Why not simply compete with the Chinese? hell, there must be a reason they’re stealing our IP, design, and products. Quite simply giving others big benefits to control China seems pretty silly. I know I’ll be a minority, but quite frankly why not simply require anyone who sells to us to follow our worker-rights, and…

And Gravedigger would still pollute less then each of them.

Heartbreaking? is one of those emotions I certainly did not have when sending back my POS Jetta. Good riddance. 50+mpg? the only time my TDI Jetta got 50+ mpg was when it was hauled 150 miles on a rollback... even then, I’m not sure it achieved that.

At least he wasn’t blown away?

Yeah, but he used it up crushing those terrible cars.

It’s clear that God hates Fords, Hondas and Mopars. Really.

Rest of the story - my comment earlier appears wrong... sorry

yet he was cited for illegal passing.... the rest of the story from another source

That makes me really mad, but then. If this was a 4 lane road, why was there only one plow truck out there? Did the truck lose its traction and aimed for the spot the plow wasn’t and missed? (probably not since he got cited, but still he’s not in jail for a felony so it’s possible the truck simply lost brakes). I…

The humor in all of this is that the Supreme Court will kick the EPA’s ass so hard that they won’t need earmuffs. Good days of Washington DC entertainment ahead.

I’m seeing a complete defense of hair-too-tight-squeezed-out-morals.... it’s like the twinkie defense only with buns.

I’ve felt for years that the EPA testing is bunk. Basically this is a “you violated the spirit of the rules” when if someone innovates they’re then accused of violating the rules. For example, the EGR and catalytic converters - they aren’t truly necessary. Those are absolute requirements when technology is has…

My dad was a drag racer who raced and played with all the big names of the 60s. Some of my earliest memories was smelling nitro while he was tuning his altered. I’ve never run a car down a drag strip - to be it’s simply 20 seconds of yelling followed by 4 hours of cussing. There rarely is waiting if you’re…

Mopar deniers, next you’ll be running for President.

so right, take your star.

I’m so glad I can go back to liking him, he was the best anti-assignation device surrounding President Obama, but now that that job is done (and we’re safe from him getting access to the nuclear codes). Welcome home Mr. Biden :)

I think at that point, I would have put an LS motor in it, wrapped in Hello Kitty livery, enjoyed reading publishing the cease and desist letters from Ferrari, then made bank on the Jalopnik-book-deal.

I don’t know why, but suddenly I’m hungry for spaghetti.

It’s okay because they come with an awesome manual transmission.... right?

Wait a minute, you race a 924 - you’ve been dead to real-Porsche-owners since 1976. It’s okay, though, come to the Corvette side, we have V8s and manual transmissions (the gold chains are your responsibility).
