If, like me, you were working today and missed the second running of the Wienie 500, never fear. Courtesy of Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the full replay is on YouTube. It’s like one long dad joke with double entendres, and it is GLORIOUS.

I cannot tell you how badly I wanted this car when I was teenager.

Dear @Avis, please stop buying Mitsubishi Outlanders. They are pieces of crap with no redeeming qualities whatsoever for drivers or passengers.

RAV4 XLE I’ve-had-it-3-hours review, cont’d:

  • back seat πŸ‘ŽπŸ» (it’s a good thing my smaller children are sitting back there)
  • cargo area πŸ‘πŸ» (very large capacity; maybe push back the rear seats a few inches)
  • horn (yep, already had to use it) πŸ‘ŽπŸ» (sounds like a clown car).

Long story, but I’m driving a Toyota RAV4 XLE for a week. The I’ve-had-it-3-hours review:

  • exterior looks, πŸ‘πŸ»
  • CarPlay πŸ‘πŸ»
  • A/C πŸ‘πŸ» (it’s Texas)
  • driver’s seat πŸ‘ŽπŸ» (squishes the man parts)
  • electrical idle cutoff πŸ‘ŽπŸ» (jerks entire car when brake is released)
  • road noise πŸ‘πŸ»
  • engine noise πŸ‘ŽπŸ»

And now I have to find this for mine. Named, appropriately enough, Connor.

Also a nice self-own in the Christmas Vacation-inspired Mach-E commercial with the line “when cars used to make sounds.” #MakeMuscleCarsRoarAgain

The Mustang Mach-E is an utter travesty. Looks nothing like a Mustang, for one. More like a mix between a Tesla Model X and a Mazda crossover.
