Ryan,

Dash vents: “Puckered Anus.” How very German.

Nothing says “cool dad” like a Porsche. This Panamera 4 GTS is within your budget at $53,800.

This looks much better proportioned than the CLA. Like all latest MB’s, the interior isn’t my cup of tea... can’t deal with the Dubai nightclub lighting and big sphincter air vents. But most people will think it looks very fancy. Overall though, a good solid “first nice” car.

In Russia, economy wrecks YOU!

Note: Europe isn’t a big market for Carolina built SUVs. Let’s not pretend here. 

I suspect you’ll see yard signs offering to charge from their houses for a fee. And an app for that, “Charge BNB”. 

(The actual merits of range anxiety, which is silly since the vast majority of drivers take short trips, is an argument for a different day.)

“A lot of people who come into the “profession” of automotive writing are career grifters, long-con swindlers in it for the swag and the hotels and the airline miles. They can’t write, they can’t drive, and they don’t put their asses on the line for the thrill of speed and noise and a good story at the end of it.”

Mark sounds like an asshole 

You mean VW Jetta. Right?

Evel definitely prepped for his jumps. He was a daredevil, not stupid.

Or just DVR it and FF through the BS parts

I think they’ve got it covered.

GM has been trying for the past 50 years to do that. 

That’s what she said.

Don’t act like you wouldn’t do the same thing if you had a minivan, a welder, a saw, a free weekend, another car, and a whole lot of booze.

After seeing this Honda looks at their Ridgeline with disgust.

Or are we the crazy ones for wearing them...

Someone’s getting a job at Cadillac.
