It’s the end of the day in America, which means many of you will be consuming dinner, if you haven’t already. Before you fire up that stove, read these comments. Let these food comments on a car site get your stomach rumbling.
Matt wrote a Morning Dump that contained a story about the LEPAS L8 Chinese crossover that looks vaguely like a Jaguar and will be sold in the UK. Urban Runabout:
“LEPAS, which combines “Leopard”, “Leap” and “Passion”, has been created to….”
…replace Jaguar.
It even looks like a Jaguar.
Strangek:
Ah yes. JAGUAR, which combines “Jackal”, “Guacamole”, and “Arby’s”…
I wrote about the weird progress of the Donut Lab solid-state battery. Carbon Fiber Sasquatch:
This would be a Cruller joke if it’s fake but I know a lot of OEMs will be Jelly if it’s real. Maybe this weird marketing drip is to have the public Glaze over some of the shortcomings or the marketing team is trying to Fritter away some free advertising.
Gubbin:
Call me Old Fashioned, but while I’m glad to see these issues Raised, playing fast and loose with the truth is just the Devil’s Food.
Jason wrote about Toyota’s only production vehicle with a “Midgate,” the bB. James McHenry:
Never before has something with so many hinges seemed quite so unhinged.
Hoonicus:
Bring it on home to me. bB King ranch edition.
Brian wrote about how Ford recalled the Explorer over failed toe links, which could cause a rear wheel to turn. Sid Bridge:
Just slap some Firestone tires on there and good to go.
Mrbrown89:
Add some takata airbags to make sure you rest for good.
TheDrunkenWrench:
*Ralph Nader stare*.
Have a great evening, everyone!

Yeah, I’ve been craving donuts since Tuesday. Why do you ask?
I’m always glad to feed lines to those who are more clever than I.
Now back to your regularly scheduled guacamole from Arbys
I still maintain that a jackal-meat and guacamole sandwich would fit right in at Arby’s.
I’m happy to see *Ralph Nader stare* made it; I got a sensible chuckle out of that one.
Thank you for your kinds words. I do it for the people, not for the money that my employer is unknowingly paying me to peruse news sites during work hours.
*Chief Workplace Efficiency Officer stare*
Fire me if you dare, I was the only one who applied for this position, and it’s holding up your entire EV training program. Muahahah
Complete fluke. I will never reach such comment heights again.
Even a broken clock is drunk twice a day! Or something like that.
Point is, we believe in your commentary greatness. Like a Phoenix from the ashes, I’m sure you’ll rise again!
Inscrutable, the firing off of schnappes.
TheDrunkenWrench cleaning up in here! Two days in a row! Matt, you gonna hire that lunatic or what?
That would require me to be reliable and consistent.
One of these days I’ll submit a freelance piece, so I can be turned down like an outcast looking for a prom date.
You never know man, I pitched the insane idea of me reviving the MR column… I’ve been able to con them into letting me continue to do it nearly 2 years later.
The Motorsports Rabies column? I didn’t know the problem was widespread enough to need it’s own series!
You haven’t been following that one? Oh man now I’m offended. It’s bad! Why do you think the racers are all so fearless? I think at this point they intentionally get it so they can be more competitive, until their heart gives out anyway.
I suppose when they cracked down on F1 drivers being spun out of their gourds on drugs & alcohol, they had to try SOMETHING.
Same
Or like SWG trying to get a Jaguar article approved?
I’m like the Canadian SWG! If he was shorter, and less handsome, and more cynical.
Ive noticed that too, almost like a French figure skating judge is moon lighting at The Autopian.
