Considering that in many European countries you’re taxed on displacement, I don’t foresee engines getting bigger. Automakers might offer them, but no one is going to buy them.

You might want to brush up on your history. Many estimates for deaths at the hands of the Japanese empire exceed 10 million. The empire was brutal on so many levels. Although, to be fair, unlike Germany Japan didn’t have a policies specifically targeting civilians. Nevertheless, read up on the Nanjing massacre or…

All of them... I agree with your point in principle, and am inclined not to give a crap what others think myself. Nevertheless, you’ll find that people in every single industry are judgmental in one way or another.

The exterior is already a nightmare, but the interior takes the what-the-fuckery to a whole other level.

Funding things like the space program is crucial because it offers profound benefits to society in the long run. However, all those other things you list are not mutually exclusive with a space program. The fact that the government lacks funds stems from inefficiencies and a ton of other problems.

This is the best kind of drifting.

As much as I’ve always enjoyed Best Motoring the results are sometimes questionable. The outcomes don’t seem consistent with what we know about these cars and often it feels like bias is a factor.

The weird situation where Taiwan isn’t quite recognized as an independent nation is the fault of political bullshit at the United Nations that took place in the 70s.

NBC isn’t perfect, but I think they’ve handled these Olympics better than anyone else would have.

Factories look so much more professional and organized when everyone wears uniforms. It’s a stark contrast to most American factories.

They aren’t perfect, but NBCSN is more likely than anyone to do a good job with this.

For me, it comes down to what kind of neighbor he is. If the worst he’s doing is parking a trailer in his driveway and working on cars in the middle of the day, then I’m fine with it. The problem becomes when you’re making noise late into the night.

Global platforms were unthinkable a few decades ago?

Considering that a Sonic does have a car, one that actually looks cool, you’d think the designers could have come up with something that doesn’t look so stupid.

Every single day, at nearly every intersection people pull onto the crosswalk just like this guy did. Often they’ll do it while people are on the crosswalk. It has nothing to do with income because it’s just as likely to be a pristine Mercedes S-class and as it is a beat-to-shit Corolla. If anything, the worse the…

I don’t know what it is about Hondas and rusty bolts. Everyone I know who’s owned one has stories to tell about fighting a damn bolt. I had similar problems with my Prelude.

Tesla has adopted Apple’s marketing strategy of overselling simple features. It’s not a big deal when you’re talking about something like animated photos, but clearly Tesla hasn’t considered the implications of doing the same with critical functions.

I like old school gauges myself. Clear, accurate and they don’t need batteries.

That’s how most guys I see ride their sports bikes. It’s all attitude and aggression, pointless revving, hard acceleration and wheelies. Until there’s a slight bend in the road, then it’s panic braking and fearfully walking the bike through the turn.

Connecticut wants to implement a mileage tax so I don’t imagine odometer readings are going to remain private for much longer.
