New #WeirdCarBluesky challenge!

What is the smallest "trunk" with an emergency release?

I've seen some tiny frunk compartments with them. Probably smaller than the Ram Box.

Pics, or it didn't happen.

Since this US v AUS game is dull, here’s a sweet game-winning assist from today

WTF is this ad in my post?

Hahahaha. Did Bluesky just jump the shark in the worst way possible?

All the proof we need that the Dakota is going to be Gladiator based, which makes all the sense in the world.

The steakouse was famous for its own seasoning.

My friend worked in a steakhouse where this one guy used to bring his own spices and ask the chef to use them.

I recall the Dodge version had a vent you could close in the glove box.

Live like a hobo, but with cold things!

That might even fit in one of Honda's giant center console bins 👀

I had something recently, I forget what, that cooled the console when the air conditioning is on. I think the Dodge Journey did that with the glove compartment?

The problem is, you can't turn it off, so if you put your phone or wallet in the console it gets cold.

Arrgh, can't recall. Maybe a BMW?

OG Ford Flex had it in the second row

Hybrid was new for 2025 first time since 2015, that’s significant.

Kudos to Land Rover for carrying the console fridge flag. More vehicles need these.

Is their cut-off new or 2026 model year cars, or 2025?

The Civic Hatchback Hybrid was new for 2025. I think the Charger was actually a 2024 when the first ones came out.

Not sure about the rest of those commie cars.

They all migrated here!

Many of them have giant roof racks/cases and I've got one down the block with a full Line-x spray job and other protective gear. 😂

I expect it to be an unpleasant experience in extended range mode with that setup.

The iQ remains a common sight in NYC filling the last few feet between the crosswalk and next parked car.

I once jammed two car seats and my wife into one for a drive to NJ. That was NOT fun. I can still taste my knees.

It's fantastic!

(On paper. a year before it doesn't actually go on sale because they decided to bring HEMIs back instead because they couldn't make it work.)

I always loved the IDEA of the ForTwo, but the execution and pricing in the US was just not good. The Fiat 500 was so much more of a real car for often less money and you didn't miss out on that many more street parking spaces.

Along with being easy to park it also teaches lessons in bullying and physical suffering.
