I think you’d be happy with a CX-9. Mazda has put some luxury into their cars at pretty affordable price points; there are annoyances as with any car, like the polished plastic around the shifter, but the overall cabin experience is great. I’ve also been very impressed in the rain and snow. My life doesn’t allow for…

It’s worthwhile in these discussions to talk about the comparable value-added. Entertainment is not an industry where skill-set matters so much as perceived value - if Harry Styles is going to sell more tickets than Florence Pugh, then Harry Styles is going to get paid more, achievements or quality of performance be…

Most of the airlines were hoping to run out the string, but have found that there are limits to the inconveniences and poor treatment that pilots and flight attendants will endure.

I’m a big guy. Been lifting weights all my life. 6'2", 230 or so, 50" chest and th shoulders that come with those dimensions. My boys are similarly big, and most of my friends are big. Long legs, too. So, any car I buy has to firstly fit me - there’s nothing more frustrating than looking for cars that are actually…

Anyone, and I count myself among them, who purchases a vintage Italian or English car must be a little financially masochistic, or very flexible with their weekend drive plans.

I assume you’ve been to a NASCAR race before, which means you know that the only way to send NASCAR back 20 years would be to send it to the 1930's. I’ve been to races all over the country since the early 1990s, and I’m never going to pretend that the NASCAR community and fans are egalitarians. Larson’s remark was…

It all depends on your expectations. The “fun” of this car is the quiet, comfortable ride - you can drive these things for hundreds of miles at a stretch with no discomfort whatsoever. Now, if you like to weave through traffic, speed around curves, really feel the road as you drive, then this is not your car.

I’d wager Americans unable to process the idea that the Federal Government is the government would go nuts when they saw the degree of difficulty in obtaining a license in any Nordic or European country, including the UK. They’d similarly go nuts once they encountered enforcement.

You don’t think Tesla customer service should have been able to provide him with that solution? I sure do.

Unless they have on-board emergency power, or unless your utility is capable of avoiding any and all outages, I’m just not a fan. Let’s not forget the people who are forever running their phones down. There are analog solutions that will meet the needs of most homeowners or home renters - push-button combination…

Lincoln Town Car. Honda Element. Toyota FJ.

sold.

The Cadillac Cimarron was to pieces of shit what a World Series Winner is in baseball - a car that fought through a tough field to take the big prize. I don’t think there are enough superlatives to describe just how shitty every single badge of that car was, but the Caddy guys really brought it home.

You leaned pretty hard on the branding, which didn’t really match the hyperbole, once I saw photos.

Reasonable. I’m a sucker for a hauler in relatively good condition. 

There are a lot of defendants, and it’s pretty much a done deal that those defendants are going to litigate against one another as well. It’s pretty clear that the contractor responsible for constructing and, more importantly, filling the foam pit is going to have a rough time, depending on their interactions with…

I think we need to separate the normative from reality. Anyone who posts photos anywhere knows that, copyright be damned, those photos are easily duplicated and distributed. If the sole bar for access to one’s photos is a paywall, one has to be more than a little dense to think that the paywall is protective.

For very good reasons!

I made the Jaguar mistake once. Once. “Oh, I’m not going to drive it enough for anything serious to happen.”

This is the masochist’s car of choice. It is the car one buys when one feels insufficiently depressed or too financially secure. If one never actually needs to to go anywhere, this is your vehicle. Should one be seeking an immersive education in public transit usage, buy this car. If you enjoy reading by the dashboard…
