There's also some Megane in there, with the rear quarter haunches and liftgate shape. Love it.

In 1992, before game 3 of the World Series, the Marines carried the flag of Canada and the Mounties carried the US flag. It was b/c the Marines carried the 🇨🇦 upside down in Atlanta days before, but still, a lovely scene. Guessing we won’t be seeing such a scene tonight. #BlueJays

I’m going to miss this masterpiece, the 26 Porsche 911 Carrera T. So will my son. It was quite the family hauler.

I know this Bronco has an actual special edition name, but I’m calling it the Tequila Sunrise anyway.

If you read just one Mustang GTD story, read Kurt's! It's quite good. Or, if you've already read a GTD story, read another! And have it be Kurt's! www.edmunds.com/car-news/202...

Who OK’d this corrugated dash trim in the Cadillac Vistiq? It’s directly hidden from all inside the cabin behind the jumbo display, yet always reflects into the windshield. It’s as if that was the sole point. What were they thinking???

Automotive "first loves." How much did your first car (or at least the first car you actually liked) influence your automotive tastes? Do you always keep going back to the same general thing, if not literal thing?

This iX3 wheel is bonkers. And look at all of those touch-sensitive buttons. I’m sure everyone will love them and there will be no complaints.

It’s now been 6 weeks since a softball-sized chunk of concrete smashed our Optiq’s windshield at 75 mph. There’s glass inside. Was told 5 weeks ago by Cadillac dealer there were 12 windshields in stock. Their go-to glass shop is still waiting for it with no updates. Optiq remains in garage

#MLBReallignment by me. Maintains current AL/NL teams, no switching, 1 time zone diff max for only 2-4 teams, adds/renews some geographic rivals (PIT & PHI; TOR, DET & CLE), puts Texas teams with others in central time, gets COL away from NL West (owner should love that). What say you?

It’s been hard to. Softball-sized rock/concrete chunk smashed into it at 75 mph when I was en route to the DMV for plates. Been parked for safety for 3+ weeks. So much force, there was glass in the car.
