Now we have to keep this guy away from these tiny little engines, right?

Put them in Ford Explorers, apparently:

You realize the three vehicles you compared are entirely different markets?

Before American (pop) culture was built on big engines and chrome cars, it was built on steam-engine powered trains. Before that, horses. I’d say America is a pretty big place with a lot to offer that many other places dream of (vast open spaces and natural beauty that are the envy of people in densely populated…

List of cars I’ve owned because they were free: MK II Capri - auto, 85 Jetta - auto, 86 Escort 4 door - auto, 89? LeBaron - auto, 70 Mercury Comet 4 door -auto, 99 Altima - auto, freaking AMC Rambler - wait for it... auto. I’m not proud.

I kinda wish they’d replace that beep with a verbal warning.

I wouldn’t drive a GTI unless it were free. I mean entirely free, like, not just the car, but fuel, insurance and maintenance covered too. Basically, a company car. That’s the only way.

What in the sam hill is wrong with your grasp on the English language? :)

Yeah, you’re right. I was just looking for an excuse to post that video.

  Somehow I keep forgetting that there are literally only two cars in the world you can buy, a Giulia and a Camry. You’re better than this, Graverobber! But judging by half the... things you post on NP or CP, I think maybe you’re a masochist.

Meanwhile, a 30-something couple-he an actuarial, she an Office Depot manager-drove by in their 2015 Toyota Camry. Never exceeding the speed limit by anything that would garner attention they arrived at their unremarkable house without drama a half-hour later.

The money isn’t lost. It gets spent in wages and on procurement, which in turn creates a whole new economy and boost in living standards, which allows those people who are paid and those whose companies sell to the autonomous developers to spend on building their own wealth.

He said $150,000 “plus a healthy portion of the monthly budget” which I took to mean he wants to buy something for 150 grand but is well aware of ownership costs beyond initial purchase.

And of course Subaru is still setting records. They didn’t even need my help. I bought a new Outback last month.

Setting my alarm for 530AM to get the full 4.5 hours of Kirk and Callahan on WEEI with the HOTTEST TAKES. It’s going to be great. You’ll get Sully from Carver with his “I have a black friend” take. You’ll get Ben from Manchester who once sat in the out field in Fenway in the 1980s and NEVER HEARD A RACIST COMMENT, so…

I know Tom responded with a perfectly reasonable response, but on behalf of all of Jalopnik’s readership, I wanted to extend our deepest sympathies that you had to read about the same car twice in a 12-month period.

I can only become so erect.

It has long been a money maker, but it has only ever been a part of real shit-for-brains car conglomerates.
