It's 3:00 AM on a Sunday and you want new rims. I got you.

That's an interesting euphemism for Trump's penis

We talk about pedestrians, but these trucks also make old-fashioned cars more dangerous as well. Driving my Elantra this morning, and just looking at bumper heights level with my head, above the sedan's windowline.

These turned out a lot better than I thought they would.

Nothing is going to change here. The only recourse is to start charging the people who insist on trusting Musk with felony charges. I'd be fine if Texas arrested this guy for Manslaughter.

My only add to the "hood's too high" discourse is that improving pedestrian safety isn't even a blanket argument against SUVs -- popular models like the Honda CR-V do protect people outside the vehicle. It's just an argument against uniquely American giant trucks.

Usually the cars on Reddit's r/whatisthiscar don't stump me, but this is one I've never seen before

Thing I never knew existed -- a Seiko x Mazda Rotary watch from 1999:

I did not expect to see a Honda Beat at Capital Pride

Caught this at DC Pride and debated throwing it back

I grabbed this 1-of-300 Traska Chronograph for a great price from a trusted seller on Reddit. Easily the best thing the brand has ever done, and while far from perfect, that rotating seconds dial is just fascinating to see in action. I am smitten.

People romanticize old cars. But the 2001 Honda Accord mentioned in the lede wasn't exactly a model of safety against laxer crash test standards when it was first introduced 30 years ago.

Presenting your 2026 MLB World Series Champions, the Washington Nationals

Is this some sort of joke?

Imagine waking up to this in your bed

I need a can of motor oil, some Tide, a pair of flip flops, and some brass knuckles for...reasons, but I'm also hungry for some world-class sushi. Don't worry, I got you.

Oh god. In the world of the SpaceX valuation, everything Slate is doing now makes sense.

I have also yet to see a convincing argument that designing two separate window lifts -- cranks and a power switch -- actually saved a single dime for Slate.

Oh crap. I think I need this.

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you. I'm sure I win this, considering they only aired two episodes.

Swiss watchmaker Maurice Lacroix is introducing a lovely Lady Liberty-themed watch for America's 250th. Introducing the 40mm Liberty Aikon.

I just had an incredibly pleasant and thoroughly productive interaction with Bank of America.

ppl say politics are getting too ugly, but one of the Texas senate candidates just asked the other candidate out on a date and I think that's kind of cute

The funniest thing to me is how real marketing emails from Google end up in my Gmail's Spam folder.

Hyundai claims its new i20 supermini is "SUV-inspired," but all I see are design callbacks to great 80s subcompacts like the Ford Fiesta, Peugeot 205 and Fiat Ritmo. Like most new Hyundai designs, it's another banger.

When Stellantis crashes out and comes hat in hand AGAIN asking for a taxpayer bailout, every Democrat should be asking how much EV tech to keep the company competitive could have been developed for the money spent on this instead.

Picked up this Belhamel Contra A39 since I was looking for a fun white summer dial. Nicely made with a Miyota 9039 and a bezel that feels fantastic to turn, though the bracelet could use an extra pair of removable links. Looks great on a strap. Currently on sale for $427.

I just discovered that the owner of #302 of the Final 500 Oldsmobile Aleros bought it from salvage and has been doing a full restoration -- a true #weirdcarb hero.

God is a theater queen and you fuck with them at your own peril

If this were any more French, it would come with a beret and a pack of Gauloises.

Good morning to guillotines and guillotines only

OMG. It lives. It hasn't been driven in almost a decade and somehow, it LIVES.

My cocktail isn't black because of Coca-Cola. It's squid ink.

Wait till Europeans try fry sauce

Am I wrong for liking this? I've never looked at Movado, but this particular Heritage 1917 piece is quite handsome. Powered by a Sellita SW200 movement, so the price feels justified assuming the quality of the case is there.

My hot take about who is a real New Yorker is that it's anyone who calls one of the five boroughs home and that the fifth borough is Jersey.

Periodic reminder that the Bears are worth $8.9 billion and already fully own and control 320 freeway-adjacent acres of land next to a train station. If they want to build a new stadium, there is quite literally nothing stopping them from doing so. Illinois does not need to "act fast".

My hot take on speed limiters isn't that they're bad, but they're a silver bullet that will neither be anywhere near as successful as people think, nor will it address the infrastructure issues that are the heart of the problem.

You'll want to spend the next four minutes watching Anthony Head absolutely tear it up singing Sweet Transvestite from The Rocky Horror Picture Show in 2006.

Dr. Frank-N-Furter and Sweet Transvestite Anthony Head

Also, and this is a veeeery old discussion, aero shouldn't be that important for the speeds at which the thing will work (under 50 and maybe under 40mph) so another reason to forget dramatic stylings and focus on practicality

We really have not talked about how absolutely dismal the form factor is with these cars. It's 4" longer than a 5-seat Hyundai Kona but only has room for 2 adults. And a huge advantage of EVs is that they're supposed to make packaging more efficient, not less.

When I say I live in the center of the #Weirdcarbs Multiverse, I mean I have neighbors who daily drive these.

Mayor Wilson should respond by telling Kim it's a stupid question and she's a stupid person for asking it.

If one of you #weirdcarbs people doesn't buy this absolutely pristine, single-owner Chevrolet Dustbuster APV, I will be absolutely disappointed and disgusted in the entire lot of you. vanderbrinkauction.proxibid.com/1990-Chevrol...

I don't usually wear a lot of quartz watches, but this Lima Kronosprinter is a fun take on the Seiko VK64 meca-quartz movement, and I'm sure at least @tiredofcrazyshite.bsky.social will appreciate the Bauhaus design.

The (I assume) venture capital folks who bought Indian from Polaris last year, have started paying MAGA influencers to bad mouth Harley-Davidson? From what I can gather, these guys made all their money in L.A. parking lots and restaurants. www.thebulwark.com/p/inside-mag...

Wait, so solid-state batteries aren't anywhere near ready for prime time use in cars?

Stop what you're doing and watch this.
