LOL - same here. It’s a neat idea but I couldn’t imagine paying $100K to own one, especially back then. I remember staring at it from across Rte 1 while eating at Out of Asia (RIP) and thinking, “Who the hell would buy that thing?”

I think we’re talking about the same one - Rte 1 Saugus by the orange T-Rex? I remember seeing it sitting along the highway for a really long time but couldn’t remember how long.

They had one of these at my local Ford dealership when it first came out and it sat on the lot for at least 6 months.

I had a MKIV Jetta 1.8T and vividly remember the day I went to check the oil and the dipstick handle just crumbled when I tried to take it out. I only had the car for 5 years at that point. It was easily the least reliable car I ever owned.  

I have an attorney on speed dial but I’m married to her. In the 20+ years we’ve been together, I’ve never needed legal advice from her unless if it was for something standard like estate planning or that one time we bought a house.

The Porsche situation is a different beast though. Porsche has severely limited production to create artificial scarcity as a way to pump more money into their dealership network. In order to get an allocation for a GT car, you have to essentially buy lots of cars from the dealer, lose tens of thousands on them in…

I understand someone paying over MSRP for a Porsche GT car given the artificial scarcity Porsche has created for them and the absurd hoops they make their customers jump through just to get an allocation but I can’t understand paying markup for a vehicle like the Landcruiser which will most likely be readily available…

Same here. I live in a neighborhood where there’s a 4-way stop sign intersection every 1/4 mile. If there’s nobody around, which is usually the case when I’m leaving my house at 6am, then the California Roll seems safe as long as you’re actually slowing down to a near-stop and not just blasting through the…

That’s all well and fine. It’s a luxury item that’s super-expensive and for the uber-wealthy. I get that. I just find it laughable that the writer of this review says that a $170K (estimated) luxury SUV is a “hell of a deal.” Economically, nothing about this car is sensible.

Yeah, $170K is considered a good deal for this? What am I missing here? The Rivian R1S is almost $100K less than this thing.  

The hypocrisy in the GOP/MAGA crowd wanting to ban books that they deem are “inappropriate” for young children but love to plaster giant “Fuck Biden”, “Let’s Go Brandon” and “No Bullshit” signs everywhere is not lost on any of us.

I vividly remember going to the GM driving event at Gillette Stadium a few years before the recession. GM had a bunch of autocross courses setup where you could drive the GM cars and their competitors (Toyota, Honda, etc). The SSR had just come out and they were trying to get people excited to drive it but nobody…

I’m honestly amazed that any of these are still running. My first car was a 1985 Grand Marquis, 4-door, with 70K miles. It was $1800 back in 1998. I could fit an entire mini-fridge in the trunk. I honestly can’t see that car appreciating at all though because it was not very reliable, got roughly 10 mpg and even…

What an idiot. If I recall, there are signs along most of Nantucket’s driving-permitted beaches with compressed air stations nearby where they encourage you to let the air out of your tires before driving on the beach so you don’t get stuck.  I’m sure Mr. CT completely ignored all of that.

Cop did the right thing - I honestly don’t see anything wrong with what he did. There are pedestrians on the walkway who could have been seriously hurt or killed by the ATV. The ATV was going so fast that it didn’t even have enough time to stop for the cop car. If he was going around a blind corner and came up fast on…

Yeah, $1500 is absurd. At that price there are so many more versatile options that are not made of plastic, like a Nomos, Longines, Ball, Oris, Shinola or even a microbrand like Magrette.

Welcome to the world of racing where rich kids who are completely out of their league, like Nikita Mazepin, get a coveted F1 seat because their father is a Russian Oligarch.

Would love to see Elon try to drive it “on” Jupiter too. 

During the solar eclipse a bunch of people drove up to northern NH in their Teslas and the line at the nearby charging station was something like 185-cars long. Someone actually had to hand out numbers to everyone. As someone who owns a PHEV and frequents that area pretty often, the majority of NH has very little…

So much to unwrap here but Elon pretending to be his 3-year old son on Twitter and asking “Do you like Japanese girls?” is very creepy and very, very sad. Either he thought that was funny (which it’s not, it’s really weird) or he, who has multiple older children, thought that this is how a 3-year old person actually th…
