Because journalists, even those who work for blogs like this one, don’t rat out their sources to the subject of the sources’ criticism?

So what? I made $6345.22 last month from my laptop. I just made a down payment on a BMW with my last check. my sister in law made over $80,000 last year on Google.

I’m glad I’m not the only one annoyed by that sort of thing.

Please! Or if you’re feeling really civic, draw straws and have like 10 percent of you relocate to flyover country. 300,000 or so Californians, and there were millions to spare, could have swung this.

Went to undergrad at the University of Dayton, can confirm.

I was thinking the same thing. Are you really ever using 6th on the track? (Hint: no). Are you ever even in 5th? (maybe, depends on the engine). So why not have close-ratio track gears, and a tall 6th (or a taller 5th and 6th) for highway cruising?

I’ve been thinking exactly the same thing. Price it to start around $100K, badge it a Cadillac, and keep the Corvette a Corvette (perhaps while sharing parts).

I saw the mugshot and thought “not bright, but kind of cute.” Then I looked closer and saw the neck tattoo, and thought “definitely a C4.”

That plane, though old and long out of production, may actually be newer than the Donald’s 757. Although I bet this one doesn’t have gold-plated ethernet ports.

And autocorrect pwn3d.

A new car loses 25% of its value the moment it drives off the lot.

(*Correction: the dealership originally told me this truck had a 4.6 V8, but Toyota has informed me it’s actually a 4.0 V6 truck.)

I love that movie. I once said that the proof of its cinematic genius is that it makes Tom Cruise look talented, and the Porsche 928 look fast. Although it did take an entire chase scene for the gang to lose Guido the Pimp in his malaise-era Cadillac, so maybe the second point is a bit overstated. Still, great film.

You know, as long as we’re on the topic of sacrilege, I love me a 2+2 Ferrari GT. Give me a V-12 in the front, a pint-sized backseat in the back, and a gated shifter in between. As long as I’m dreaming, it might as well be something I can pull into the daycare parking lot...

To your point about ADM, real-world transaction costs on a base GT with performance pack and Recaros will probably thousands less than an RS for just that reason. The Mustang will go at or below invoice while the RS will almost certainly have ADM at the outset and may have it for its entire (limited) production run.…

Soft rock? Really? Already disappointed.

They’re not independent for “antitrust reasons.” They’re independent because dealer associations give millions of dollars each year to state legislatures in exchange for laws that protect franchise dealers from competition. That’s it. That’s the only reason. Every time the DOJ or FTC studies those laws, they conclude…

It could just mean that Tesla has adopted a different pre-launch hype strategy. Call me a cynic, but I’m not convinced that every “leak” of a new car design that pops up on social media is unauthorized.

Mazda RX-8. About 3 years ago I came soooooo close to buying one of the last ones built, a 2011 with 4-figure mileage. A faster, hardtop Miata, with 4 doors, a comfortable backseat, and a 9000-RPM redline? What’s not to love?

Love the pic. I DD a 2013 GT in that same color and two years in the novelty still hasn’t worn off.
