The correct car is actually the late-50s Cadillac Eldorado Brougham with its glovebox minibar, complete with magnetic cups.

Here in DC we’re all very good at spotting movies that are supposed to take place here but were obviously shot somewhere else. Like when there’s a bunch of too-tall buildings in the street shots in Live Free Die Hard, or when all of The Replacements is so obviously recognizable as Baltimore, including the football…

I’m Jewish and drive a BMW. You have nothing to fear. Then again, I’m not Orthodox.

I don’t think she uses the parking brake every time every time she parks, but who cares? It’s not going to hurt the car. Why would I waste energy on lecturing my wife about parking pawls?

And the current CX-5 is still fun (for a crossover) but way quieter and nicer inside, my wife doesn’t my drive stick, and neither do the majority of crossover buyers.

I have also towed a Subaru on a U-Haul trailer, except it was my wife’s Impreza, towed behind a fully loaded 20 foot U-Haul truck, when we moved from Wisconsin to Maryland earlier this year.

I mean, I don’t know her exact parking brake engagement sequence, but I have a feeling she might do it with her foot on the brake, what with having just parked. I can’t imagine the car is going to suffer all that much if it’s already been put in P and then she just presses the button with no foot on the brake pedal.

The current __A45 cars have an optional AMG Dynamic Plus Package that includes a front limited-slip diferential, active shocks, a race mode above the sport modes, and a higher top speed limiter. Hopefully that LSD continues to be available. 

If you want a hardtop Z4 it will be available as the Toyota Supra. 

You’re not imagining things. This Z4 is longer than the last one but has a shorter wheelbase.

BMW has been moving away from DCTs in favor of the ZF 8-speed. I’ve owned one of the DCTs and driven the ZF8. The DCT might shift a very thin hair quicker in certain situations but the ZF8 is much smoother and still shifts very quickly. 

We recently replaced my wife’s Subaru Impreza with a Mazda CX-5. The Impreza had a handbrake, the CX-5 has an electronic parking brake. Just the other day, without prompting, she told me how much she loves being able to press a button to put on the parking brake. So there’s that.

I actually like the GLA45. I'm on the fence about the wing, but those yellow stickers are trash.

The goofy rear wing is an option on the current GLA45. Maybe the same applies to the A35?

Witten can’t get a complete sentence out before the next play starts.

I’m trying to come up with something critical to say about Musk and/or Tesla so the fanboys come out of the grays and try to argue with me but I’m not coming up with something particularly good or witty to say about them. So...

My dad got a TT Roadster when they first came out, in the signature gray over baseball glove leather. He had TTOY as the vanity plate. 

I’m a hippie vegan who’s not your niece Sophie.

I have a habit that when my wife’s in the car with me when I’m driving, any time I want to call another driver a motherfucker or something else vulgar, I instead call them “person.” As in, “come on, let’s move it, person!”

You just made it.
