It is not a pretty car. Whoever designed it really needed to put the pen down.

MSRP on this comes to $28,850 ($29,780 when you include destination and handling), and for a five-seater with a decently sized trunk, this isn’t bad.

...because a CVT will always feel like stirring a bucket of molasses with a Wiffle bat.

I’d say it can fit three, 300-pound wenches, at most.

Hey Elizabeth! Just wanted to say your racing takes were very missed and I think we’re all really happy to be reading your blogs again.

You know, I have already brought in my car to a local Ford dealer’s body shop to fix the problem, and they told me almost this exact thing. You mean to tell me they’ve been using the same style of gaskets for the taillight assembly for around 20 years?! That’s insane.

and, yet again, the handy drain plug means cleanup is a cinch.

Funny, I don’t need to imagine what it feels like to find a shit-load of ice in my Ford’s trunk. Because water has been magically finding its way into my Fiesta’s trunk for apparently most of the winter and filling my spare tire well. Freezing my spare tire in about two inches of ice.

I don’t always do a good job of differentiating weather from climate. That said, this is the first winter in my lifetime that the ice on our area lakes isn’t going to get thick enough to drive on. With a truck, anyway. I like to ice fish, so I always keep a close eye on ice thickness. Right after Christmas, we had…

I’m not a big fan of his either, but simply possessing the ability to pilot an F1 car around a track without crashing makes you worthy of the sport, in the very least.

I know you said don’t talk about it, but... The Drifless area of WI/MN/IA/IL is a wonderful place with some great driving roads. As a Southeast Wisconsinite, I often look to that region of the state with envy. Why don’t I live over there.

The 2021 Escalade, which hasn’t officially been debuted yet, is rumored to have a V performance model,

My jeans didn’t survive, and I’m sitting in a goddamn office. Fuck.
