Right around this time last week, we featured a QOTD about the most boring car you’d ever driven. Searching through your memories for a boring car was apparently very easy, as nearly 200 comments quickly gathered together to cover all things boring and car. Today, we’ll head the opposite direction and talk about driving excitement. Think […]

QOTD: Can You Hit ’em Where They Ain’t? (Feeling Flush Edition, Pt. 3)
This week is the third and final installment of our QOTD series about cornering the used car market and finding the most bang for the buck. We’re going all out for this finale, and giving you plenty of money to shop. And when we say plenty of money, we’re talking more than triple the lowest budget […]
QOTD: First in Line at the Going Out of Business Sale?
Like faces in the community, the passing of each year bring the appearances of new car models and the disappearance of old, familiar ones. Product changeover is constant. Picking up a just-released model ensures you’ll be seen driving a “new” car until refresh time rolls around, or, if you’re something of an oddball, until the […]
QOTD: What’s Left for Retro?
There’s no debating the fact that I draw far more inspiration from older, classic designs than futuristic ones. Hardly progressive of me, I know. While some want nothing more than to gaze upon an autonomous egg and envision a life where the act of driving gives way to the act of commuting, face buried in […]
QOTD: What Was Your First Showroom Vision?
There’s not a soul in here who doesn’t, from time to time, go and make a nuisance of themselves in a dealer showroom. I’m not talking about wasting the time of the sales staff, or even helping themselves to copious amounts of free coffee during scheduled maintenance. No, I’m talking about simply wandering through the […]
QOTD: What Popular Vehicles Do You Loathe?
In last week’s QOTD, we made a big list of cars that were considered the oddball choice among their market segment, but which you loved anyway. This week we head in the opposite direction. We’re talking about the popular vehicles you loathe. This time around, there’s a rule against vehicles in the oddball or outcast […]
QOTD: How Much Do You Hate Stop-Start Technology?
One of my biggest pet peeves is the very existence of stop-start systems in modern vehicles. In theory, they’re intended to improve fuel economy by shutting down the engine while the car is stationary — when you’re effectively getting zero miles per gallon. In practice, they’re more of a nuisance than anything else. Every time I’m […]
QOTD: Forget Newsletters – Which Automaker Would You Subscribe to?
Newsletters, podcasts, streaming music services — our quest for consumption and thirst for variety knows no bounds. But lately, automakers have taken to experimenting with the same business model. A range of cars, plus insurance coverage, for a fixed monthly price. Sounds intriguing, if the price is right. Cadillac’s doing it. Bimmer, too. And so is […]
QOTD: One Green Steed to Do It All?
Picture it. A new world government, headquartered in Belgium, has been elected to oversee our affairs. There, our scientific betters assemble to map out a progressive yet benevolently authoritarian plan for all the planet’s people, causing H.G. Wells and other dead utopians to rise from the grave in orgasmic bliss. In this hypothetical scenario, consumer […]
QOTD: What’s the Worst Looking Car From the Year You Were Born?
Today’s QOTD idea came about back in the latter half of May, when Matthew Guy pondered the exact opposite of this question. He is very old, and so in his malaise birth year of 1980 Guy pegged BMW’s 6 Series as the best looking car available. This week, we move things to a more negative […]
