I used to pretend to talk on the car phone in my 90s 3 series at lights

I was unaware that turgidity was an integral part of elk hunts.

I just wanted to say I like these Bikelopnik articles you're writing

A decent sentiment when picking a car color, a bad sentiment when considering whether or not to wear a mask during a pandemic

Wait, who do you think the Bronco is targeting? When you show up to Whole Foods next time half of those 50 year old suburban dads will be busy parking a Bronco.

Is it me, or the do the steelies look really good on it? They go with the whole retro thing.

Option package pricing “closer to launch,” was all I could learn. I don’t think it will be $10,000... maybe more like... $3,999. Could be even less, really. FX4 is only a couple grand on some Rangers and F-Series models.

See, you’re only engaging in the 2nd-most worthless thing in the world!  I’m number 1!  (also, I was looking for a citation I’d used, so I didn’t have to go digging again.  Alas, the digging again had to be done.)
