Solution to Evan Birnholz's July 27 crossword, ‘Captain Obvious Gets a Car'
Periodic reminder: Any comments about The Post's new online crossword format should go to games@ rather than the comment section here.
Captain Obvious is back for another adventure. This time he has the keys to go for a spin in his new car.
It's not uncommon for me to use Captain Obvious puzzles as semiautobiographical updates on my own life (like when he became a dad, or when he went to the beach while I was in Hawaii), but that isn't the case today. I'm still driving the same car that we've had since early 2020. Some phrases that the Captain couldn't use this week include THAT'S THE TICKET, TOOT YOUR OWN HORN, IT'S MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY, and PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL.
