I’m a liberal-leaning independent (especially on social issues), but just cannot take CNN seriously with headlines like “NBAer teaches son to drive Ferrari” (this was just a few days ago). As a news network they are a joke. PBS Newshour is the only worthwhile program, unless you have the time to look at both FoxNews…

I did a 2" lift on our XJ to get a bit more ground clearance as I’ve mashed one rocker panel, but kept the stock tire size. Just enough to clear most obstacles we face but still looks pretty stock.

Glad to hear - not everyone does their own research into these things and sometimes expections are sky-high. Good luck and keep loving your child with all your heart! Do you have a GoFundMe page?

I hope you’re joking.....because it’s pretty much impossible for a FWD car to share a platform with a RWD car...

I hope this “clinic” is legit. I’m a pediatric oncologist and I’ve had patients go to clinics that demanded up-front payments for experimental treatment that falls outside of FDA-approved clinical trials. I’ve reported them (the clinics) to the FDA and other licensing authorities to no avail. Now, I’m the first to…

I think you are the one sounding pretty dumb. Cadillac has had 3 recent world-class chassis (sigma - 1st and 2nd CTS, 1st gen SRX and final gen STS, alpha - ATS, 3rd gen CTS, and omega - CT6) - and only one of which (alpha) was shared with a Chevy (Camaro) and no one is complaining about that.

Your actions, sir, are the king of thing which makes me proud to be a car guy (or gal). If you are ever through Fort Wayne again I’ll buy you a beer or ten - and drive you there in my own beloved Cherokee.

So “Arteon” must be “Malibu” in German?

Flat Rock, MI (Mustang - I think it was 65% N. American content)

The basis of your title, and of your closing argument, is an assumption that the only reason one would vote for Trump is that they are racist. You have the evidence to support that young, white voters voted for Trump (or Republican) in numbers like other whites, but you didn’t really present any evidence for WHY these…

Gotcha. Kind of hard to tell from the pics. Is the AWD system One that only sends power to rear when fronts lose grip or is there a fixed minimum split? It would still under steer like a FWD car if the former.

Cool truck, and I’d agree with your post if you said post-1975ish American cars. However, most 60's and older American cars were (and still are) just as reliable, and MUCH easier to maintain, then same-period Japanese cars. It wasn’t until the early-sixties that Toyota embraced W.E. Deming’s quality methods and the mid…

That looks to me like a GLA, which IS front-wheel (or all wheel) drive.

A colleague of mine had a 2013 RR Sport, and it was a beautiful truck. However, it was in the shop so much (and the nearest RR dealer is ~90 miles away) that he finally said “enough” and now drives a Merc GLE AMG 63. Thing is ugly as sin but it starts every time. Even if it didn’t, the Mercedes dealer is right down…

That was likely done to pass pedestrian-crash regulations in Europe where the Mustang sells now. However, the original also had very similar proportions to what you are describing.

Yeah, I have to twist a lever and push a button - oh the humanity! My poor wrist! How will my 5'2" wife ever get the top down?

I think so, enough to buy one (2017 anyway). FWIW I think it still looks good with the top up.

BS. The reasons the European countries can afford free healthcare and months of paternity leave is because they haven’t had to pay for their own defense. Maybe we should have these perks for a change!

What diplomatic experience did Hillary have when she was named SoS? Yes she was a Senator. Yes she was a First Lady. Alan was the head of 2 multinational corporations. I’d say that’s at least equal.
