Good evening everybody. There has to be "absolute silence" in Denver — NOT HERE. Read more

The Century is what Japanese companies use as a limo. There's a Toyota mini-test track out at Odaiba (an island built out of landfill that's sort of an amusement park/mall thingy). I asked to test drive a Century and they thought I was a little nuts. Read more

My greatest indulgence is driving in a big city — not getting stuck in traffic, but figuring out all the secret one-ways and fastest ways up and down and over and back. I get a lot of tips from cabbies and put them to good use. For instance: Read more

They're both on rivers. Read more

Nobody nominated the Zaha Hadid designed BMW factory in Leipzig? It's gorgeous. Like a car-building museum. I've been to 99 car plants and just one of the ones on this list. Read more

My Gen Y observation: 1) everyone's parents drove them everywhere, so even kids with licenses don't have that much experience driving. If you don't drive, it's hard to acquire a desire to own a car 2) cars are low on the priority list when you have student loans and other expenses 3) like generations of us before… Read more

Exactly. You especially have to watch your speed limit at the end of the month, when it's ticket quota time. Read more

Part of the reason we don't drive faster is that our speed limits were lowered to 55 mph in an energy saving move. Some places just never put them back up to 70 mph or higher. A second reason is that while we're a big country, our cities get very jammed up so a higher speed limit is irrelevant. But I agree: in wide… Read more

Our cars weren't destroyed. I assume in you're in a lane-blocking accident, they come. But not on Saturday night on Michigan Avenue. We gave up after an hour. Read more

It's more orderly, let's put it that way. My big frustration on American roads is people who dawdle in the left lane, or tailgate you in the right lane. That generally doesn't happen in Germany. Read more

I've driven the Autobahn, and I've driven American highways where people are routinely driving 85 mph. I prefer the Autobahn, for these reasons: Read more

In my last car crash, I was turning legally onto Michigan Avenue in Chicago (there were two right hand turn lanes) when someone came up the right-hand turn lane and plowed into me. We pulled our cars over and called the police, who never came. It turns out in Chicago, you have to go TO the police station in order to… Read more

You can probably take a bus there. I can't guarantee it. But let us know how it went. Read more

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. That's a travesty. Julia Child is a SAINT. Read more

He works waaaay too much. I can attest. Read more

I lived in Chicago for a year. Stay off I-90 at rush hour, you'll want to shoot yourself. Agree with Matt on drive all the way north up Lake Shore (it will cut west at around 5700 North). Then, drive South on Lake Shore past the Art Institute, and stay on it when it becomes South Shore Boulevard. You'll wind through…

Jet fuel is basically kerosene. Please do not put this in your car. Read more

I'm pretty jazzed about the idea of an electric jet. Of course, I don't know if an electric jet would ever fly (hahahaha) but the fact that somebody still cares about supersonic flight is encouraging. Read more

I tried to find one with a moustache AND the other members of Queen, but it was either or. Read more

Well said. My biggest issue with Cadillac and Lincoln is consistency. You can't just say, "this car is every bit as good as a BMW___" you have to prove it, day in and day out. Also, you have to give the owners of that BMW a reason to buy your car instead. The biggest reason goes back to consistency: you have proved,… Read more
