I think it’s less that I don’t understand why american car buyers are choosing the vehicles they are and more that I lament the direction in which it’s going. So, yes. To your first point, I agree, it doesn’t matter.

So glad to see the President is set on tackling the real issues in this country.

They are a compromise, with slightly worse fuel economy as corresponding sedans on the same platform, and slightly worse driving characteristics, but it’s a compromise that favors practicality.

It looks like some kind of souped-up armadillo.

Nothing is precious.

Hey, if you’ve got the Beat. You’ve got the Beat.

I know Jeeps used to be like this, but I didn’t realize that was still the case. They had that unique quality of being extremely capable, when they’re actually working.

This is a job for a lightly used Jeep Grand Cherokee. Looks and feels “professional” (even though I barely know what that’s supposed to mean) inside and out. Performs great in deep snow, and could totally (probably) stand up to a moose next time you’re vacationing in Grand Marais. It’s actually so much car for the…

I think Portia deserves a Kimoa kitten beret. Make it happen, Fernando.

I would 100% support this. With... 10 whole dollars.

“If you throw up in this car car again, I swear to god I will go to the stork and trade you in for another kid, myself.”

I don’t use this word often, but that car is adorable. I just want to pinch its little side mirror. I’d love to own one of those.

Or the farting. And now, she’s just leaving her brother in the dust to suffer.

Mmm. Yes. I would like one in dark brown, please. 

I agree with your point that maybe this is more of a dig against Carlin than with IndyCar. Carlin did not have a good car at Indianapolis. And, to your point, Chilton hasn’t had a good season, overall. There’s a lot more to look into here than just oval track safety.

Just because someone has learned to avoid publicizing their shitty attitudes doesn’t mean they’ve actually learned or grown or matured in any way.

...the Hyundai Tiburon, a car so cool, you could customize it and drive it on Need For Speed Underground.
