New models that are purchased right after launch have more problems. Complex cars costing over 100k have more problems. Falcon doors, autonomous abilities, worlds largest single piece of automotive glass...it doesn’t surprise me that some of the “early adopters” are having issues. The only thing that worries me with

Miata’s should be N/A. End of story. Laggy turbos that disconnect your foot from the car don’t seem very “driving matters-ish” to me.

Yes please. AWD, 2.5t in red. 3 pedals?! Whateves, their auto is doable.

That's a glorious marine duncecap.

Put the spokes with a solid color (black) paint job, and it’d be just about perfect. As it is, the dragster is too much “look at me” for my tastes....but I guess that’s what they’re going for.

I simultaneously love and hate this comment.

Handbrakes are fun, but I don’t think that’s the kind of antics Ford had in mind when they created it. Although I’m sure if Mr. Block wants one that way, he can get one. I think (hope?) it’s perfect just how it is, but I could see it getting a certain 5.2 liter flat crank V8 at some point. Maybe even with Turbos.

If Autonomous cars can prevent 90% of traffic fatalities, it’s a no brainer. I think that once we get to full implementation of mature AD systems, it will be closer to 99+%. I just hope I can still take over on the back roads occasionally. If not, maybe I’ll keep one of my ICE cars for that. On the other hand, in the

The “sea” model looks the best IMO. To my eyes, it looks better proportioned with the bigger wings.

That was absolutely great. Best thing I've seen in a while. Bravo dad, bravo.

The looks=best aero of any SUV/Van, ever, apparently. And uh, it’s not a 911/R8 because it’s not a car/sports car/super car. It’s just as fast as one. Besides all that nonsense, it’s quite the achievement. I wish I could afford one.

Leave Portland alone!! Eeehhh, too late.

Is this really the world we live in?

187 is a totally ridiculous number. I still can’t believe how stupid our leadership is sometimes. It’s time to fire up that production line, and double or even triple the amount of Raptors we have. Oh, and screw the JSF in favor of it.

Gorgeous is an understatement.

How about a Pope ekranoplane flying over people at low altitude, so he can get his blessing on in rapid fashion.

The car is becoming more and more a transportation appliance. Fine, I guess. I spend most of my time in traffic anyway. Just don’t turn motorcycles into robotic Segway’s. Please.

Good choice. This needs to happen ASAP. The diplomatic immunity wrecking crew or something.

Tyler, among the many mistakes the JSF program has made, it seems to me that the engine, and lack of a competition might just be the biggest one at this point. The F-35 is overweight and underpowered. The diet part is hard and costly. Incremental gains (losses) can be made, but it would seem that an engine improvement

Well said. It seems there’s there this prevalent attitude with people, where it’s the old “you’re either with us, or against us”. It's ok to agree with some things and disagree with other things. The world is not black and white.
