Yep as someone who lives in Canada and has driven lot’s of different cars, it goes RWD w/snows<FWD w/snows<AWD w/snows

Your old life is gone, and you are now Jim Hackett, CEO of the Ford Motor Company.

Look at those A pillars, you could hide a super carrier in that blind spot. 

Yep, making an “S” class competitor at “S” class prices would be the fastest way to piss away as much money as possible. If you make it at “S” class prices I’m buying an “S” class. Why wouldn’t I? When that last Cadillac turn around artist (Dychassen?) said the first thing they have to do is raise prices I (and…

Yep, in my youth I worked at a 500+ acre estate with multiple homes. The old money owners (bear in mind this estate was in the 15 million range in the early 90's) drove an old buick station wagon and a pretty base Volvo and were the nicest, most down to earth people you could meet. The entitled douchebags who would…

I have a 72 GTO and consider that technically the end or damm near but was willing to give a couple of extra years when the cars still at least had pontiac motors. I had an 86 trans am and it was also super junk. Alternators, starters, water pumps and transmissions were all considered “wear items” at that time in GM…

Don’t blame Pontiac, blame GM management. VW is right now doing what GM could never do well (and stopped trying to do well in 1972 or so). Look at the MBQ platform, there are 28 different cars made from that platform from four “brands” and all are so distinct and different from each other that you would never know…

Yep, Pontiac died in 1976 or so (when the good Pontiac motor died, the Iron Duke does not count). They could have made a comeback in the 80's if the fiero was allowed to be what it was supposed to be but GM bean counters ruined it like they ruin everything at GM. 

Because 4 valves are harder to cool with air, it’s been done (look at early Suzuki GSXR engines) but they aren’t what you would call “reliable” or emissions friendly.

Yeah if Trump approves DACA. I’ve actually been thinking that’s what they should propose (to show they are being “fair to emperor Drumpf). You get your 5b if you give ALL dreamers citizenship. That makes it clear they tried to work with him when he torpedos it because Faux news, Coulter and Putin tell him to.

150W so just more then one amp, You couldn’t even power a dremel. He’s talking about serious power like run a welder power (220V, 40 amps). 

It moves forward in time 1 second per second (unless you manage to get it to go a significant portion of C then it will travel forward slower).  

All made in America hey? Pretty sure that motor is Hecho en Mexico. 

I design injection moulded parts for a living and that looks like some nice work. Lots of actions in multiple directions with some complex shut offs in play. This is literally what I do as well, take a design others would make in 10-15 parts and make it in 5. Yes the tooling becomes a LOT more expensive but you remove…

Holy crap I missed that! That is pro level just not giving a shit! 

I saw an appropriate poop emoji in the rust myself.

Come to Canada, get to drive junk like this (if you choose) and get Healthcare and only have to hear about Drumpf daily but not live under him. Sure our dollars worthless again but at least we have gun control! 

And a Lincoln will be? Maybe with only 80 made it will be okay but if they made this the production version you could pick up in 10 years for a case of empties and a payday loan. Look at used caddy’s. They hold value like a chevy cruze.

Yeah, actually the fishtank thing is a really good visual representation. 20/20 hindsight I bet the engineers wished they had sealed it better so air couldn’t escape! Reminds me of that corvette prototype story where the manager kept asking for the prototype to be painted to match his mounted mako shark. After a…

Holy shit you’re an asshole. The point of life is not to work until your dead (well maybe the point of your life is but whatever). Paternity/ maternity leave like healthcare and a lot of other things should be a human right. This race to the bottom the US republicans have ingrained into people is toxic. You will look…
