More like the Avalon AARP.

While I disagree with taxing the fuck out of anything I’m fine if we let a few companies die to teach the others a lesson. We bailed them all out last time and here we are a decade later with all of them asking for money again. Its becoming the new norm. The car market in particular is a pretty overloaded space. There’…

Ugh. This again.

“Buyers demand higher fuel economy,” you say, but not enough to stop buying trucks.

A melted front clip is an extreme but effective way to dissuade tailgaters. 

Still breaks my heart Jaguar eventually switched from micro-turbines to a four-banger on the CX-75...

Rooftop Solar will never offer enough usable range. It takes a lot of power to run an EV. Most EV batteries hold enough charge to power your house for several days. You aren’t recharging them quick enough with the small area of their roof.

The straight cut isn’t ideal for strength, but with some fish plates, the joint should have no trouble being the strongest part of the frame.  I didn’t see any images of the finished joint to know if it has any.

Should have been the lead photo.

If Bentley customers *really* wanted Bentley to be British, they’d just buy Bentley (the company, not the car). Or, maybe just... buy Germany. They’ve probably got the resources to make at least one of those happen. I don’t know which would be easier.

Designed by Apple in California. Assembled in China.

At this price, the swap already needs to be done. CP.

The GTI has always been a hybrid, it’s 50% Millenials and 50% Boomers.

Who knew running twin turbo engines in everything from hot hatches to half ton trucks giving them 13,000lb tow rating or pushing that TT V6 to 450hp in a 6000lb Raptor would be expensive warranty down the road.

Sounds like a question for Tom McParland.

All cheap cars like the Twingo, Alto, Panda and such are this cheap.
There is not really a catch, except that when a car is this cheap, you are guaranteed to have to do some repairs in the first year of owning it, which will cost more than the value of the car.
In the Netherlands, you can get a running twingo with a…

This article would be useful for most people about 10 years ago. Now hardly any new cars actually have hand brakes.

Ummmm, manual pressure feed of the oil system prior to starting? Not only would this have gotten oil to the critical areas, but it also would have helped wash away any grit on the bearing surfaces (especially the big ends and follower faces)

I say hold out for more off if you’re interested in the Escalade. Let GM eat the costs. They need to learn how to properly transition old to new product.

This is a cool idea, and one I’ve batted around in my head for a while. But as someone who has spent a lot of time at boat ramps, I don’t think most Americans are capable of driving around a trailer, even one this tiny. So my idea was an aerodynamic Thule type roof rack filled with batteries.
