I still can't believe we are already a quarter of the way through the 21st century!

During the past 25 years, there have been significant changes to the auto industry, both in terms of technology, consumer preferences, and car culture in general. While new car models (and manufacturers!) are entering the market every year, many older models that used to be the hottest thing on four wheels are being mercilessly discontinued by the automakers. These cars were so unique, exciting, and culturally important, that they left a mark on automotive history, and are revered by those who were fortunate enough to have owned or driven them. It genuinely saddens me each time one of the more interesting car models get axed, but what makes it worse is that they tend to be replaced by generic egg-shaped blobs.

Today, we are kicking off a 3-part series on iconic cars that we have lost over the first quarter of this century. This is a celebration of automotive icons that are no longer in production, and one can only hope: proud owners of these fine vehicles keep great care of them, so their legacy may live on!

这辆1995年的“新”车，飘洋过海历经大半年的时间，终于来到了我的手上。这期节目分享一些第一周的ownership初体验。

今天的闲谈节目，我们讲到迈阿密看车展前所未见的人山人海和交通堵塞，以及谷歌地图的导航是如何坑爹的。

做完瑜伽开敞蓬车回家遇到乞讨的人，还被人骂的哑口无言。这件事让我想起了之前另一个跟我讨要东西的人……

另外，我发现Cybertruck貌似是一个极其优秀的给自己家小买卖打广告的车子，不仅因为它自带吸睛效果，宣传成效显著，也因为这车拿来公务，特别有利于省税。

欢迎留言跟咱一起讨论这些日常生活中的跟车沾边的话题。记得点赞&分享啊朋友们！
