This is a great question. I went with simplicity and design and price would closely follow. It surprised me to realize everything else was just many bonuses. The rest of this post is a fist shaking rant. I’m so tired of auto manufacturers chasing trends and treating me like a moron. I don’t...

In the hypothetical future where I own a Slate, I would be all over an LSD upgrade if they made one available.

On AWD: Her response was so perfect. People insist on needing AWD to get through a bit of snow. 50/50 weight distribution and good driving is going to get you through so much better than you’d think. Its more fun this way too. On Doug: In the ultra-affordable car videos I’ve seen from Doug he...

That horn has so much character. It is so friendly, almost like it’s saying hello. The haters have masculinity issues or something this is exactly the sound a small economy car should make. It has me grinning.

Full disclosure, I didn’t watch the video. But, I have watched Doug’s review of the Mitsubishi Mirage, the most affordable economy car on the market at the time. He roasted it at every inch for being what they are: cheap cars. It definitely rubbed me the wrong way- like he reviewed it just to...
