I remember that at the time it was a badge of honor if you owned a ZR1 or gen 4 Viper and could drive it into the 10's unmodified. Perfect DA, a well prepped track, and some clutch abuse could net you the magic high 10 second time slip.

I have actually contemplated and looked at those, but with no dealer remotely close to me it is a no go. The Phev would be great though, would cover most of my round trip commute in electric. I would just have to do the lease loophole to try and get the $7500 credit.

WooHoo, Yippie, Hooray.....Oh wait, don’t care too expensive for most of us. Bring something in the Audi S4, BMW M340i price and I would actually be excited and would visit a dealer.

Yep, it was all about giving a little more power and meeting emissions targets. Remember kids fuel economy is not emissions, they can be related but not the same. I am sure because of all the fancy control strategies and aggressive EGR being implemented in the turbo 6 that the actual tailpipe number for co2 and nox are…

Yep, we got lucky on my wife’s car that we bought in 2022 with 1.99% rate. We have enough money to pay it off right now, but the bank is still paying almost 5% on our savings account so it would be stupid to.

$750 a month, but it was 48 month loan. Can’t remember the exact interest rate, want to say around 4-5%. Ended up paying the car off in just over 3 years with some lump sum final payments. Still have the car.

A reliable reasonably priced used car that you hold on to for a while will cost less per mile than any ride share service could hope to.

Custom valved, double adjustable remote reservoir shocks with springs for my track car wins. Second place by about half is an aftermarket larger turbo for my fun daily.

I just had to nitpick on this part of the article.

They clearly missed the full traction control calibration stage or forgot to program for a wheel in the air situation. It didn’t even look like the truck tried to grab the brake of the spinning wheel to force power to the wheel that is on the ground. My 90's sedan has rudimentary traction control that is smart enough…

A lot of that car is going to have new paint. At the minimum you are repainting the fenders, hood, front bumper, and front doors to make the blend. Billable man hours will for sure be one of the most expensive parts of the repair. The green paint and clear itself won’t really be that much money, just the effort to…

It could be NP or ND depending on your wants. If you just want to do fast sports car stuff, a stock or lightly modified Viper is still fast and would be much cheaper, so ND in that case. On the other hand if 500hp bores you and you have been itching for a comma in your horsepower number, by the time you buy just about…

It is a little hard to understand from this article but are the striking workers the equivalent of say mechanics, body shop, and general repair workers at a car dealer in the US? Since the article says Tesla doesn’t have any manufacturing in Sweden I am just trying to understand what work contract these individuals…

The line one always gets me, like what is the extra 10 feet getting you, or worse they start braking in plenty of time to have a nice gentle stop behind the line and still choose to roll over it.

Worse yet, you and all the people in front you have now sat through more than one turn light cycle and everyone should have realized how short it is and yet they still drive slow as molasses. It kills me inside.

Union dues last I checked are 2.5 hours of pay a month. So if you are a top of pay line worker at $32hour it is $80 a month. That said the union takes a portion of all of your bonuses because “they negotiated them for you”

Got to make those V8 noises somehow. Pretty sure between my short commute and Honda fuel economy my yearly gas budget is smaller than $600. Stopping to get gas that often must be annoying for Charger man.

Ford stopping construction on the battery plant is basic business. Currently they are not able to ship a product that provides revenue, they also may not be able to do so on more of their products depending how talks continue. If your business is taking in less revenue, you are going to stop spending on capital…

“We need to stop pretending that the UAW workers are some beaten down population that doesn’t get anything. They aren’t, and when you look at the pay/benefits/bonuses of their “unskilled” (hate that term) workers it’s WAY WAY better than any other industry.”

Yeah A/T’s are not great in the mud, but depending on how thick or soup like it was out there the TRX has enough power on tap to generate a lot of wheel speed to clear the treads from the centrifugal force alone.
