I would have agreed with you upto about 12-15 years ago when they used to rotate motivated engineers through their Corvette and racing programs, which also required engineers to take high-speed driving courses. The last of those teams were headed by the likes of John Heinricy.

The VW Golf TCR......... Oh wait, that’s available in the civilized world, but not the US of A :-(

Problem #1 at GM: Too many f’ing accountants.

I find it interesting that you keep talking about how this truck will not be a mass-seller. From day 1 Elon said that it’s going to be different truck that will have limited appeal so let’s not harp upon it not getting to be a mass-seller (so far if reports are correct there are over 200,000 pre-orders).

Put a 5 to 1 ratio cog in the tachymeter..... it will show 1,000 RPM at idle........ good to go :-)

I love how the communications guy throws the aftermarket providers under the proverbial bus “Ran into aftermarket cooling fan issues”. Somebody should tell them that they are a car manufacturer and it never helps to throw your suppliers under the bus like that. Man up Ford and take responsibility......... 

That was great! It cracked me up when he said “..... it doesn’t want to change direction......”. 

That WAS an amazing lap! Wow....

On first pass, I am not sure if I like it. I am allergic to 4 door cars and SUVs, but love the way the look of the new Mustang. 

Ferrari goes in 20 year down cycles. We are currently in year 12 of 20 :-)

That’s pretty cool looking, but I guess in case of roll-over, you just die? LOL

I also thought that on the interstates the dashed line spacing was also based on the visual perception studies depending on the speed limit. Don’t quote me, but apparently the dashed lines passing you by in your peripheral vision was how you felt speed, so they spaced them based on that. If you notice, the interstates…

The cop won’t be able to give you a ticket for speeding, but there a dozen things you can get a ticket for, e.g., reckless driving.

Automating the production line and having machines that build the machines is at a point where Tesla will need few humans for production, so why not build it in a location where you get tax breaks, has educated and hardworking people and high unemployment?

“Sales bank”, another reason why the dealership model sux.

Looks like an Aston Martin, especially in that color :-) 

That too.......... 

I hope Nissan makes a turnaround. 

I cry over a 512BB in the ditch, a Corvette not so much or at all if I am being honest :-)

LOL, this is just pure sloppiness.
