Oh I understand its a whole experience. It’s going to take awhile for those of us that love driving to get used to the numbness of an EV. Who doesn’t love the sound of a Hemi? But my point is that at the end of the day its about the environment. None of the experience or anything matters if you don’t have planet to Read more

“Aye bruh, this Hyundai Tucson slaps.” I could image something like this being done. Wrong and terrible. Like you I’m not even offended. Im just shaking my head. Read more

The appeal for these, and this is just my opinion (and I could be wrong) but I believe this was the cheapest SUV/crossover on the market that you could get a 3rd row in.  Read more

While I appreciate their capability, you’d never see me behind the wheel of one. Im merely making an assumption thats probably true: a Grand Cherokee would run circles around an Explorer Timberline offroad. Read more

I don’t know what Millennials you know, but very few of us own homes. Rent and home prices are high. This is right up many peoples alleys because the rent is relatively cheap. The oldest of Gen Z is barley finishing college, if that. And they’ll probably be just as screwed as us, if not worse. Read more

Because there weren’t pics of the garage available, which is why I used descriptions of the garage sizes instead.

I used to pass that 100 Thieves Compound every morning on the way to work in Culver City. I don’t know if they’re lying or what, but if they spent $50 million for what I saw in an industrial part of the city, they got played. Its so bland and blends in with everything else. And when I tell you its almost always looks Read more

Yea but the way they checked for it, someone could’ve walked up with a blank index card and could’ve gotten in. It was irresponsible as hell.  Read more

Yea you’re right. That’ll be the cheapest way to get a Sasquatch. Base two door with nearly no options comes in just under $39k. It’ll probably be awhile before anyone is able to find that. Read more

At minimum, a base Bronco fully loaded (and Im just talking about things like the 2.7-liter engine, hard top and stuff. Not all the accessories or things like overhead aux switches and a brush guard.) with the Sasquatch package will set you back just under $44k. $43,720 to be exact. Read more

I hope you at least sprung for the Smokehouse Brisket. Only a poor would settle for a Beef and Cheddar.

I suspect that, since the Bentgaya borrowed its V6 from Audi, they did it again. I think this may be the same twin turbo 2.9-liter V6 in the Audi RS5. If thats the case it’s slightly detuned in this. The RS5 makes 444 horses. Read more

I kid you not, those stickers are all for show and for locations to make it seem for corporate as if “The cars are cleaned and sealed until customers break the seal”. I rented with Hertz at the beginning of the year. Me and the associate there did the walk around inspection to check for damage. The guy literally took Read more

Eh I’d have to disagree. I had a Sonic LT hatch and the odo stopped working on it. I never knew how many miles it had on it after about 105,000. It wasnt even working when I traded it in. It was cool in its motorcycle like design though. Read more

Eh. Theres nothing funky on the market anymore. And the ones that could be aren’t. CH-R is small and boring. I was going to suggest the Kona but its boring too and the N doesn’t come out until this fall and is probably going to be way more than $30k. Read more

Last time I checked, it cost the 2020 equivalent of just under $339,000,000 to build. So $104,000,000 more than it costs to repair it. Read more

Thats exactly how Toyota described it. I think they are trying to portray the Track mode as more than it is when it really just seems to be what you see above.  Read more

Oh yea in the right weather. But it was nearly 100 degrees that day. Wasn’t going to walk in heat like that. Read more
