The other reason it’s bullshit is that the “depreciation” figure is based on MSRP that nobody pays. The Legacy 3 typically have more fat packed into the MSRP, and offer more frequent and larger rebates. The real comparison is depreciation from (invoice-incentives); if you’re paying more than that for most new cars,…

All that damage for want of a good $20 tire-pressure gauge. Those cheap ones that look like ballpoint pens are useless.

Or . . . candy!

But it’s actually called an “illusion.”

Beat me to it.

Glad I was not the only one to notice this. Surely the United States is not deploying B-52Ds to Sweden, as they’ve been out of service for at least 30 years now.

Not strictly a car name, but any buy-here-pay-here lot with the words “Elite,” “Exotic,”or “Prestige” in its name. If you bought it there, your car is none of those things.

Agreed. Any manual these days will have hill-start assist, but a quick tug on the handbrake is a very discreet way to lose a few MPH when you spot a revenue agent and engine-braking alone won’t do it.

You have to figure that on the heels of Karate Kid, Elizabeth Shue was just too expensive for a minor supporting role, but it’s a damn shame.

That’s what I see as the end game in this, once the technology is sufficiently proven in the real world. On-duty remote operators responsible for monitoring 5 (or 20, or 100, depending on demonstrated need for human intervention) autonomous trucks, intervening when the default algorithm of “Pull off road…

A human truck driver can take out your family right now. The question isn’t whether autonomous systems are perfectly safe, it’s whether they’re safer or less safe than the *typical* (not ideal) human operator. A computer does not get bored, tired, distracted, angry, aggressive, sloppy, etc.

It’s an early S197 Mustang with the 401(A) appearance package. Pre-2011 or so, with the 5-speed. I recognize it because I have a late S197 with 401(A). Mine’s a six-speed, with the VW-style layout (R is left of 1 and you have to push down to engage it). The appearance package includes the metal shift knob as pictured.

Cool writeup. I’ve always wanted a DMC-12 but I’ve assumed that the hot setup is to just swap in an SBC or something.

Say what you will about its looks, but we auto enthusiasts should applaud Honda for bringing to market a family car with a rear-mounted boxer engine.

This can’t be good for his diabetiss.

Coming soon to a left lane near you!

Worst part is, on a lot of the newer jets, it's impossible to turn the traction control all the way off.

My family car growing up/DD when I was a teenager was a 1987 Ford Aerostar with a 5-speed manual. It was awesome. If someone made a RWD minivan with a stick and a modern (300+HP) engine today, I'd buy one. You can get the soon-to-be-discontinued Mazda5 with a stick but it's too small to really be a "minivan" by…

I had to chuckle when I clicked the link and looked at all the photos. 1999 — year of the remote control for the stereo head unit, and the trunk-mounted CD changer.

But still, I want so bad.

Pack fan here. I remember that game and ISTR that the Pats had first-and-goal from the one and threw four straight incomplete passes, turning it over on downs (to which the Packers responded with a 99-yd TD drive). I could remember wrong, though.

I've been saying this all day. In 20+ years of following football, I've never seen a QB face so little criticism after a bad interception. Terrible decision coupled with a poor throw. If the play isn't developing the way it's supposed to (and it wasn't), throw it to the blonde in Row 8.
