Yes let’s bring back the terrible “cash for clunkers” program which was a train wreck.

They’ll sell dozens, DOZENS!

So- bring the diesel here, with carplay.

As an LC200 owner, I think it really just needs some Android Auto/Apple Car Play love. Otherwise, the interior is fine.

*pic for ghits and shiggles*

I tend to stick to old cars as a matter of taste, but one thing that drove me nuts in the one modern car I ever had was that I prefer my accelerator to be connected directly to the throttle body with a real cable. Having what is essentially a fake pedal sending a signal to a computer to open the throttle just isn’t…

It’s no wonder people are abandoning car platforms. How is a car going to survive against THAT in an accident??!! You need to make a tank to survive a tank! (Note, tanks have shitty visibility, and are a danger to anything around them that are smaller than they are.)

The lack of mudflap on trucks like this with knobby tires is a huge pita too. Cracked windshields everywhere!

My whole gripe is that the S3 Elise is “illegal” because it doesn’t meet “safety standards”, but the damn Silverado is allowed to go around murdering pedestrians all willy-nilly.

Come to my town! We have numerous lifted Ford F250's with limo-tinted front windows, smoke stacks spewing out diesel, and f*cking red LED headlights, and the cops don’t seem to give a shit.

So, it is illegal to have aftermarket exhaust, tinted windows, euro headlights, etc. (Varies depending on jurisdiction). Yet, this trend of ever bugger truck / SUV is fine?

I still drool over every single Mazda I see that comes in that gorgeous red they make, though

Man, fuck these slideshows. I was almost about to read this. One would think G/O would get the hint after a while. I’m not minimizing my whole set-up when I can just go to C&D or the Mazda website.

what theyre worth today has no basis in reality.  its only because our financial system is bullshit. 

That mid-late 2000s TL was also a thing of beauty.  Then Acura decided to give the keys to their design center to an 11 year old.

No one except Ghosn’s wife

There are so many. I could go with the way General Motors developed the Vega and foisted it upon Chevrolet, but that is too obvious. So I’m going to go with Ford dropping the Taurus name.

Henry Ford was like, ‘Nah, I’ve already got one car company run by an anti-semitic megalomaniac, why do I need another?’

This has been mentioned before...Acura execs getting jealous that their individual cars “Legend” and “Integra” had better name recognition than “Acura” as a brand, so they renamed them the “RL” and “RSX” and then slowly killed whatever public goodwill they had. Their fix? To make their lineup more and more bland yet…

As a fellow supercharged-modified car owner, I feel your pain :(
