I see a giant gutter that permits the sh*t the kids spill in the back to make its way to the forward region of the cabin. Certainly this will coincide with the moment that one hits the brakes, and whirls around to ask "What is going on back there?!?"

Wait just a minute....

Ya sure these weren't leaked from a Pep Boys catalog? These badges and the goofy grille insert are super cheesedick. The Ram is the most distinctive full-size on the market with that hood/fender feature. Why slap the big letters on it? Dislike.

Can we preemptively ban the Benz GLE X6M ripoff thingy?

It's so Renault, though. I like it. It's just an A to B and back to A car. Does its job well, doesn't elevate blood pressure. My sister in law has one. Works fine, dependable, more distinctive than a Civic.

I know the guy that bought the one they sold last year....

They need space for all of their paramilitary gear. :/

COTD right here. Very well done.

It prioritizes logic over weirdness, but it…

Cheers - thanks!

That's the story - thanks for posting the details, fellow Jalop!

Ah that is what I was trying to think of. Thank you.

Mmmm. I hear you on the point about road construction... but nowadays, (speaking just for Seattle and Portland) the issues are lack of parking, cost, and environmental concerns. Traveling between nearby destinations by car in major urban centers is only getting more inefficient and more expensive. Even with the finest…

This is going to be frustratingly vague - but there was the mysterious death of that journalist in LA about two years ago where it's suspected his car was hacked and controlled remotely, leading to a high speed crash late at night. He'd just published…

AAAAND streetcars are coming back into vogue. (Seattle resident here - this town is putting them back in place, following in the...uh... tracks of our neighbor to the south, Portland)
