Weirdly, none of the ID.4s that I’ve driven (both RWD and AWD) were as frustrating as Cammisa’s experience. The infotainment was slow, laggy, and unintuitive, but the windows were fine, the doors opened when the handles were pulled, and the assistance systems didn’t freak out. Read more

Extremely helpful words from my lawyer/wife regarding things that are illegal: Read more

I have no idea if you’ll ever get this notification (Kinja!!!!!) but thank you. Read more

Now hear me out: Volkswagen Jetta TDI. Read more

One thing to note is that if you end up in a situation where your car is floating (and thus sinking) every second counts. Forget ten minutes, if you’re real unlucky, your car can be fully submerged in less than a minute. And a sedan might take around three or four on a good day. Your best bet is to waste no time in… Read more

Keep in mind that those are reported sexual assaults. It’s well known that a number of sexual assaults never get reported. So your 1:384,000 is just the baseline. And that doesn’t even consider other awful behavior... Read more

OH! I forgot to say, but freaking good picks this week! Read more

Cranking but not starting with a Smart will sometimes either be an issue with the immobilizer not disabling or perhaps a bad fuel pump. Given that car’s mileage and cosmetic condition, I’m leaning fuel pump. Easy test: shoot some fire-make-it-happener down its throat and step back. Read more

I saw one with the same mileage, but silver, in Indiana a few months ago. It was half of the price. Read more

You had me at the E63, then sealed the deal with a vintage ambulance to tow it once it inevitably breaks down. Read more

I did indeed bid a farewell to Jalop! You can find me at a similar site featuring other Jalop alumni. :) Read more

I concur with Jose’s love of the C4. I still dream of owning one in a cherry red, drop-top, and the goofy digital instrumentation. Read more

There will certainly be updates to this story as it develops! Read more

I cannot recommend it enough. And while the adventure alone makes it worth it, you may also learn how to navigate without GPS. Through this trip and others I’ve learned how to get across the country without needing a digital voice telling me how to get there. Read more

Funny enough, this site has given me the freedom to do whatever I wanted, and I can’t thank it enough for that. Now, I don’t worry about having all sorts of strings and whatnot stuck to me. Read more

This thought has crossed my mind more than once, then I remembered the cost of fuel! Read more

U-Haul’s trailers are of a proprietary design and built at a handful of plants. I’ve spoken to someone involved in U-Haul’s designs in the past and they told me that the company examines competing trailers then looks for what it could do to improve them. Read more

That just about sums it up! The worst that mine had going for it before it stopped running was an oil leak. An author over at Oppositelock also discovered that the engines basically eat themselves, eventually necessitating an engine replacement once you get some real mileage on them. Read more

I can confirm that I was not in the studio forcing Steve to sing the praises of the Swatch Mercedes Art Fortwo. Read more
