It depends on what the complaint was and what the test drive was looking to replicate. I’ve had customer cars at 100+mph simply to bed the brake pads/rotors properly. (the brake manufacturer had explicit instructions of 10 HARD stops from 100+mph to 10mph, without a complete stop. How else am I supposed to do that?

Seems like a random 5 minutes test drive to me... A couple of short accelerations to test the car and back in the shop.

So since divide by 2 and add 7 kind of breaks down when you reach this calcified muppet’s age, I propose a secondary check: Are you older than her mother.

Still not as cool as Stow & Go seating, but very impressive. No, I'm not kidding.

Still not a GT40

State lawsuits in these types of situations are nothing more than a moneygrab. It’s like civil double jepardy since VW is settling with the feds. It will just suck money to the states who will be even more dishonest and lie about how it will be used (I’m looking at you Cuomo.)

Ahem....its moran.

Jalopnik was an excellent site before being gobbled up by the Gawker cunts. It’s barely hung on over the last few years, and will hopefully be sold off during the bankruptcy restructuring to someone who does away with the shit advertising.

Kenny?

OMG, why do people back down from this? I would travel to court every day for a month to ensure this man went to jail. I mean come one, dude tried to murder you on the side of the road for NO REASON, he needs a nice stay in one of California’s terrible correction facilities. This is why people are hyper aggressive on…

I’m actually impressed with Alex’s ability to stay calm in all of this. Two rules I learned when I grew up in a now open-carry state: “You can’t reason with the unreasonable” and “Assume they have a gun.” This is exactly how you act in this situation when confronted. Keep calm and keep your friends calm.

PRESS CHARGES. PLEASE!!!! PRESS CHARGES!

FWD can spin going into a turn just as easy as anything else. Especially front heavy ones with big rear sway bars transfering weight around at the wrong time. Extra so when it transfers from one side to the other. Small slide going in one way, swap the weight to turn the other way and you better hold the hell on cause…

Dear BBC,

No no no, don’t give postmortem praise to the CR-Z. It was shit. Honda’s Fit is a much better car, no? And their Civic Type-R is coming as well? Not to beat a dead horse, but an S2000 would be nice. Or team up with Tesla (they could use a little help) and create an S1000Kw.

This is the exact same blog that called the car worthless and said it needed to lose 800lbs and $5k (it does) and become a lightweight sporty hatch like it used to be. And now it’s a bad thing that the car no one bought is going to be gone?

Reading local news coverage of this event it seemed like there was universal love for the re-pave and it sounded like some were able to push speed a bit more
