Any car equipped with bumper covers that will cost $3,000 + to R&R and paint and/or with low profile tires and expensive wheels is not a good city car.

You can buy an ex-F1 car, with spares, for this price. As a bonus, that ex-F1 car probably won’t be a 4 pot.

Geely has done right by Volvo. Hopefully they don’t plan on using Lotus as a financial tool, i.e. a place to hide losses from other companies.

the big issue now, though, is that FCA didn’t disclose the AECDs.

Are they going to allow teams to sub specialty “road course” drivers (aka, drivers who can turn right)? Because that would be some bullshit.

I don’t understand why they don’t use a wiper arm with nozzles and allow for blade inserts to be used. Oh wait, I do understand - they’re going to make a nice profit on the blades.

Will the windshield washer fluid still spray to the roof of the car when driving on freeway? It works well when the car is standing still.

Volvo is just fucking killing it with style right now, incorporating the best parts of Swedish Minimalism on the exterior and Interior.

The fit and finish on new Volvo interiors is pretty bad. Nowhere close to Mercedes, Lexus, or Audi level. The design is great but they still have some way to come in terms of build-quality. I’m not saying its unlivealbe like a Maserati or anything, but certainly not worth a premium cost over German or Japanese…

I think of the Focus ST like I think of the Camaro, Hellcat, Demon, and fast Mustangs: Not for me, but I appreciate the manufacturers having the balls to make them.

Where’d you find that? Posted before or after mine?

Trump gave up more intel in 5 minutes with the Russians than John McCain did in 5 years of torture from the North Vietnamese.

If it is “track only” they can ditch all emissions concerns and tune strictly for power.

I’ve got a buddy in Gove if you need a place to crash or help.

At what point will F1 cars exceed the driving capacity of the drivers?

Formula E will be great if they stop hamstringing the teams and manufacturers like they do in F1. Come up with a KW capacity, mandate that, 4 wheels, and safety equipment. Then let the teams’ imaginations run wild.

303 Protectant. Use religiously.

I love how auto manufacturers, aware that most consumers hate wagons, try so hard to add wagon functionality (the liftgate) without actually going full wagon.

1. Do you believe that VW lied to investigators regarding who knew what and when, specifically with respect to upper level executives?

Full grain leather is extremely rare and generally comes from the cow that stayed in the barn while the others went outside. Only the best leather - that which has neither insect bite marks, barbed wire scratches, etc. is fit to be full grain leather.
