He'll drive cars, get inside cars,
All to help the public buy cars

He'll drive up, and say just that he's
"Glad to have you with us"

All the boys think he's the guy,
He's got John Davis eyes

His skin is olive gold
He's always ready to drive
His tire pressure's never low
He's got John Davis eyes

In case you were wondering, this is what it looks like when you run over a mayonnaise packet.

The only "trad" lifestyle I want back is when you could buy a pickup truck and an articulating tractor from the same dealership.

Given it's quality, it's the kind of movie I'd normally say "wait for streaming" to watch, but given that the visuals are the best part, watching it on a TV kind of negates that.

TRON Ares continues the long-held franchise tradition of amazing visuals and music with abysmal writing.

I miss the old days when they at least tried to hide their bias before giving Car of the Year to whoever bought the most print advertising.

(actually these offer very little grip and are probably awful in winter if the doors freeze shut)

I love AMC Ambassadors, but somebody just paid $112,750 for this car which is just insanity.

Idk if that's actually true, but it sure sounded like a compressed livestream, not an actual broadcast FM signal. It would surprise me if Tesla had been using this cost-cutting approach for years.

Has anybody else noticed this?

I know the cheapo Model 3/Y eliminating FM radio has made headlines, but from my limited experience with other older Teslas, the radio doesn't sound like broadcast FM radio anyways.

It sounds like an app, like TuneIn radio, playing a livestream of nearby stations found using geolocation...

Plus the EUV body has slightly less cargo room than the standard Bolt did.

This has to be one of my favorite car documentaries: the story of Horatio Nelson Jackson, first man to cross the entire United States by automobile in 1903.

With no preparation and purely out of spite, he made a $50 bet that he could cross the country in 90 days, then bought a used car and did it.

So it took 4 years off and came back with the same styling, same range, same price, moderately faster charging, and no carplay.

Ok, this was a fun one to write... By all metrics, a Jeep DJ-5 was already pretty miserable to drive. Then add 1,300 lbs of batteries, limit the top speed to 40 mph, the range to 30 miles, and add a gasoline-burning cabin heater.

That's the Jeep DJ-5E Electruck!

EVs have faced a long road to mass-market adoption. A forgotten step on that journey is AMC's production of electric Jeeps for the USPS.

I’ve never made the same chili twice, and they’ve ranged from almost inedible to the best chili I’ve ever had. But since I didn’t write it down, I have no way to replicate it.
