My high school friend drove a V6, 5MT Bronco II and I would ride home with him in it about 3x a week. I also drove it on occasion. It was a cool and fun little rig! This brings back such good memories of tooling around in it. NP all the way even without the nostalgia.

Age 13? The way some of those mom blogs are, I can’t tell if you’re joking or serious.

“In a way, this completes the remarkably easy rehabilitation of the building’s owner, the Moroun family, which owns the Ambassador Bridge that connects to Canada and has, until now, maintained a terrible reputation among residents in the city.”

I agree. I really like the look and specs of the Acura RLX, might have to check it out.

Yeah, fuel economy is one concern but not a huge one since the commute is about 10 miles each way (including dropping the kids off) and we only go in to our offices 3-4 days per week. If it were just me, I’d definitely go for a 2-series. I had 2 E46s (a ZHP and an M3) before this and loved them.

I’ve been eyeing them as well. I have a 987 Boxster S as my fun car, a Yukon Hybrid as family hauler, and a Lexus ES350 as daily commuter. The Lexus is great in its role but holy wow is it boring. A Cayenne would probably be more fun.

Your sentiment is correct. Here is one that caught my eye recently: a 2010 GTS with 108,xxx miles, clean Carfax. I started to get all jazzed up on it before doing some actual research. It sounds like this generation was built with more serious off road capability that cost it about 500lbs, therefore compromising its…

No, it wasn’t in Texas, it was in Austin. :)

Yeah, I can’t get into the mind of someone who wants to buy a brand new vehicle, and I think that clouds my understanding of the Z4 vs Boxster purchase decision. For example, $50-55k would get you a new Z4, but it alternatively it would get you an immaculate, two year old, low-mileage, CPO Boxster. I can’t understand…

Good to see BMW stepping it up. I never understood the role of the Z3 / Z4. Having recently been in the market for a roadster, the Z3/Z4 seemed trapped between the superior Boxster and the scrappy Miata. If BMW can make it a more viable Boxster competitor then it seems to make a lot more sense.

I enjoy your brand of unintelligible baseball scoutspeak.

Are you towing much more than the rally car and trailer? A standard pickup will tow around 9000 lbs if set up properly, right?

For me, the wagon is all about utility. I want to know how comfortable it is with rear facing car seats. How is it for tall drivers/passengers? How spacious is the cargo area for dogs, luggage, strollers, bikes? We all know this thing is AMG fast, but how does it WAGEN?

Cool, congrats, I did not know that. The LLB qualifies one for bar membership (assuming they pass the exam), correct? I meant it was similar to a JD in that sense.

Note that Sharp’s thesis was in a Scottish LLB programme, which is comparable to an American JD program. So I would call it law school, rather than undergraduate.

Spot on. This is a huge segment they are giving up. What kind of profit was Ford making on the Fusion and Focus? Those are hugely popular vehicles. Most folks aren’t going to shrug and say, “oh well, if I can’t get a Focus, I’ll take an Explorer.” Instead they’ll get a Corolla or Civic. By the way, TM and HMC are both…

I like its exterior design, but where is the line between “Let’s build something that looks kinda like a Land Rover” and “Land Rover is suing us because we copied them”? It’s a great design, but how can they get away with it?

If you have a train ticket, Amtrak will check it for you at Penn Station and probably other stations (as of summer 2016).

I have a Pixel that refuses to play music files via Bluetooth. Pandora and Youtube via Bluetooth are no problem, but it will not play a music file. I’ve scoured the web and tried every possible fix, including a factory reset, all with no solution. Anyone experienced this? All I want to do is play my music in my car or…

Bode was spot-on here. Goggia was not fast up top. By the middle of the run and late in the run, she was flying. I think Bode does a really good job, but maybe non-skiers don’t appreciate him.
