The Rules of “Thrash, Own, Crush”: You’re given a choice of three cars, and you must decide which of each you would prefer to thrash, own, or crush. If you’re thinking this is the automotive version of “eff-marry-kill”, I commend your precise inference, Watson. How would you have your fun in the Sun with this […] More »
