Could you imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth in this article? “Why would you scrap a perfectly good big-block V8 that made 180 HP on its best day just you can have an EV with enough power to accelerate to highway speed before February?”

Does it have a rear diff that can make it through a 20-minute track session without overheating and throwing the car into limp mode? Will it be available for retail purchase for less than $55,000?

Don’t even get me started on the price of full-size trucks, which can now come dangerously close to six figures...for a work vehicle.

Presumably the NTSB will issue a report at some point, but for now, we can only guess.

Exactly. I use Android Auto and I could easily see a native system being better, especially if it integrates data from vehicle sensors (e.g., fuel/battery range, or not locking out browsing when the passenger seat is occupied). Android Auto is getting worse, not better, over time and a manufacturer-specific solution…

Yeah, I usually know what I’m signing up for when I click into one of these “we asked our readers for comments and used them to populate a slideshow for extra clicks” articles, but that was still cringe. “Why would you buy an RS3 instead of an M3?” I dunno, because they’re different cars and the RS3 is significantly…

I think the whole point is that the FRS was intended from the outset to be a good platform for modding. A stock S2000 isn’t all that fast on a track either, at least according to SCCA classing rules and my own anecdotal observations of results.

S.S. William G. Mather. 20th-century “double ender” Great Lakes bulk carrier on display in Cleveland. Extremely cool and very much worth the modest admission charge.

Seriously underrated post. This is not about “unchecked corporate power,” it simply maintains a land-use scheme that has been in place for over 50 years and has worked well for both sides — Disney and the public alike — for that entire time. This just means the wife of the state party chair, and a pastor who thinks…

Unmodified, cosmetic wear and tear that drives down the price a bit and wouldn’t make me feel bad about turning it into a track toy. And performance cars of that age with six-figure mileage are often in better shape than ones that simply sat in a garage for decades. NP all day.

Performance SUVs are a generally silly concept, but imagine deciding to drop $90k on one made by Dodge when Porsche, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, etc. exist at that price point. Then imagine announcing to the entire world that you did so because you thought it would be cOlLeCtiBLe. LOLOLOL.

This is a German thing for sure. I got downvoted on the GTI subreddit for calling this stupid and pointless, but it is stupid and pointless. If my 2013 Mustang with a 5-liter, 390-ft/lb V8 could have lugnuts and studs, my 2.0 turbo-4 GTI can probably manage them as well. It’s not so bad when mounting the donut spare,…

Yeah, Magary seems to be losing his fastball. He’s increasingly likely to miss the line between “salty” and “mean-spirited” or “dark,” and while he hasn’t said anything overtly offensive, he’s not as funny as he used to be.

Reminds me of a quote I heard from a park ranger about the challenges in designing bear-proof garbage containers:

There’s one of those in the Presidential gallery at the USAF Museum in Dayton, too. LBJ loved it.

Classic case of “I have $40k sunk into this car, therefore it is worth at least $40k.” Easiest ND I’ve ever seen on this website.

A wagon you could at least track once in a while if you were so inclined. An SUV, “competition” badging or not, won’t pass tech because it’s too tall.

It’s a review. The reviewer did not, in fact, buy one, but simply shared his subjective thoughts about the car. As one does in a review.

I like two-tone paint jobs and I’m glad to see them making a comeback, but this one looks like it’s one set of 21" chrome wheels away from being a 2008 Chrysler 300 waiting to meet its fifth owner at the buy-here-pay-here lot.

Or (counterintuitively) use flash if you’re going to do so.
