I am no large SUV fan, I was once in a car that was run over by a Yukon Denali. But there is one exception, the Kia Borrego. I had one as a rental after one of my cars caught fire and I needed a ride for a few days for my wife to get a car (we were down to 2 in the house at that point). The only thing ready on the…

I run an internal IT support team that is all phone based, for a couple weeks I had oversee the customer tech support line as well. One of the top metrics customer service reps get graded on is those surveys. You leave good feedback and it will reflect well on that agent. For those two weeks I had to watch the phone…

First, WELCOME BACK ANDREW! Elated to see you recovering well.

If that was a supervisor, team lead, or line employee under me they would not get to finish the meeting. That firing would happen the second he finished that statement and I collected my thoughts. I would stop the meet, hold employees in place, walk my report to HR and have him terminated then and there.

Your a monster.

There is no torque curve, there is the torque plateau and it starts at 1 rpm.  We will make the Earth spin the other direction!

I just love that Volvo was like “You know what would be RAD?!?!  A turbo and supercharger on the same engine!”  Then another guy responded “Someone has already done it.”  And the reply was “We’ll fucking hybrid the car too!  How about that shit!”  Thus the XC90 twin charged hybrid was born.  I want to be a fly on the…

Hyundai has its US HQ like 40 minutes away from Pacific Palisades, they know it catches fire, like all the time. Also unless this is the safest car Hyundai has ever made I don’t think the book definition of the name fits it. 

A company that is currently going through an issue with car fires calls its new car the Palisade? Oh, yeah, maybe bad timing. I think Palisade and I my first thought is...

I have a rule, DO NOT TALK TO COPS.  I don’t know anything, I didn’t see anything.  Shit I will delete pictures and video from my phone if I think cops would want it.

I really tried to get my wife to get the Outback a few years ago.  I was sad when she passed it up for the Soul.

Oh god I just know my wife will ask for one in this color.

A performance oriented plug in hybrid with AWD, I will even accept eAWD for one set of wheels. If I can get 45 -50 MPG and a 0-60 in the 6 to 7 sec range that would be good.  The weight of the car would be low and you can even it out with the battery unit. 

I can’t wait for the 2043 Jalopnik post were David Tracy attempts to hobble a JL Jeep truck back to life and drive it a couple thousand miles through the wastelands.  

I have been following his Twitter and Instagram for years.  I love his stories of seat mates on airplanes.

Oh SNAP! My first thought was “Why not purchase during historically bottom rate interest and make up the capital expenditure in expanded business during peak economy?” Because now even after the capital expenditure and lost funds to higher interest rates, the economy is on a course for recession in the next 2 to 3…

I am going to paint Gandalf surfing the USS Enterprise (original one) as it passes the Death Star.  Gandalf will be holding the Elder Wand in one hand and the head of a Medusa in the other.

FRUNK!  Honestly if VW brings EVs like this to market that are even 90% of what I see in the concept they will get my business.  The ID Buzz is great and I hope to see other really cool production modes from the same chassis design.

Mexico to Canada via coastal highways.  It would be the 5 freeway PCH, 101, etc from the Mexico boarder all the way to Canada.  I have done LA to SF via PCH which was fun as hell. 

What you purchased was a Daewoo that was rebadged a Suzuki due to a partnership deal with GM that generated a shit ton of bad cars sold here in the US.  Once the GM partnership ended Suzuki did some really great stuff like the Kizashi and the new generation off roaders we don’t get.  Hell the XL7 was the best thing to…
