Fleeting Thoughts

2024 Lucid Air Pure MILES: 2995 OBSERVED MPGe: 107 It isn't often that Car and Driver gets this excited about a base model, but the 430-hp Lucid Air Pure is one that deserves as much praise as the 1234-hp Air Sapphire. Not so much for its 4.3-second dash to 60 mph or its 419-mile EPA range - both solid performances - but for the exceptional value and truly luxurious experience behind the wheel.

Forget the bestseller list—we’re stacking our to-read pile with novels in which cars are the main characters.

IT WAS A MEDIOCRE BOOK, the kind you pick up at the airport and forget by the time you get to baggage claim. I couldn't tell you the plot, but I can tell you which cars were in it. I remember because they were unusual models: an Oldsmobile 442, a Dodge Shelby Charger, and a '73 Plymouth Road Runner.

Time to Re-Tire

Ford Maverick Lobo HIGHS: Raucous Lobo mode, shrewd parts-bin upgrades, rad (standard) wheels. LOWS: Not so sporty in other modes, no extra horsepower, would be a lot cooler if it had a grippier tire.
