Yeah, I was a little confused too. The chosen comment was about the RS4 which should be the proper M3 comparison, and then they use a picture of an RS3 and talk about it. RS3 is a BMW 2 series competitor. M3, as stated, is much more expensive than an RS3.

Reading this article reminded me of something interesting. It is kind of wild thinking about just how much 80/90's advertising and television has been converted and uploaded to the internet to exist forever. Programable VHS recorders were pretty common place to save your show if you weren’t at home to watch it, and…

I guess I fall into the weird group, according to some of the comments, with you that I don’t notice tattoo’s. Tattoos are so common now and so many people have them around me that they are nothing special, not even worth a passing glance. I sold my old boat last weekend and I know the guy had sleeves but I couldn’t…

I think the cost they came up with is the interesting part, not the concept. If you bought a new light duty truck from the Big 3 with a V8 and did only city miles (lowest I saw was 15mpg for non Raptor/trx) at the US DOT average miles driven per year of 13,476; you would pay $180 in road tax to Texas. The charge for…

If you use the US DOT average miles driven per year of 13,476 that means basically everything short of a V8 Raptor or Ram TRX will cost less in road tax than an EV in Texas. If you bought a regular Civic and just did highway miles you would only pay $67 in road fuel tax.  EV owners are getting screwed.

1986 Jeep Comanche with the GM 2.8 V6. God that motor sucked! Crappy carb, head gaskets that leaked if you sneezed too hard, no power, and wasn’t efficient. Oh and it was the 3 speed slushbox just to add insult to injury. I later got a 4.0l 5 speed Comanche and it was much more enjoyable.

Assuming markups aren’t ridiculous, I plan to order an RS3 sometime next year.

Yeah, the ev trucks can tow, but even before the price hike a Rivian was still almost $20k more expensive than what we bought, also exactly 2 ft longer and size was important. Hopefully soon there will be some nice midsize 2 row electric SUVs with around 5-6000lbs of towing capability on the market that don’t cost an…

Price and features is what steered me and the wife from getting electric this go around. To get a similarly equipped electric it was going to be around $12k more and it would still be missing something I considered essential, a decent tow rating. Range wasn’t even a deal breaker for us. We bought an SUV because a…

The guy in the video really had no excuse if his tires were old since those are the 18in gen 2 wheels which use a 335/30/18 of which there are plenty of good options on Tire Rack.

You do realize that no Viper ever built has more weight on the front than the rear? They are all rear bias as far as weight, some more than others. The rt-10 like in the video should be around 51% of static weight on the rear. The hardtop GTS models were close to 54% rear bias.  Fun fact the giant engine sits entirely…

Glad to see there is still no editing or proofreading being done before publishing articles at Jalopnik.

If it was a 2014 or newer, which had the 8 speed and the updated interior, maybe I would have said nice price. But a low trim level, maybe Big Horn at best judging by the pics, with a hemi is nothing special, color not withstanding. I find it funny that they mention it has a tonneau cover but not a single picture with…

I feel like the regular to premium spread really started getting wider around 2012-13. I got my first turbo car in 2009 and even in Chicago where I was living it was still stuck at 10 cent jumps between grades. I would regularly drive between Illinois, Central Indiana, and SE Michigan and when I moved to michigan in…

I think they will sell a bunch in the beginning, but I think what will hold it back from selling like crazy will be it’s size. An f-150 or Silverado are already big vehicles, but from everything I have seen the CT is more F250-2500 size. So people will get it and realize that it is kind of a pain in the ass to drive…

I would probably just do the base model 4xe with the luxury tech 2 package added which brings it to $62k and I have enough tax liability to get the $7500 back at the end of the year. Their site is weird in that on the base 4xe it shows the passenger screen is standard, but you have to pay extra on the more expensive…

2nd gear:

I agree. Hitting an unavoidable pothole on our garbage roads and destroying a wheel or tie rod end resulting in a crash is an accident. Not being aware of your surroundings and not keeping safe distances so you don’t have time to react, resulting in a crash is not an accident, it is negligence.

You are only thinking about it from one angle. Go to any big city on a warm day there will many encounters with street musicians playing guitars, saxophones, drums, etc. Even if the car is playing music loudly, your first thought would not necessarily be “Hey a car is coming.” Or say someone wanted to have some fun…

I don’t think he is criticizing the actual government mandated pedestrian alert noise, just the fact Tesla sought fit to make it so you could blare other annoying crap out of the speaker.  I could be wrong though.
