Weekend QOTD Roundup March 02, 2024

Earlier this week when I asked what the dumbest car myths are, it opened the floodgates to everything from tall tales to flat-out lies. I had no idea the absurd lengths drivers are willing to go to prevent any potential damage to their cars. It arguably borders on superstition, because there isn’t any evidence that their methods even work. Without further ado, here are the dumbest car myths: - Ryan Erik King Read More

I asked you guys about car decisions you immediately regretted, and I received an emotional outpouring that matched my own story. Most of us have the one that got away, but even sadder were those of you had to love your vehicles and then let them go. We also had wrenching faux pas, confusing two car garages and more. Click through to soak in the despair a little. - Erin Marquis Read More

Headlights have been lighting our way since the earliest days of the automobile, so that means there have been countless interesting headlight designs throughout those many, many decades. Last week we asked you to share your favorite headlight designs, and despite my expansive and entirely unnecessary mental repository of headlight design knowledge, y’all had still some surprises for me in your answers! - Logan Carter Read More

We’ve all been there, stuck in an argument with someone online or in person over a supposed car fact that they hold as an absolute truth. For example, manual cars might be more enjoyable to drive, but they aren’t more fuel-efficient than modern automatic transmissions. Some drivers just need to have objective proof to defend their subjective preferences despite it not mattering at all. - Ryan Erik King Read More

The world of cars is a complicated one, and every driver’s desires are slightly different. Thankfully there are dozens of automakers building hundreds of different kinds of cars all over the world, and if you want to pick something on the used market, your available numbers grow exponentially. Let’s say you’ve got a two car garage and a reasonably approachable budget (say under $100,000). Given your druthers, if you had to pick just two cars to serve as your “solution” to the problem of needing a daily driver and a fun car, which two cars would you choose? - Bradley Brownell Read More

Just this week, it was announced that a road-going version of the stunning Jaguar CX-75 had finally been created almost 14 years after the car was first unveiled. As a result, I found myself thinking that the Jag could have been unveiled today, and its design would still look breathtaking. Some cars just don’t age, it turns out. Then, there are the others. - Owen Bellwood Read More

Folks, there are a whole lot of cars out there, and they aren’t all going to be winners. Some of them are just going to look and feel downright dumb, and that’s what leads us to today’s question. - Andy Kalmowitz Read More

If you’ve done everything perfect in life, well, congratulations, you freak. The rest of of us live lives of quiet desperation, always wondering what could have been if we had just been more bold, less reckless and everywhere in between - Erin Marquis Read More

Automotive advertising can be hit or miss. Sometime it succeeds. But often, it misses, mostly because they try too hard. The second-hand embarrassment can get strong. - Lawrence Hodge Read More

When I asked you all to tell me your ideal two-car garage “solution” earlier this week, I certainly didn’t expect to be quite as overwhelmed with differing responses as I was. I guess when you ask car enthusiasts to talk about their favorite cars, they’ll just jump with joy at the opportunity. I get it. I’m just like you. We’re built from the same stuff. After sifting through hundreds of your two-car solutions, I have determined that these are a few of the very best suggestions. - Bradley Brownell Read More
