Maybe the Red Bull hasn’t kicked in yet, but the two-door Jeep take doesn’t seem to explain why you shouldn’t buy specifically a two-door Jeep. I mean, the entire answer could be applied to any 4x4, truck, or vehicle often bought as a status symbol. Read more

As my wife/attorney would suggest: Sue them both. The cop admitted that they’re ticketing drivers out of retaliation for the dealership’s screw up and the dealer made the screw up in the first place. Read more

The aircraft attempted to depart a little over a day before Milton made landfall. The current reported cause of the crash was an engine failure, which wouldn’t have anything to do with an incoming hurricane. For more context, the local commercial airports were open until that morning/afternoon and there were still… Read more

The wild thing is how quickly the highways devolved. I was just in Florida on Saturday and the roads were clear, same with Atlanta when I was driving through on Sunday. By Monday, I heard from my connections down south that I-75 turned into a parking lot, which is nutty. Seems I somehow got in and out of Florida… Read more

Very true! Porsche chose between two hot trends (at the time) and thankfully chose the correct one. Minivans have been reduced to a niche while SUVs are basically the default answer for many buyers. The Cayenne was very much the correct choice. Read more

Ah darn! Sometimes it’s hard for me to tell the difference between exaggeration and seriousness. :)

That Smart isn’t actually hitched up to the boat. :) Just a silly photo op that Smart owners love to do.

Hey now, I was the plane person here! :) Well, there was another plane person before me, but his latest exploits involve deciding to fly while wearing Apple Vision Pros, and he had more than enough hours in his logbook to know how dumb that was. Read more

He has a Figaro! But in typical Nissan Pike car fashion, it only looks like it has sealed beams. Instead, you have regular removable halogen bulbs behind glass lenses. Read more

As always, Technology Connections is great for general education, but the videos sometimes come with a caveat or a few. Read more

The tipping point for me is when even a short drive is annoying because of the mods. Read more

It varies by state and sadly, by cop. Here in Illinois, you can be ticketed for a contributing factor in failing to prevent a crash. Read more

You aren’t kidding. I went to Elkhart yesterday and spotted like 10 completely different state police cars. One was a candy red unmarked Charger with limo tint windows. Then there was a pickup truck that looked like a highway department vehicle, but it was clearly a cop truck. Read more
