Almost any time I’m in a car, I’m driving. No naps for me, unless I want to stop somewhere.

The Fiero is the stupid mistake which GM gave up on just as they were beginning to get it right. By ‘88 (the last year) the rear suspension was getting healthy. Had they hung on for just a little longer, they could have made factory Fieros with the drivetrains the Fieroistas have been cobbling together. The DOHC 3.4…

Definitely no excuse not to have built in code reading when every car has a multifunction screen tied to some sort of microprocessor. They could very easily provide a nice text-base readout.

Well, 35 years ago he wasn’t using Mame (it’s as old as ‘97, 21 years).
This is more akin to a baseball player, in his prime, getting into the guiness book of world records while young and clean. Then, later in his career, trying to chase down better records & getting caught using steroids to cheat. While the original…

To some extent, yes. Okay, to a large extent.

Good reporting, glad you stuck to your guns on this, I didn’t know how badly Goodyear was behaving.

It doesn’t matter how good it sounds, I can’t get past those stupid stancypants wheels.

I think that lead .gif just gave us a new definition of the word “tease”.

Actually, this isn’t the real problem. A more thermally efficient engine will make more power naturally. The real problem is weight and frontal area. Look up what family haulers weighed 30 years ago, and look what they weigh now. There is simply no way to make a 5500 lb SUV with a giant frontal area fuel efficient.

A whole extra article WAS written, as linked in the story.

Yeah, those Wright Brothers and their shitty single seat airplane should have been stopped before they wasted all that money.

Depends. My E350 diesel actually gets the best mileage at about 93mph. Range at that speed would be around 880 miles

These are the only Aerodynamic Wheel Covers that should be allowed

It’s supposed to have LIDAR or similar sensors which detect obstacles in front of it - whether or not they’re illuminated. Part of the point of these autonomous vehicles is that they’re supposed to have better ways to detect potential problems than a human driver, and this shows that wasn’t the case.

Exactly. Only someone who never drives long commutes on the highway would ever think 5 gears is sufficient.

The best part about Ken Block's turbofan wheels is they make fluffy tire blankets whenever he does donuts. And that they're throwbacks to when rally cars like the Lancia Delta Integrale raced with them. But mostly the fluffy tire blankets.
