That’s my biggest concern with a potential hybrid or turbo V6 replacement for the LC: Getting it to last for 25 years or 300,000 miles without major servicing.

Put Hoosier drag slicks on an F1 and see how that race goes.

As long as judges invariably take an officer’s word over joe citizen’s word, they have incredible authority.

America has plenty of very small trucks.

The show’s budget probably isn’t as vast as Lucifer’s finances in-universe, thus it would be difficult to procure some cars that Lucifer might well drive.

Legally, trucks are primarily designed and/or equipped to transport cargo and not passengers.

Freedom cannot exist without risk.

That may be the conventional wisdom, however statistics show that mandatory vehicle inspections don’t actually make anyone safer. Less than 2% of crashes are attributable to mechanical failure, and most of those are single vehicle accidents.

...Why does the Live Free or Die state even have safety inspections?

I had a similar experience when I was doing sprints from a dig against a friend with an R1100GS vs my FJR1300. The FJR is significantly more powerful and is way faster at the top end, but from a dig, that R1100GS went toe to toe with me through the top of 2nd gear (which for his bike was about 60mph). We both had our…

Judging based on the car itself might not be a good idea, but judge all you like depending on their explanation on why they drive that particular car. Circumstances of acquisition and the condition of the car cosmetically/functionally can tell a lot about a person. Also, bumper stickers are judge-worthy material.

My guess is that this car is destined for middle eastern royalty, or maybe the Sultan of Brunei. It would be essentially impossible to fence in the Western world.

Some people just can’t take a compliment.

Credit where it’s due, a compression ignition gasoline inline 6 is the next best thing to a rotary in terms of cool.

I can’t forgive Hummer because Hummer never offended me in the first place.

The latter is not the case with the GLI, and even if it were, leaving a car unlocked instead of just pressing the dang button on the key fob is not a great practice.

But... but... the Soviets just did it wrong! As did Cuba... and North Vietnam... and China....

The irony of car journalists denouncing capitalism is almost painful

Neutral: When Was the Last Time You Bought a Car From a Dealership?

Tiny wheels combined with a very short wheelbase makes these things incredibly unstable and prone to crashing. E-bikes are inherently safer.
