Nice list! Good arguments for every single one including your 2010s prediction.

It'll never happen. If there's one thing the US automotive industry clings to it's "heritage". And it's heritage that will ultimately destroy it. Makes me sick. We have the potential to be the greatest auto producers in the world but we will never choose to do what has to be done.

Thank you for making that point. I keep hearing people say "He doesn't want to save companies, he want's to tear them apart!" Well, in many cases that's the best thing to do. Strong economies are not built and sustained by nurturing unhealthy inefficient companies. You let them die so their assets can be acquired by…

Hey, great video, man.

Meanwhile my E36 would be stuck. I guess I should get some winter tires.

I'm going with the origial Viper (concept car shown). It was the first car in my lifetime that was actually true to the concept when it actually went into production. This did not occur again until the Ford GT.

64.5-65 have a thin vertical fake louver, honeycomb grill, and side bars on the grill emblem. 66 has brickwork grill, no side bars on the emblem, and the fake quarter panel louver has a pair of horizontal bars extending forward.

1. don't care

If Tesla owners were informed enough to understand the care and maintenance requirements of high capacity lithium power storage they wouldn't have bought the cars in the first place. 10 years from now? Sure. Today? Not a chance.

When cornering, the outside wheel strut top must resist forces pushing it outboard. The strut top of the inside wheel must resist forces pushing it inboard. When the strut top is suspended on 3 inch stack of nuts I'd expect lots of camber change due to flex. Or worse.

In many if not all states it is unlawful to intentionally interfere with lawful hunting activities. I'm sure it's also illegal to shoot down toy quadricopters so I guess they're even.

Extactly!

Talks seems to be focused on spring forces on the bolts, but good grief... it's a STRUT! There are lateral forces! Why do you think people add strut tower braces? Side-loads! I would be more worried about corners than speed bumps.

I think that most Prius drivers (in the USA) get it all wrong by accelerating hard off the line. They cruise below the speed limit, but waste a ton of energy getting up to speed. If I'm approaching a traffic light I always queue up behind the Prius because I know they'll come off the line like it's a drag race. Of…

I'll just leave this right here.

NO. WAY.

We wont' get it in the USA anyway, so pontificating over pedal count is really just a waste of time isn't it? #bitterthatweneverdgetthespecia...

I miss Tivo and what it would be today had it matured to its potential. It had a user-interface that my wife didn't get frustrated with. It had the most ergonomic remote ever created. It figured out what I liked and suggested shows I wasn't aware of. Often times its recommendations were good ones. It knew who my…

We are. When I read through #oppositelock I realize there is now an entire generation of adults that are a full generation younger than us (assuming you were a kid like I was when Ferris Bueller hit the screen - I was 15)

I'm so torn between an FJ80 and FJ100 right now. I want the engine and interior refinement of the 100 with the utility of the 80. Too bad there are no 105s in the USA. That would do the trick.
