I would love to drive something like this, but I bet it has one fatal flaw: transmission programming. The whole truck is built to go fast and have fun, but can the auto trans keep up? Any production fast SUV or truck has the trans designed for that sort of driving, holding gears, downshifting quicker, etc. But this is…

So you’re saying FCA outsourced “Hellcat all the things” to... us?

Wow, BMW makes a really nice Subaru Crosstrek.

If they were black shouting “fucking crackers” or some other white nickname, nobody would blink an eye about it. Not saying these girls aren’t dumb racist bitches, but don’t act like anyone would get in trouble for calling white people anything derogatory.

Forget about the janky, bolt-together, paper-thin steel tubing. What about the choice of 31" first-gen BFG mud terrains as the tire for this supposed bomb-proof, super offroad truck?? My offroading club called these “may-pops” because the sidewalls are apparently made of paper-mache and will tear at the mere sight of…

Keyword in the first paragraph was “drove”. I moved to Alexandria and now my commute is about 25 miles and I don’t have to deal with complete batshit insaneo DC city traffic every day. But yeah, I have a reverse commute, opposite all the people living way out and working in the city. Plus the average speed on 210…

Nope. I drove from Columbia Heights in NW to Indian Head, MD every day for 3 years and that was only 32 miles. I drive opposite about a billion people going up 210 to DC from Waldorf and that’s only 27 miles from downtown. People commute 50 miles into DC from Frederick, MD or Fredericksburg, VA so I consider near half…

Yup, it’s housing prices. You can literally get 4x the house for the same money in the suburbs. We sold a 1k Sq ft condo in Columbia Heights in DC for 550k and bought a 2k Sq ft townhouse in Alexandria for 620k, which was a smoking deal. For this same money, we could have a brand new 5500 Sq ft house 20 miles south in…

Took a cab from DCA to my house, maybe 2 miles all on one single road. It costs twice as much as Uber and the driver was on his phone the entire time. Like texting or surfing, not talking.

Where is this alien place where texting while driving is actually enforced and punished? It’s been illegal in DC, MD, and VA for years and cops don’t give a shit. I’d say at least 50% of the people on my commutes are doing something on the phone while driving, including the police.

Nah, I live just outside DC and the cabbies are absolutely terrible. In the past couple years, we’ve only taken a cab when it’s absolutely 110% more convenient because it’s already right in front of us.

Do you live in downtown London? I have trouble finding places where the posted speed limit isn’t 15mph less than what is comfortable to drive at.

Do you really need a list? We get it, all white people are racist.

Yep. Like Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins wasn’t a true billionaire because his two girlfriends had to suffer sitting on top of each other in his pauper-class 2 seater Lamborghini.

Just this weekend, I drove partly on the autobahn from Munich to Prague and back. Seems like a damn good road system to me. Apart from the trucks and a few bad apples, everyone knows the rules and stays to the right. This is amazing and refreshing when my commute in the DC area consists of a 3 lane highway with a 45…

But seriously, is this thing a rebadged and slightly restyled Jeep Compass?

Man, that thing has the perfect wagon roofline too. No taper in the back, just maximum cargo room all the way back. Even all the SUV’s nowadays have the taper meaning the hatch opening is smaller than the rest of the cargo area.

It also looks strange with such a large back window and tiny D pillar. Imagine that,…

I was a VA resident at the time, but my Jeep was registered in MD. And by street legal I mean it passed MD’s emissions inspection and had license plates. The fix-it tickets I got from the trooper were for the usual stuff: tires sticking out past fenders, modified suspension. He had no issue with my doors being…

Meh, I was hanging out with all my Cobra club friends since I had gotten rid of both of my past mustangs. Plus, c’mon, I can’t cruise the beach in a doorless Jeep?

Honestly though, have you been to this event? People bring out all kinds of modified vehicles, including hundreds of lifted diesel trucks that do…
