A friend drove 10 hours with a fussy, very unhappy two year old daughter in the back seat. He described it as trying to concentrate while being jabbed in the back of the neck with a knife every five minutes.

If you’re ever driving in one of those areas and have car trouble, do not stop your vehicle in front of one of those ramps. When I was a kid going on a family vacation I saw the aftermath of what happens if a car’s in the way when a truck needs to use the ramp.
Mine stopped working after six months. I replaced it with a quartz Citizen Eco-drive that’s lasted for a few years so far.

I recently re-read Nineteen Eighty-Four and found it even more disturbing than when I first did. This quote stood out:
If the Internet has taught us anything, it’s that Mustangs should only be hooned when far away from any bystanders, preferably surrounded by a large body of water.
Similar to my experience. My dad had an affinity for muscle cars and pickups, and I remember regularly being in the back of a Super Bee, Impala SS and the bed of a C10 pickup. I also recall being in the back of a Corvette, I think an uncle’s. Then there was the occasional motorcycle ride.
Sorry, it will continue to have my disdain, as I drove one nearly 700 miles in two days. A few years ago I had to go to some client meeting at my old job and was told to rent a car as it made the expenses easier, so I did. When I picked it up, the guy at the counter said, “We have a brand new PT Cruiser for ya’!” I…
While I’m not a fan of Evans, he shouldn’t get all the blame. Rather, I think the producers relied too much on older Top Gear formulas and bits—especially using three-wheeled Reliants in the premier episode—which seemed sad and reminded people of the departed trio. They also appeared to be forcing a chemistry between…
I was there a couple years ago while visiting relatives. And the road I took up to the Parkway was NC 80, which turned out to be a nice surprise, and the GPS looked like spaghetti. I later found out it’s known as the “Devil’s Whip.”
So in Russia the BMW drivers are the most calm, level headed and willing to help diffuse a bad situation? It really is opposite world.
In 2012 I test drove a slew of sedans and other cars, looking for something practical and fun—with a manual—for my long daily commute. These tests included a BMW 328i, an older Subaru Legacy GT, a WRX and an first gen Acura TSX. But when it came time to buy, I went and got a Mazda 3.
Llamas, I think. The PT Cruiser bites giraffes (and I even got a ticket in a rented one).
I went over it a bit above, but the car’s not that old and its middling performance didn’t come close to matching its looks nor price, either in handling nor speed. It would probably get spanked on about any track by a early 2000s midsize sedan with a V6 and could carry even less stuff than a Miata. So even 16 years…
The Plymouth Prowler, probably the greatest example of a design making promises the car was incapable of delivering. Despite its hot rod appearance, it was only available with an automatic transmission, used a standard 3.5 liter Chrysler V6 and was built around the time DaimerChrysler quality may have been at its…
There doesn’t appear to be any stream of it, but Sunday is also Le Mans test day.
James May is kind of the Bob Ross of machinery. He just needs to tell us that all our bolts should be happy bolts. Or whatever the Brit term is for bolt. Let’s say, “shtork.”
