If you’ve been to Detroit or the metro area recently you’d know that literally none of that has changed, only gone with the times.

I’m white collar at a supplier, luckily we’ve gone full “indefinite work from home.”  We have a tracking system setup if we have to come in, in case someone is infected.  I do know our plants are still operating, but I think they’re trying to do alternate shifts of half size to keep distance.

Porsche used to be smart and make wheels that gave you a 1/5 chance of getting it right.  And this one isn’t!

It wouldn’t have a shattered REAR window or crushed hatch then....

“This week, are Millenials still killing the Auto Industry by being the new demographic to cater to? Old white men explain why they’re so annoyed they can’t continue to complain about this once they’re dead, at 9.”

Well when they’re struggling to get the cock to project, that’s understandable...

I guess that’s one way to combat the obesity epidemic....

Here in Michigan there’s actually a fair number of young guys driving them too, though only C7's, because they’re the “Social Media” model. I’ve never seen a sub-50 year old driving a C6 or C5, despite that C5s are IMO the best looking of the modern Corvette, as well as a serious bargain.

Eh, that reads more to me they were trying to imply that the truck that nearly hit them was massive and heavy, hence capable of doing much more damage. If I had to be rear-ended by a PU, I’d much prefer a Colorado V6 than a 3500HD Duramax.

I made the questionable decision of purchasing a 955 Cayenne that had issues. These were basically the same car, but engine options were the same VR6, 4.5 Porsche V8, or TT V8. No diesels. I have an S, so the 4.5 V8, with the air suspension, etc.

Germans love their triple-squares. My Audi (C4 S4) uses them for the inner CV joints, and my Cayenne (which is of course just a Touareg with a different engine) uses them... Well, everywhere as far as I can tell. The freaking SEATS are bolted down with triple-squares!

It was 250HP, supposedly because of the swap from aluminum heads to iron. Even so, after ~150-200k miles, the 4L60 is done. Every one of the Roadmasters my father’s bought (I think he’s on #5 now) has gone away because the trans failed... Except for the last one, in which we rebuilt the trans in before it rusted…

I have had, in my list of automotive projects to do, a Duramax-swapped Roadmaster for years. I know the engine will fit (the 6.6 LLY is only about 2" wider than the LT1!) but going from the 4L60E to the Allison... Well, I found a photo of a 4L60E next to a 4L80E, then a photo of a 4L80E next to an Allison... Each was…

I only take exception with one line:

I really feel a lot of the points here, even though I’m sort of on the flip side. For over a decade, basically since I hit mid-teens, I was overweight/obese depending on the time of year. Recently, one of my coworkers who ballooned when he started working due to the way our job is in the winter, got hit with…

I worried about that when I started going to the gym too. A big help to that was finding a gym NOT focused on lifting (to wit, Anytime Fitness). It spans the range of competition power lifters (who are extraordinarily detail oriented people with extreme passion, as it turns out) to 50+ year old women trying to sneak…

Nyeahhhh I don’t know about that.

The inspection sticker is easy, it’s removed annually.  The registration, which is biannual...  That one needs a scraper.

Varies a ton by state.  Some states, yearly.  Some (I think) are biannual.  Some have no inspections at all.  Some have an inspection at time of purchase, but then never again.

You know, I never really liked NY’s inspection.
