Ever been to a gas station and... OPENED YOUR EYES? See any overhead fire suppression? Get out of the house much?
Have you driven a car with skip shift extensively? It is not as invasive as you make it out to be. If you are driving the car like its supposed to be driven you never have to deal with it. I drove my GTO with it for a year before I disabled it. If you don't want to skip, just push the gas slightly more when you see…
Yeah, but just because you're going to get that fuel economy doesn't mean others will. As mentioned by actual owners of previous gens, the Corvette does tend to get really great fuel economy when cruising. Why should they have to pay a tax just because you can't keep your foot out of it?
Oh calm down dude. You're really making a mountain out of a molehill. It's a 450+ hp car that gets almost 30 mpg and doesn't force you to skip gears if you don't want to. I admire your tenacity, but you're really trying hard to make this a problem when it isn't one. Chevrolet has made it incredibly easy to straight…
I can get less than 20 mpg in pretty much every car ever made, but hey, that's irrelevant right? Why have a logical argument when you can go off the rails and realize this is easily defeated, saves you a ton of money, and works beautifully?
You're such a mans man. It's easily defeated you know.
Whenever I hear about Vette Highway economy it's long been around 30MPG. If Crudman has some ethical dilemma about evading gas guzzler tax, maybe he should just donate the equivalent amount to the sick or homeless.
This was possibly the dumbest thing I have ever read on Jalopnik.
But pushrods suck, and the Corvette uses dinosaur technology, so actual engineering accomplishments - not just the 'level' of tech used to achieve them - don't count.
Frankly, why I don't I ever see someone calling a car company out for ladeling 'tech' all over a car that should be faster, better handling, etc etc,…
The statement reminds me of what I disdain about car commercials. "Gets 3o MPG*!" "*highway mileage. gets 18 mpg city". I don't think many people do 100% highway driving.
I think it's actually mocking you as you try to catch up to it but tomato/potato.
I don't care if it was about to go into a bumble dryer. If I had my hands on a nuke, I would be FUCKING CAREFUL
in Polish,
Annoying trick? Was it discovered by a local mom? I hear oil companies hate her!
I didn't notice the bitch pants, but I did notice it was running rich. Typical Harley owner...doesn't know how to dress, or properly maintain his bike.
That's Pakistan for you. It's the same reason why the U.S. Government couldn't have even hinted to Pakistani officials their intentions to nab Osama. Someone would have just tipped him off. The entire country is corrupt.
Step 4: Call the fire department to douse your now-inflamed car/house/neighbor's cat because you used a goddamn motorcycle to re-light your bonfire you crazy bastard.
