Definitely looking at them. NV200 is a little small for what I have in mind. Thinking the short wheelbase Sprinter would serve as a large enough stealth camper - but where did I leave that extra $50k...?

Well that is true although I also have my eyes on Chevy Astros. The lack of affordable small vans that one could turn into a Weekender-style recreation box is another of my pet hates.

Is it though? If everything else was equal, like it handled, braked, consumed fuel, similar to today’s generic wind-tunnelled, yet oddly gap-mouthed car, I would pick the one that looked like a T-bird hands down.

I have one! Well, my daughter drives it now, I never see it. Which is good -- I actually find it fiendishly difficult to park. The car is way bigger than it should be, given how not at all big it is inside.

This feels like more of a Torchinsky question, but is there any feasibility that VW could actually bring back a Beetle as a dirt-cheap econocar that can be turned into other things? Because when I grew up as a car fan in the 70s and 80s, that was how we thought of Beetles - strangely durable, easy to unbolt and turn…

I wish I was such a good person that this made me not find Norm Macdonald a hilarious comedian. Oh well.

The cars in the top photograph appear to have spent a lot of time under the wrong tree! 

It would be easy to argue premeditation. Manzi cut him off, or something - Fenati had a whole ramble to the press justifying what he did (settling any lingering concerns about whether Fenati’s brain functions correctly). Premeditation doesn’t have to mean elaborate plotting. We don’t have to have Fenati’s basement…

That’s cold, inhumane. 

Without being the least bit sarcastic, it is amazing and wonderful that LACK OF VISION OUT OF THE DRIVING SEAT is actually a factor that is understood to affect car sales.

The photo of the criminally evil wrong-facing tp roll must be an act of conscious trolling!

200 miles is very problematic when you could have a Tesla X for around the same money. I’d vastly prefer a 100 mile pure electric range, which is plenty for daily commuting, with a gas or diesel generator to add on another 200 miles on those occasions when you want to show off the car to your relatives far away.

Diversity!

Diversity!

I’d like this narrative to be correct. Now, can she get elected? Can she get re-elected? Will she be in or near the next locus of control in the DNC or is it just Clintonite neo-con war party types now and forever?

I am thinking of getting the Outlander PHEV, but only for the PHEV. The rest of the car is...fine. 

Greenish brown, or brownish green, is a colour very familiar to new parents and nothing I would want more of on or in my car.

But then made thunder in his pants

As a kid who grew up on the fringes of racing, I loved going fast and smelling hot tires and whatnot, and if we can have that without clouds of blue smoke, yay. But maybe race fans have their backs up when thinking of electric cars, the way that some people despise vegetarians, you know?

America, land of the extreme. Things are extreme? Get more extreme!
