The divide and concur politics of the current regime? There are parts of Norfolk where you can't go now if you aren't the right shade of black. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/16-year-old-arrested-in-mob-attack-on-two-white-reporters-charged-with-throwing-a-missile/

I grew up in Charlottesville, graduated from college in Blacksburg. People weren't acting this way when I was in school in the early '90s, nor were they last time I lived in Virginia in the mid 2000s. Either something has changed or there is more going on here than people discovering there is a gay student at Radford.…

In Fisker's defense, they didn't call their car the Good Karma. Karma is like weather. It can be nice and sunny, or it can destroy everything it touches.

I'm glad somebody gets it. Best investment in the crony-sphere: one hundred thousand of your dollars now in exchange for five hundred million of other people's money later. Mind you Clinton sold our entire economy to the Chinese for a couple million, so I guess it isn't the best deal.

I think about this stuff often, as I watch the screen retract and the rear view mirrors fold every time I shut off my company's A6. That's why its a rental. When the warranty ends it will be someone else's problem. Unfortunately, there is no getting out of driving with warning lights and error messages constantly…

If one doesn't wish to expend much effort in configuring an ugly car, they can always start with a Juke, a 4 door coupe, or a Focus hatchback!

Considering I've driven from Charlottesville to San Diego and from San Diego to Charlottesville in an E30 and from Charlottesville back to San Diego in a Civic Si spending an average of 36 hours on the road each time, yes.

I think this is just a case of the best defense being a good offense. That video will be jury bait in an NYC courtroom. It isn't always as easy to get out of New York jury duty as one might think, so the jury won't just be a bunch of smelly class warriors. There will be people that hate paying for organized crime too,…

Honda may have made a conscious choice to shed the boy-racer image. Most of their customers are better off with cars that don't need to be chained to anchors when parked on the street overnight. It seems like most of the people who complain about Honda's current products aren't new car buyers. They're pissed off that…

If you ever find one, I would strongly recommend the Series I of the late '60s. They were the lightest and best looking. The Series IIs would be next most sporting. Ones built after that were pretty dedicated to ostentatious country club types. They got much bigger and heavier, perhaps partially to meet crash test…

People took the Avanti II seriously for as long as it was a fairly contemporary car, even if it descended into cartoonhood in the '80s. Perhaps the factory connection would have helped the Excalibur. It is hard to even relate to the idea of something so unique being produced by a major OEM in this day of bureaucrat…

The Excalibur Phyllis Diller owned was no joke, being a Series I car from the days when the standard engine was a 300 hp Corvette 327 and the curb weight was 2,100 lbs. It was one of the quickest cars in the world at the time, with some accounts putting 0-60 under 5 seconds. Even some of the Series II cars were pretty…

Sounds like destroying property rights and freedom is your passion. Fortunately, totalitarians are counting on some pretty principled people to do their leg work, so they may be in for a rude awakening.

Is the reality of Fisker Karma ownership so terrible that it turns people into criminals? Perhaps. I'm the one that took the pictures Matt Hardigree ran of the brand new one that died in Pacific Beach

That is certainly true, but I don't recall Ferrari accusing their customers of torching their cars, which is ironic considering the number of Ferraris that have perished due to insurance fraud. When I was at Deutsche Bank, I recall hearing about plans to crash an unwanted leased Jeep Grand Cherokee into an unwanted V8…

I forgive you, as it is obvious you hate yourself the most.

When the Fisker Karma burned down that family's house in Sugar Land Texas, Fisker's first response was to suggest that their customer was an arsonist. That was four months ago, so waiting for another one to burn in public with a bunch of witnesses doesn't strike me as the action of a responsible automobile…

Schizophrenic much?

Essentially, the Dino is a car that never died off. It 'evolved,' through the 308s and 328s to the 348s, 355s, 360s, 430s and today's 458s. Only the most recent ones have had engines larger than 3.6 liters in displacement, and only the most recent ones have stopped being cars for real drivers that insist on manual…

Looks like the back half of a Panther 6 mated to the front half of a Shitroen.
