If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Jeep with a large vinyl sticker on the back window in the shape of a check engine light with "I'm gonna let it shine" written underneath. Would've been even better of it was on a BMW.

When equipped with the I5, it was essentially a second-gen Vigor.

On the way to work I walk by a little law office and they're doing some work on the outside of the building and the contractor that was there this morning had an F-150 diesel. First time I can recall seeing one of those in the wild, at least that I've noticed. That option was recently discontinued.

Do you know how licensing and insurance works for that?

It doesn't, that's why they're a f*cking menace.


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...
