What makes you think that they’re not building real boats? They’re based in Sturgeon Bay Wisconsin and they’re one of the most successful sport-yacht makers in the world. There are several in the marina I’m a member of in Ft. Lauderdale and I witness a couple of them, new hulls and refits, transiting Lake St. Clair…
Opel GT drag cars were all the rage in late 70s, and I thought that I would try to build one as my first real project. At the age of 17. With no mechanical or fabrication experience. Because magazines...
I drove the previous (current?) generation R8 as part of my purchase benchmarking process last year, and I found out it only slightly less uninvolving to drive than other Audis. It’s a great car in many ways, but not as much fun as many other cars in the same price class and I’m that changes with the new-generation…
I’m mildly curious as to why the Charger and the Challenger are listed separately, they are very close to being the same car. Opinions may vary, but I would have grouped both of them together...
What? A 1988 A-body for $12K?
I’ll do my “long, successful career” best to keep mine out of the hands of the riff-raff as long as possible. Or not...
Speak for yourself. I’m partial to, and already have, the Hellcat Charger but I would buy this in a heartbeat over an R8.
I like steel wheels and I can not lie
I love hub-steer bikes and have had several, but they’re a difficult sell in the marketplace. I would pass on the Cafe styling, and consider this only as a full-on sport bike.
The asking price is a little high for the bike itself, and some of these simple bolt-on three-wheel kits are worse than junk. CP...
I hate to be a party-pooper, but I’ve had several Aprilias and you had better buy three of these if you plan on actually riding it, “it” being the aggregate of the three bikes. One would be rideable at any given time - maybe - and the other two would exist to provide spares while you wait 6-18 months for parts.…
Hell no; made with the some truly awful parts. Pass...
“Laconic” acceleration? It accelerates tersely?

I don’t know what you’re so fired-up about...
Autojunkie’s analogy is actually rather apt, as he compares two activities (manual shifting and twiddling with spark/fuel) to newer, highly-automated processes. People buy old cars, in part, to “play with” controls that don’t exist on modern cars. The exact same comparison can be made with transmissions, and that’s…
My experience on Jalopnik is that the people that promote manual transmissions generally reference performance comments from pro-DCT commenters, and then attempt to minimize the importance of that aspect. I barely understand this myself, but there it is...
It doesn’t matter if his opinion represents the majority; he presumes that it does and there is no data to support that.
Because there are a lot of supercar owners, including me, that think that DCTs are actually more fun. You’re making the classic mistake of thinking that your thoughts on this matter represent the majority; I submit that they’re not and I think that articles such as this highlight that there are more people that want…
