lights working. The decorative LED lights look pretty silly when they are not working...

I am slowly coming to the opinion that Sergio is not doing that bad of a job. The Daimler and Cerberus eras put the Chrysler group in a poor position and needed a lot of effort to recover. Since Sergio took control, a number of improvements have been made their existing models and new cars have been added to the…

I was under the impression that those were their strengths; everything else was the wildcard.

I replied to his question about cars in California.

He asked if it is common for cars to keep their plates in California. I replied that it was... 

The use of the original license plates are fairly common for used cars.

They all can’t be pretty.

The next “Gone in 60 Seconds” movie is going to be pretty boring to watch. Perhaps Ford will offer a mustard-colored option to give some connection to the past.

The beauty of power seats and the memory positions is for those households with multiple drivers. The height difference between my wife and myself is almost a foot, so our seat positions are drastically different. Every time we swap between one of our cars, we just need to push a button to reset the seats in her FXT,…

I have the Toyota “Entune” system in my Tacoma and I only use the in dash navigation in lieu of my phone. The navigation works fine when I need it, and does not use my phone’s battery or data.

It personally think that the Saab was the best looking version of that platform (GMT 360), and having an LS2 option also helped, even if the car was not really a true “Saab.” That said, I personally never found that platform too desirable, and it was a pretty expensive suv when it was new.

You’re not wrong, but in this case, the police and news knew that the Saturn was a different car. Based on the newsfeed, they just assumed that the suspects swapped cars. The whole ordeal was misleading though; a third passenger got out of the Saturn after the alleged car swap and dropped to the floor awaiting the…

This chase has been very strange. The live feed had ended recently with the CHP pulling over another black car with two other people and a baby. Somewhere, they thought that the driver and passenger ditched the Camry in a parking lot and got into a black Saturn, and then chased them for about 10 minutes. The Saturn…

If the interface is glitchy, then it does have a reliability issue. I do agree that most of the reliability methods could be separated to distinguish a metric specific for the drivetrain and one for electronics, especially as the interface system continues to get more complex. That said, given how complex and…
