Chill. Obvious joke is obvious

Porsche deserves a mean letter or a nice letter. I’m not sure which one.

Anyone-can-hoon is killing the auto industry and motorsport. It undermines the mystique of powerful vehicles, and takes all of the drama out of driving.

I’m using cost-effective in a relative sense. Street cars are more cost effective than building a subway system, for instance, and they are relatively more cost-effective when surface streets are not also cluttered with automobiles.

Remove the DRS overtaking and then tell us what you find.

Those aren’t the only two options.

Formula 1 won’t be around one day, if it continues it’s current path. It’s getting less entertaining and less relevant, which is stunning considering the new regulations actually de-regulated competition between the manufacturers to make the sport more interesting.

He’s lucky he wasn’t caned

Declining car ownership will probably not lead to robust ride sharing. It is more likely that cities will experiment with car-free zones and surface streets will be converted to run cost-efficient public transportation like street cars.

Nissan trucks are like GM products of similar vintage. The switchgear, electrics, and ancillaries fall apart long before the powertrain. Pick a non-critical component. It’s suspect. The transmissions are hit or miss, though usually decent (exception: Nissan CVT). NVH is an afterthough. The engines and agricultural…

Don’t try to pretend you aren’t proud of what you’ve done to him. He’s a sniveling penny-dreadful social activist with a plutocrats paycheck.

DIY business is awesome, but DIY tax is not. It’s too easy to make innocent tax mistakes that can lead to audits and debilitating penalties and interest. Ask any CPA, and they’ll tell you some of the jams small business people have worked themselves into with relatively minor ignorance of tax law.

It’s not quite that easy. The US is unique among developed countries for consumer economy. A consumption tax could jeopardize our economic strength by discouraging consumption. Also, what are you going to tell all of the old people who’ve paid income taxes their entire lives. Sorry, now you have to pay 25% consumption…

During the late recession, I had a couple of opportunities to pounce on a couple of N180s. One was a MY2001 5-speed manual V6 4wd with under 100,000 miles for $4,800. The other was a MY1997 (IIRC) 4wd V6 with a rear locker and just over 120,000 miles for $5,700.

When your country sucks, superior zipper merging is your only retort, I guess?

Excusing the ineptitude of other drivers is how we ended up in the carpocalypse of today. They will zipper or face the electric chair.

Might have a chance in the 50m Free though

That boat wouldn’t even medal against Phelps
