I was hitchhiking to a town four hours away and jumped into some cheap shitbox – could of been a Sunfire – that was packed with four people, me being the fifth. As soon as we got up to speed everyone pulled beer bottles out from where they had been hiding them, driver included, and continued down the highway at…

Australia as well I've noticed. It just feels weird.

Japan has one of the oldest populations in the western world. And a lot of their elderly people are dying in car accidents. That means that the advent of autonomous cars might be a good thing for them.

Why make a new V6 when you can make a new I6 and have a more traditional engine for the skyline and a smoother one for the rest of your cars. In my dreams this is happening.

In some cases, the deployment was caused by spiders — their webs can create a blockage in a drainage tube coming from the air conditioning condenser, which causes water to drip into the airbag control module resulting in a short circuit. Long story short is spiders = an airbag exploding in your face.

"Marchionne does things well at Chrysler and badly at Fiat," Volkswagen AG Chairman Ferdinand Piech told Bloomberg News during an event in Vienna this month. Based on its current performance, Fiat "isn't capable of surviving" on its own, said the executive, who has publicly sparred with Marchionne and has expressed…

In my mind you're missing a built, N/A 13B wailing away at 10,000 rpm in a light convertible, blowing fire out its tailpipes on run off. It's the stuff of my dreams and there is little that I want more. Would it be expensive? Yes. Would it be unreliable? Probably not the most reliable motor, high strung as it would be…

Right, but that's compared to the iron four banger in it, not a rotary. I believe a rotary is a bit lighter than an LSx and it's way more compact. What I'm saying is that a rotary will improve dynamics, whereas an LSx just won't make it worse. The rotary should put weight lower and further back, while being no heavier…

LSx people always bang on about how compact it is and that it keeps weight down low because it has a single cam down low. They also always talk about how light it is and how it should be thrown in everything, but you have to admit it's a damn sight bigger than a rotary and will drastically change the weight…

And, let's face it, as sleek and handsome as this car is, it is most assuredly a monster. After AMG gets their labcoat-sleeved hands on it, the SLS GT Black Edition is a 4100 lb, 622 HP beast that can go from looking lovely parked to a mile-a-minute blur in 3.5 seconds. It's low and wide, and the hood appears to be…

And the owners of the 'House of the Rising Sun' are, who knows, it's a folk song, and that's my point. No one owns a word because they come into existence by being adopted by everybody, along with its meaning. Cherokee refers, initially and overall, to the Cherokee people. Jeep wanted to use the name to associate…

I'm no Jeep purist, but I call bullshit on Jeep 'owning' the name. You call a vehicle something, it enters common parlance and takes on meaning. You can't just unilaterally change the meaning and keep the word because they 'own' it. Jeep owns Cherokee like Bob Dylan owns 'House of the Rising Sun' – he didn't write…

So here's a fun fact that is not completely out of left field: I ran a couple red lights this summer because I was on a motorbike and new they wouldn't change for me; I had sat in front of them for long periods of time previously and the device that detects a vehicle never detected me, either because I was too light…

He’s also mindful of his own look — typically a dark suit and rimless eyeglasses. At Meiji University, he rode in a Segway-like Toyota Winglet, donning khaki pants rolled up above the ankle, a square-ended crimson tie, black wayfarer glasses and a trendy hairdo.

This. While Christians have done some fucked up things, a central tenant of Christianity is not 'let's conquer the world and kill everyone who is different than us, especially those Jewish people." Does that mean there have never been Christians who have been that racist? No. But if you identify as a nazi you identify…

Can you make a house in this instead and have a moving base? Because that would be cool.

She references a lot of rap video cliches (crystal etc.) so I'm assuming when she says Cadillac this is what she means:

The wonderful Sera Trimble, who we've got the frequent pleasure of hanging out with, gets an article in the WSJ today written by her and told to none other than A.J. Baime.

It would be amazing if I did, as I was 12 at the time it left our shores and it would have made me the awesomest 12 year-old in the world.

They keep promising me... They keep promising me that they'll make a new one. They make me feel all excited. This is ridiculous.
