My grandmother has an atlas from the 20s (IIRC) that shows a similar scheme. What was really interesting about her copy is that the east-west interstates were numbered 10, 20, 30...90 from north to south rather that south to north. (In case you hadn't noticed that pattern before : I-90 connects Seattle to Boston…

Today, one might say "a free and open high-speed internet" in place of "good roads".

A mountain of cocaine?

As fun as it would be, there's no real need for an off-roader . We're doing the classic parks tour.

Well, if this is indeed the last article you ever write, Tavarish, you went out on a high note. I am a huge fan of these. I even saw a sweet Jalop-approved brown one the other day and felt compelled to snap a pic. No shame - this little vanlet checks all of my boxes.
Question: did Ford ever implement the RFID…

This can't be a regulation-size ball, can it?

Nice Landy! I'm heading to Utah next week for a week-long road trip - I wish I could rent an FJ and snap a pic like this. I think the closest the rental agency has is a Jeep Alien Cherokee.

Two outta any of those three ain't even bad - seriously.

We're not really sure why Mercedes makes AMG versions of nearly everything they sell, but we hope they keep doing it. It's the reason why wonderfully confusing cars like the R63 AMG exist, a 507 hp MPV.

DD'd a Volvo 745 until 2 years ago. She's currently in mothballs but will return to the streets soon. She's only been on a flatbed a few times since I bought her in 2001. Once for dead relays in the engine compartment, once for a bad EGR valve that was overlooked on a tuneup, and once for an ignition relay failure.…

Much cleaner look here than the gas motor'd car - 9 out of 10 in my book.

This. I like this.

Here's the lowdown: it's a five-door hatch on the MQB modular platform, same as the new Golf and its many cousins, but it's idealized as slotting above the Passat and CC but below the Phaeton. No word yet on production though.

Bentley hasn't released any details on what engine this thing has, but 'Speed 6' in Bentley-speak typically translates to six cylinders. They even wrote '6' into the grille, but in a much more trick way than you might imagine. The mesh "includes varying depth with a complex 3D geometry only visible when viewed at an…

Not sure if serious...FireWire has been dead for a while. Dropped from iPods in 2008, and disappeared from MacBooks in ~2009. And FWIW, the other end of a Lightning cable is still USB.

Guilty!

My guess is that it will roll out with e-versions of at least one other premium vehicle. An battery-powered-A8 seems like a marketable thing. (Yes, I know they have different platforms.) Or maybe Audi intends to head off Musk at the pass and stuff batteries in the Q5 or Q7, which in turn suggests an electric VW…

Technically, it's "Here ARE Clarkson and May..."

Not a fan of how some honeycomb is accented, some is not. The new NSX is worse, though.

You're half right. The driver might be 'selected', but so might other cyclists, pedestrians, motorists, etc.
