Thank god it’s far away....

If this doesn’t end up with a 90% or higher NP win I will be concerned for this community.

I agree - I think “up to” is under incredibly ideal conditions with ultra-low resistance tires or something. I’d be shocked if in real world conditions it got anywhere near that.

I imagine the fully kitted out when will be well over $100k. You can spend north of $100k on a 1500 TRX easy.

I guess it completely depends on the model. If you’ve got a bog-standard, stripped down one selling for $28k, it’s not a good deal. The only ones I see are that. Then I see the turbo 4wd ones with half the options ticked selling for $41k. That is also not a good deal.

I know two people who bought Mavericks (pre-order). One was a breezy, no pressure, sticker price come up and pick it up affair. The other they tried to put a $2,500 dealer adjustment on it when it arrived, saying there was language in the contract that permitted such adjustments. Paid an attorney two hours ($500) to…

Because you can’t buy a Maverick for a reasonable price.

Emissions inspections causing a car to fail based solely off the CEL are such bullshit. Hook my car up to an actual emissions test and maybe you can justify not passing my car. But based solely on some alleged leak in the system? It’s just a poor person tax. I’ve gotten rid of cars solely on the basis that dealing…

No one bashes Oprah better than Bill Burr. Fuck Oprah. 

Agreed. Drivers are far more impatient, likely to drive recklessly, speed well beyond what’s safe or reasonable, and have no courtesy to other driver’s on the road. My commute is only about 10 miles, but I see two to three rear end accidents every day because people can’t be bothered to not tailgate, pay attention,…

Yes, you’ve been misunderstanding it. A ‘ten-second car’ is a car that can run the 1/4 mile in under 10.99 seconds. A 9 second car runs it under 9.99 seconds, and so forth.

Wasn’t there still a 130hp Integra in 1993?

I’m sharing just because I missed the original prompt that apparently included this. But every time I’m feeling down, I watch this. 

This isn’t true, there’s nothing wrong with trailer parks, and this is a gross comment.

1988 Subaru GL wagon. This is probably up there in some of the dumbest thing I’ve done in life and, frankly, lucky nothing awful happened. But there was a really long, straight stretch of road along a well-known reservoir in upstate NY. We would go to this straight(ish) stretch of road and drive around 30 mph, set the…

The conditions are fairly easy to pick up, though. You can see falling snow in the video. So, presumably we’re not dealing with freezing rain/ice. The road is plowed well, but maybe has created that slick packed hard snow that sometimes can be much slicker than snow itself. Sticking to a the parts that are still soft…

Yeah, I really appreciate some of the stuff raised in DTS. And I do agree with what the author here wrote, too. I thought the omission about the RBR team orders and all that mess was odd, particularly because DTS just loves drama and there was heaping spoons of it available to feed us. Was odd. I’m a huge F1 fan, been…

I don’t understand why the Range Rover had so much trouble. I guess just driver incompetence? I drove to work today in my Forester with knobbly but non-snowflake AT tires in much worse conditions than this. Didn’t even slip....

It wouldn’t be pre-season testing without wild speculation!

Solving their porpoising problem is but one part of the problem. I think their second biggest problem was their complete inability to fire the tires up for qualifying. It always put them on the back foot. The only benefit was they seemed to be quite nice on their tires, and had decent long-run pace. But I think most…
