That was just a shot to get us out of the parking lot. If you’ll notice later they were wearing their seatbelts when they actually drove back. Read more

I tried to fire you anyway but apparently I’m “not your supervisor” or some such nonsense. Read more

LOL, you know so little about how the Internet works. I promise you, there’s no secret pot of traffic honey out there for economic analysis. Read more

Interesting theory. Instead of getting sports cars we end up getting hot hatches because they’re cheaper to produce. Read more

Depends on the car and the person, but generally nothing. A report is filed, someone apologizes and that’s it. Relationships are harder to repair than cars. Read more

I picked round numbers to be illustrative. I’d guess that at $150K most cars would sell with 10,000 miles at something closer to $100,000. Read more

The track part might not be, but the “worked in” and “best tires” part are. Again, it depends on the cars. Read more

You can’t request a specific car, generally, although you can ask for a less fully loaded one and sometimes they’ll oblige. Read more

There are three ex-Texan staff writing for Jalopnik and I’m sure any of us would have jumped at the opportunity. Read more

The Hellcat was a different car, maybe? Either way, it was pretty clean when I got it. Read more

New York, in many ways, is the worst place to deliver a car but also one of the most important. Read more

I end up, through my job, spending a lot of time with some pretty great instructors on the track. However, it’s roughly once every eight months and by the time I get back on the track I’ve forgotten almost everything. How frequently do you need to get track time for it to really stick? Read more

Jason, Raph, and Stef all race, plus we’ve had a few “friends” volunteer. More exciting things coming in the future. Read more

I’d like to see multiple cars off of that one platform, for the U.S. and Europe. Maybe they’re doing it! I don’t know. Read more

This space is so boring, generally, and that ain’t boring. I’m not sure how it’ll age, but it’s the only car in the class I turn my head to see. Read more

New column, what are your thoughts? I’m doing my best to not turn into De Lorenzenstein.
