So, I presume you have already pulled your children out?

Federal law requires an 8 year/80,000 mile emissions warranty. Somewhere above, it is mentioned that driving on public roads is a privilege, not a right. As part of that privilege, you agree to certain standards, like maintaining the safety and pollution-control compliance of your car, just as you agree to purchase…

Well, now that you ask...

My guess is that these docs are on board with these lawsuits.

First of all, “rolling coal” isn’t why they got in trouble. This isn’t a thing the vast majority of diesel owners do. This is just a silly thing a small niche of people do because they are obnoxious.

When did the Cobalt SS ever have 340 lb-ft of torque from the factory?

COTD...if enough people get it. 

They’ll only be around for another 20 years because Harley makes trikes now. And you can get training wheels on your bike. Not even fucking kidding. Goddamned training wheels on a motorcycle.

To be fair, they make them for Gold Wings and other similar big touring bikes. Still...

Former St. Louis resident and motorcycle owner here; can vouch for this same feeling. And my motorcycles were never feet-forward designs. Never.

It’s much more the dealer lobby, since the UAW hasn’t been able to crack places like South Carolina and Alabama yet. Dealers have state houses eating out of the palms of their hands for decades now. Why do you think there are laws that “require*” dealers to charge doc fees?

* Most state laws say that if the dealer…

This thing on my commute would be killer. 

I didn’t mention anything about pistons, just cylinders. Yes, the blocks are technically different, but the gist of my statement stands.

Jaguar’s XK engine was a breakthrough of engineering that allowed them to produce a run of powerful, smooth, sweet-sounding engines that endured for 40+ years.

The AJ126 is a massive…

You fans of he “V-6"/manual combo realize that the AJ126 engine is essentially a 90-degree V-8 block with two cylinders just hanging out on the end of the block doing nothing, right? At least Buick had the good sense to lop off those two extra cylinders.

This would be a lesser crime if some company like Kia did it, but…

968s never had dial wheels, did they? Did you mean 924s? 928?

Toyota is a gargantuan, massively wealthy, global manufacturer noted for its high-quality products, durability, and efficiency, all enabled by investment in product and keen production engineering. If any company in the world could have developed a new Supra without any help, it was Toyota.

Sorry, but, as someone…

Only one of those three still has a job.

GM had a lot of labor strife in the early 1970s, a period that also marked the company leaving a pretty lofty perch at making some of the highest-quality cars they ever made, and leaving their near 50% market share to die along with the quality.

I am the last guy to ever rip on labor unions, but no matter how much you…

True story: A friend’s dad who had bought a Chevelle new in 1972 was trading it in on a 1980 Corolla wagon (because the Chevy dealer told him to pound sand when he asked about a discount on a Citation!). There had been a rattle in the back door since he got the car. He removed the door panel before trading it in and…

Thought I wanted a Harley as a kid, and this was at the tail end of the AMF era. I remember the t-shirts in the local dealer that said “I’d rather push my Harley than ride a rice burner.”

Well, my first ride on a “rice burner” ended any love at all for a Harley. And now that I have reached a certain age, having owned a…

Also, in 1988 they didn’t count every race, only the best 11 finishes. Had they counted them all, Prost would have won the title. They changed that rule soon after. Robbed by the cult of Senna. 

My screen name approves of this message.

Came here to say the same thing.
