Your Next Car Should Be Green
Your Next Car Should Be Green-August 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:51

Hello readers, I know you see my name and think “Oh goody, Tom is here to drop some car buying wisdom on me.” And you would be right—while you should pay attention to all that math stuff I keep harping about, my most important tip is that your next car should be green.

You may have noticed that we have featured a few green cars on this fine website recently. Our man Andrew got to rock a green which he liked better than the newer and faster DB11. Do you know why the DB9 was better?

That’s right, it was green. Had the DB11 come in green, I bet Mr. Collins would have had a different opinion.

Our friend Jeff Glucker from Hooniverse also drove the new in a stunning shade of green. It was an awesome car, mostly due to the fact that it was green. The Audi is available in other wonderful colors like Nardo Grey, but they are not as good as green.

The world ahead of me is nothing but red dirt and blue sky, bisected by a single snake of…

If you like British cars like Mini Coopers, Land Rovers or Jaguars, the only real appropriate color is green. You could spend a small fortune on a, but you don’t have to.

It is possible to get a fun and fast car for a reasonable price in green, like the 2018 Volkswagen GTI.

Or maybe you are like the millions of car buyers who just want a practical family car. No problem! The Subaru Outback comes in Wilderness Green Metallic, for all your outdoor adventures.

“But I don’t like green,” you may be saying.

Nonsense! Green is good. It is good because it is not white or grey or silver. that I would consider acceptable. But blue is not green, and blue is still “mainstream.” You aren’t mainstream; you are different. Be different.

Your next car should be green.

Why Buy A Bugatti Centodieci When You Can Have This F-16 Fighter Jet For Less?
Why Buy A Bugatti Centodieci When You Can Have This F-16 Fighter Jet For Less?
The $8,878,800 (plus tax!) list price of the really makes you think. The fact that there’s a market for such a preposterous toy is a pretty clear indicator that some people are too rich. Then again–why would you park among peasants in one of these when I could hook...

The Lada Niva Refuses To Die, 42 Years And Counting
The Lada Niva Refuses To Die, 42 Years And Counting
If there was even a shred of hope for my objectivity, it was gone as soon as I climbed inside the 2019 Lada Niva, slammed its startlingly thin door shut, and felt the 84 horsepower engine rumble to life. Releasing the clutch, I heard the familiar ghost-like howl of the...

At $195,000, Could This 2015 Panther WaterCar Be Fun If By Land And Two Times As Much If By Sea?
With the threat of global climate change supposedly looming, there’s a strong possibility that many of our favorite coastal roads will eventually be under water. With today’s Panther Amphibious Car that won’t be a problem. Let’s see if its price will be. Colin Chapman is famous for his efforts...

The 2019 Jaguar F-Type V6 May Be Old But It Still Rips
The 2019 pretty much looks like the 2013 Jaguar F-Type; it’s old news. Then again, so are Converse sneakers and Coca-Cola. The F-Type is not the freshest or most technologically impressive modern car but I’ll be damned it doesn’t hit the spot every single time. (: Jaguar loaned me...

$19.8 Million Sale Proves We Should All Go Back In Time And Buy A Warehouse Full Of McLaren F1s
There are certain cars whose values have shot up so much that we should all kick ourselves for not having filled warehouses with them decades ago. Air-cooled Porsche 911s and s come to mind, though one of the kings of collector-car appreciation has to be the McLaren F1, one...
