This is Trump’s idea of ‘law and order’. I know I feel so much safer knowing that a teenage transgender woman can be abducted by guys without identifying themselves and taken away in an unmarked van without due process.

To Save Cities, We May Need To Ditch The Car People

How has the US done with the COVID-19 pandemic? An indisputable, unpleasant statistic: the US has 4% of the world’s population, and over 25% of the world’s cases of COVID-19. And climbing fast.

Thanks! As a teenager, I’ve slept my share of nights in a ‘65 Mustang when shit got so bad at ‘home’ that I couldn’t go there. This was back in the 70's, it was a rusted out piece of shit and not the ‘collectible’ it would be today. No insulation from the single-layer convertible top, front bucket seats that didn’t…

This is a car site, and this thread is a highly political one with a very thin connection to cars. But, since the topic was brought up...

Totally agree! I get it that manual transmission buyers are a small and shrinking segment of the market, that most buyers will only buy an automatic, we’re dinosaurs, etc. etc. But I think most manufacturers are making two big mistakes and would otherwise sell some more of them.

I’ll just plagiarize myself and repost a comment I made about BaT earlier this year. It applies even more when someone pays a quarter million dollars for a 1988 BMW. 

This does not bode well for a new Nissan Z car ever seeing the light of day.

What a novel idea. A court and legal system looking out to protect people from blatantly misleading marketing (even if it’s from their own stupidity).

Just more of that legendary GM quality, even in the flagship Corvette.

It might have something to do with where the ‘height’ is located - long torso/shorter legs can get a better view vs shorter torso/longer legs (like my wife and sister).

I’m on this site too often for sound mental health, and I’m happy with my two Subarus, a WRX and a BRZ (other than the requisite bitching about wanting ‘more power’ in the BRZ)(not really, it’s fine the way it is). 

Because for those challenged of height (like my 5'2" wife and 5'3" sister), those extra few inches of altitude mean the difference between being comfortable in actually seeing down the road and around other cars vs feeling overwhelmed by all the Escalades, Yukons, Expeditions, etc. lumbering around on most roads.

Thanks!

Not every car is targeted to driving enthusiasts and has to have 500+ hp. The Crosstrek is one of them. Most buyers are happy with a car that is reliable, serviceable, and meets their transportation needs without asking too much in return.

“$59 a car”

I’m sure Ford would happily embrace all of Tesla’s mistakes if it would get them Tesla’s market capitalization ($185 vs $25 billion).

So is putting the Tremec in the Mach 1 a not-so-subtle admission by Ford that the MT82 really is garbage? The Tremec 3160 is mentioned right in the press release - a week after the class-action lawsuit was filed on the MT82.

I’m thrilled they put the better transmission in the Mach 1. That significantly increases the…

Agree completely on this being the way of public American companies (I’ve worked for several). That’s what happens when it’s codified into law that a public company must “maximize shareholder value”. That priority takes precedence over everything else. It means squeezing and squeezing and squeezing costs out of…

I own a 2015 Mustang GT with one of these delightful manual transmissions. My experiences are probably atypical, both because at 60-something I don’t exactly beat on it as hard as some Mustang owners do, and with only 9000 miles my experiences aren’t long-term.
