How much time have you ever spent in a Prius, Matt? Maybe Neal and I need to come visit. Read more

Not likely...Matt would have more fun, anyway. Read more

I'm too tall for the original Insight. I backed it out of my driveway and parked it out front of the house and left it there until Honda came for it. Read more

This is not a classic Mercedes SL. This is not a BMW 7-series. It is not the McLaren F1 that Matt would sell his soul for. It is something to get around in. What was the Olds Cutlass in the 70s, the minivan in the 80s, the Ford Explorer in the 1990s? Mass market conveyances. Only this one uses a fraction of the CO2. Read more

That's your version of true love. My version of true love is that I'm paying $20 for gas every couple of weeks. Gas for less than a good bottle of wine. Read more

I'm irrelevant, too, then. This is the most important thing Neal said. Read more

All fixed — that's what happens when the Tigers lose 12-0, it knocks us off our copy editing feet. Read more

"Tough sledding" is an overused cliche. Read more

Es tut mir leid, Frau Merkel. Ich wurde von den Chevrolet-Schuhen abgelenkt. Read more

I'm not going to change Jalopnik's essential nature (and Matt and I have exchanged texts and talked about all this, don't think I don't know what else goes on). After all, it's an established brand. But we both want to make this the best car site in Car Land. My role is to inform you guys, and maybe be a little sly… Read more

Being an automotive journalist is a great joy and it also has responsibilities. One rule: first, do no harm — to yourself, to the car, and to other people. Driving that fast on a public road is stupid, at minimum, and self-indulgent at maximum. You aren't proving the car's capabilities. You're showing off. Read more

Hahahahahah! No, I invited him to make a special guest appearance. He's my Frank Ocean today. Read more

It's Jean Dujardin... Read more

That is the most awsome thing I can imagine. Yay for your dad. Read more

Hi, Kim, love watching competitive shooting and wish you lots of luck. Who inspired you to start working on cars? Dad, brothers, uncle? Read more

According to the Web, which I always trust, the idiom has its roots in the Middle Ages. After you sold your piglets at the market, you put them in sacks to carry them home (I'm assuming these are the kind you roast and serve on big platters with apples in their mouths.) But unscrupulous merchants would substitute… Read more

You don't work for Boeing, do you? (Inside aviation industry joke.) Read more

I was going to give you a photo of the system like the other blogs but I saw this one and cracked up. I'm glad you liked it. Read more

Believe it or not, there are lots of deer here in Metro Detroit. I once had one crash over my back fence and go leaping down the row of yards. I've had deer walk (saunter, actually) right across the road near my house. While I've never had to brake for them, there might be a distracted driver who just doesn't see… Read more

Thanks. I try to make it witty while still giving you something useful. Of course, there's only one Ray Wert. Read more
