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.

First time seen this electric scooter in the parking lot at works. Green Power

Do you know how licensing and insurance works for that?

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

Oh, so like a bicycle then.

But way faster especially for the physically less fit.

I feel like they're often bought by drunk drivers who lost their license and can't drive any more.  I'll see electric scooters like that zipping along bike paths and down sidewalks.  Bugs the hell outta me.

There was some :censor: on a scooter the other day holding up traffic on a 60km/h road, going like 35-40km/h. If you can't do the speed limit, gtfo of traffic.

That is great!

The slogans they are coming up with for the Stellantis electric empire, are, um, interesting:

Abarth: “Heating Up People, But Not the Planet”

Abarth’s commitment to “Heating Up People, But Not the Planet” could be seen as a pledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, or it could be interpreted as a call to cannibalism. Surely, somewhere there’s a cannibal behind the wheel of an electric Prius asking, “why not both?”

Opel/Vauxhall: “Green is the New Cool”

I had already laughed out loud at ten of these, and I still did a full spit-take when I read this one. “Green is the new cool?” Really, Stellantis? That’s what you’re going with here? Wow. Just wow.

This is arguably worse than unintentional cannibalism.

Well... 1960 of these made, approximately 800 or so in North America according to Rrocket & apparently there were 2 in Ottawa at one point... now one is in the Windsor region.

Bullit Mustang traded in down the road. Headed to auction I am guessing.

I saw a Volvo V90 Wagon yesterday.  Damn sleek looking car.  Low, Wide, and Long.  Pretty sexy. 

Like this:


Looked better in real life than in pictures.

Yeah but that thing wasn't a giant boat like the V90 is.  :P

I love the V90 but based on my experience in an S60 T6 I'm not a big fan of that drivetrain.

2012(?) C63 Coupe in for a tire swap. Sounds nice and mean. Look forward to test driving it later. For quality control, of course.
