“...but stuns with superbike acceleration from a stop. At its core, the Ninja 7 Hybrid has the fuel economy of a 250 with the acceleration of a liter bike”

It took my brain a couple seconds to process that headline

I’m VERY surprised they don’t have better traceability on something as safety-critical as seat bolts. Did they not do a PFMEA (as required by ISO 9001/IATF 16949 regulations)? Given the high severity connected to any safety issue and apparent lack of any detection measures, there’s no way in hell training and a work…

Dear NHTSA,

My C7 Corvette is special because it’s one of 50,611 with a manual transmission

If you think that’s scary, show up to your local driver exam station on a Saturday morning (or whenever your local place does their motorcycle testing)

The US market Elise was a pig compared to the S1 - roughly 1900lbs vs 1600lbs

EVERY current BMW M is too heavy (and hideous)

Is that a serious question?

The Mercedes “Illuminated Star”

I legitimately would have bought a new Supra when they gave it a manual transmission... if they hadn’t fucked up the exterior with all the hideous fake vents. 

Technically true since average sea level has risen by about 6.5 inches since 1950

My company is next to TWO schools: a high school and an elementary school which are across the street from each other. I work flexible hours so I encounter traffic from both

Manufacturer plates allow them to drive pretty much any car on the road for valid business purposes, which would include competitive benchmarking

“that’s $480,000 annually, meaning the SF90’s purchase price was over 62 percent of his annual income”

I took one to the neck at about 70mph in the middle of nowhere. It hurt. A lot... Then it started swelling up. For a few minutes I really thought I might suffocate on the side of the road from hitting a bug

Most of them were never really serious. The reservation fee was refundable

Switch out the wheels while you’re at it... I saw an X3M recently wearing 295(?)/35 tires on 21" wheels. 19's with proper sidewalls would be much better

I generally would not recommend an automatic Corvette to anyone

I never thought I would buy any GM product but I now own a C7 Corvette. Performance per dollar value is great and the interior is actually pretty nice - I would definitely recommend it to a friend
