In addition to what ptotheedge wrote, the "right to free speech" only applies to the government. The government can't restrict what you say.

Please see post above. Banks is not "covered by free speech" because he was creating a hostile work environment for a specific group, which is not tolerated by federal law. He can be a bigot on his own time, not at work.

The first amendment states that the government has no right to limit or censor a person's speech.

CD players were not standard, and you could plug your skip-happy discman into that sucker and crank some tunes...

I think RWD rode the "drift scene" back into the hearts of "common car culture," as it was a nice transition from the "import tuner scene" that was the darling of the mid 2000's.

No NSX?

Ah yes Mazda's choice material. They have been using a lot of that new found material for the last 15 years

if you were to listen to every one of these complaints, you would never own anything more complicated than a tree.

Bernoulli's principle. Any liquid traveling in a channel which becomes smaller will increase the speed of the liquid that's going through it. This lowers the pressure.

Brute force approaching need development and testing too.

One thing always seems to happen when now-Cadillac CEO Johan de Nysschen is put in charge of a brand: The HQ moves somewhere else.
