First, there's no reason an electronic throttle has to be worse than a cable throttle. All other things being equal I'll take the electronic throttle. It offers more room for tinkering.

My friend's dad has and still drives a Ford Aspire. That thing is frightening to be inside. It feels like an errant wind from a passing truck could jettison it off the road.

Hey Raph... you should have Jalopnik do an in-depth article on car restoration. See if you can convince gawker to use the Baja Bug as the guinea pig for the article and get them to foot the bill on a full blown restoration of that car.

While neck & neck with Alabama, they still hold the coveted "We're not Florida" -position.

On another personal note, you're fucking retarded.

Hey! 47% of Walmart employees take taxpayer dollars to feed themselves, but by GOLLY the prices sure are good.

Who is this Missouri dude? Please tell him to ship all reamining Tesla's to me, we've ran out again.

This pisses me off to no fucking end because everyone is quick to jump on and slam entitlements that benefit individuals, but turn a blind-eye to corporate entitlements. This may not qualify as a check from the government, but it's equally egregious in that it protects fat cat dealerships from competition. It's like…

Hoping an American company, that employs Americans, and is expanding in America, is un-American. I'm ashamed for you.

Can confirm. We are shit.

My car's baby brother, like all baby brothers, is ballsy and dumb.

As some one who deals with shipping pallets on a regular basis I salute thee, wooden and/or plastic tool for the masses. May you always be there to keep things nice and tidy and stackable.

I got this video to play in Firefox 10 ESR in Windows 98. Why? Because I'm INSANE

That word... "ban" it does not mean what you think it means. Typically, a ban means an action/item/whatever is forbidden and will be punished if said thing is done by somebody. Littering is banned. Selling alcohol to minors is banned. Killing people is banned. Saying dumb shit is not banned, but you have to accept the…

Also, your argument makes no sense. Outrage from citizens or private entities is not the same as governmental censorship.

He can't say THAT word. Not on HBO, not on Discovery (whatever that is these days), not even on a bloody test pattern.

You can whistle dixie all you want, but that neo-confederate version of history is bull. Southern politicians were so fearful of the idea of Lincoln as President - a man who never said he wanted total emancipation - that they turned traitor against the country they claimed to belong to. That was because slavery was…

Is that how you respond to all criticism

See, "modded corvette would whoop a Miata". Stock for stock, no so much. Modded against stock, same thing but even more. Getting into the whole "my car is better than yours because my penis is bigger" argument is juvenile and indicative of a mouth-breathing ape.
