Those wheels do look good, agreed. Let’s talk about that unsightly grille though...

You’re not wrong.

Surprised Harry doesn’t say “LAHN-cha”. 

This is very cool - thank you! I must repay you with some photos after our adventure. (Also, I love that R500. We have a rear-drive Previa. So, about 1/3 the power, but it’s mid-engined, so.... that’s something right? :) )

Not so much a dream but an imminent reality: my wife and I are taking a sabbatical next summer to drive from Washington State to Western NY and back. The idea right now is 5-6 weeks total, clockwise from Seattle through Vancouver BC to catch Trans Canada 1, and make our way to Buffalo where we’ll stay for 5-7 days…

These are the kind of details that make a post worthwhile. “Filthy” just doesn’t tell us anything.

Women driving in Saudi Arabia? What could possibly go wrong? /s

More Espada and Estoque, less SUV and Huracan refreshes.

This Facebook-ification of automobiledom just reinforces my desire to keep driving used Toyotas from the 90s. Onboard connectivity? No thanks. Got enough tracking going on via my iPhone.

A Dustbuster...with lower body cladding

Regarding the anniversary of the patent application, I toured the Buffalo Transportation/Pierce Arrow Museum this summer and was blown away by the catalog of WNY automobile manufacturers that they had on display. There were scores and scores of companies building cars. It was crazy. 

TL;DR (46-1) remains a moron without a clue regarding proper governance.

So is the lesson that we shouldn’t be putting too much stock in a fast-talking, Ferrari-driving, ambulance-chasing LA lawyer? Sounds fine to me. I sincerely wish him the best in his role in taking down (46-1) but beyond that, I think he’ll just add variety to the panel of Democratic candidates, but not stand a chance…

Heh heh. “Wookey Hole”. Heh heh. 

Until US infrastructure catches up with the 21st Century, I ain’t buying a damned thing about vehicle autonomy. Faded stripes on roads, patches covering up lines and markings, road signs in need of replacement, emergency repairs up and down I-5 in my home state of Washington... I don’t trust the distracted Gen Y-er…

Beautiful pic at the end of the post - looks like Beach Drive in West Seattle.

Hilarious.. Porsche pricing model. No wonder 40% of Americans are nearly bankrupt by the time they reach retirement age. Stupid purchases like this, with 72-month terms.

Fellow dino here. Paid two grand for a super clean RWD Previa with a new motor to replace a beloved Volvo wagon with 300k on the clock. I laugh at all the prices of these new cars and their silly options. I wanna retire before I’m 70. 

Do any of the build combos include a Dixie flag decal for the roof and numerals for the doors? I mean, an orange vehicle called “01” deserves some Duke boy graphics.

Besides the roundel and the attempt at kidney grilles, this has too much M-B in the design vocab. I am disappointed.
