You are correct sir. In fact, we use silver dynoc(a metallic stretchable film) to evaluate clay models in the design studio. Silver makes it very easy to see subtle surface variations, which is important when we are finalizing surfacing on a new car.

Sears used to sell cars...so why not!

In other words...

I went to an unfamiliar VW dealer the other day to pick up a little part I needed, and they had installed the 3 blinky 3rd brake light on EVERY SINGLE NEW CAR THEY HAD!

This is part one of the series at Jalopnik.

For companies that want bailouts, I think there should be a set of criteria to qualify.

1. If you spent your giant tax break money on stock buybacks - go fuck yourself.
2. If your CEO got a giant bonus from tax break money - go fuck yourself
3. If your employees are woefully underpaid, worked to death, and have no…

Imagine getting yourself fired over a Taurus.

I don’t get the simultaneous pro-dealer and anti-dealer sentiments

You’re right, it’s more of a Shelbyville idea...

This!  This makes me insane!   *Thinks car is backing out.  Stops, waits.  Sees someone walking away key fob in hand, clicking it a few times as they walk into the store.  Car is off, doors locked, reverse lights on.

I find this far less annoying than GM’s insistence on using the reverse lights as parking lights.

Don’t worry. Soon all rhe Mustangs will also be trucks.

Perhaps it’s on me for expecting better critical thinking from Jalopnik, but I cannot possibly express how disappointed I am that this is the party line this blog is taking. Toyota and others are not taking Trump’s side per se, they are advocating for a single Federal standard for safety and emissions. If you fragment…

I wonder if they are going back to being an Engineering company or not?

If you can’t fit two kids and their associated junk in a 3600lb crossover with 35 cubic feet of trunk, you might be an American.

Major kudos to Subaru for going through all the headaches and expense of building this car and making it available to enthusiasts.

This is my favourite example in this thread. It’s not a giant conglomerate that produces all the things. The back story is fascinating. I think it’s amazing that they still make them, and that Peugeot pepper mills remain the best you can get.

Learned it here, but that the origin of the Kong dog chew-toy is a suspension bump-stop from a Volkswagen Bus.

Can we start calling them automotive pessimists instead of enthusiasts? Because they don’t seem too enthusiastic about much of anything to me. I have fun behind the wheel of just about anything.
