I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but I don’t think you were using the Pilot Assist to its full extent. There is a normal lane-keeping system on the vehicle that will tug on wheel as you steer. But the Pilot Assist is essentially driving the car for you in the lane you choose. Yes, you still have to have a hand on the…

All road course cars will have the mount, but the wiper can be removed until needed. However, some teams claim that mounting the wiper vertical on the windshield can have a small aerodynamic effect on the car. I wouldn't be surprised to see teams try different mounting angles to try to get an aero advantage on the…

That was the first thing I thought of.

Yes and no. Cooling systems are critical, but they are so efficient these days. The 2019 Shelby GT350 grille opening decreased in size because Ford engineers found that they didn’t need as much flow anymore.

I don’t know about the hardtop either. I was at the dealership a couple weeks ago, looking at a Volvo because I don’t have AM money, and I just could not force myself to like that car. It’s the side angle that really bothers me. The holdover models from last year were a lot more appealing.

We bought a Focus EV. It’s still made in the US.... At least for now.

The dark brown Nappa leather with ventilated seats..... It’s a thing of comfort and beauty. Also one of the hardest combinations to find on dealer lots with the XC60/S90.

Yeah, I’m enjoying being a dinosaur today. Satellite and DVR have made this a treat. Watched the start, paused the DVR, went for a bike ride and breakfast, caught back up by fast forwarding yellows, commercials, and TK’s studio analysis.

I see y’all have the pun game wrapped up here, so I’m go to be like LeBaron and take my talents to South Beach.

It sounds like it just looks sportier. Couldn’t they improve the offroad ability at all?

I’ve driven some of the new GM cars with video rear view “mirrors”. I have trouble getting used to them. The image is so unnatural.

Why does an electric 911 not need a rear window? I drive an electric car... Maybe I should spray paint over the rear window and see if it matters.

I live in LA now, so we only get snow in the mountains. When it does, everyone seems to think its time to prove the might of their brodozers, Tahoes, and Jeeps. I throw two 50lb bags of sand in my little 30 year old Alfa Romeo and enjoy seeing countless trucks stuck in the middle of the road. I kind of want a truck…

I was just thinking about that article. Apparently if we were smart, we would only drive wagons and crossovers.

Will plug-in versions be available at launch, or is that going to be at a later date TBD like the XC40?

Although, didn’t I read somewhere that Volvo may drop diesels in the near future? So that may be the end of Volvo manual transmissions if/when it happens.

Also, electric drayage trucks for ports already exist.

Now we just need another manufacturer to see a value in doing this, and we have ourselves a race on our hands. If they did, I wouldn’t really care if they’d dominate overall wins, I’d love to see them run their own class in IMSA for a season. The challenge for them would be to see if a car that fast could survive the…

This is exactly how I feel about my old Alfa. It’s definitely slow by modern standards (I think it would struggle to beat my Focus Electric in a drag race), but it feels so sporting. I drove my Alfa and a new 4C back to back in the mountains. My old Spider was slow enough to let you enjoy the experience of pushing…

Thank you a million times over. This story made my weekend. I don’t car if it really happened or not.
