Anyone who saw this concept for the first time and thought, “Oh cool! Nissan will totally build this!” obviously hadn’t been following Nissan for the past 20 years.

While I’m skeptical as hell about his actual guilt (because Japan), I never forgave him for not following through with the IDx...

Sank because the bottom literally rusted away as the vehicle went along? 

i think they , like many companies, like to preserve cars as they came off the track. Lots of oil and rubber and grime on museum pieces in the auto world.

Might have been like LeMans cars. Keep them in their winning state. 

I was going to say, why wasn’t it hosed down?

If only Honda had done even basic cleanup after the event...

I mean, we could shove them in a Fleetwood motorhome equipped with G159 tires and send ‘em down the interstate.

This is very true. That sort of failure rate on vehicles that move as little as once a year is crazy high. And, given the very low mileage RVs tend to rack up, it is totally likely that there are still 15+ year old G159s on motorhomes right now. If they were unsafe new, they definitely aren't going to improve with…

Our society took a noticeable turn for the worse once it became unacceptable to run people out of town on a rail when they pull shit like this.

Or a glass shard the size of a pencil in their head.

Goodyear deserves the penal equivalent of being smashed over the head with a steel chair for this.

The tire failed on as many as one in 10 motorhomes

Fucking murderers. No jokes. No nothing. Those assholes saw some dollar signs and just went for it. Absolutely disgusting.

What awards are there for investigative journalism and how do I submit an article or series of articles for consideration?

No disrespect to Potbelly Joe and 42 Others, but I’ve held back for too long, and it sounds like I’m not alone.

Fake outrage about a Tesla, played up by fanboys and spread across multiple auto sites? I’m shocked.

Jesus, is anything real anymore!?

The center-seat configuration is a great idea for safety and visibility, and that cab looks amazing. This is the first Tesla I’ve liked since the original Roadster.

I very briefly worked at a super high volume dealership as a service writer after I left one firm which was closing and was starting at another which was in the process of being launched. It was a couple month gap so I thought it would be fun to temporarily work with what is essentially my passion.
