The holy grail of automotive bad ideas, the rear-engine front wheel drive layout, was used in at least one serious attempt to make a good race car. It was a classic Mini Cooper with a Buick 215 V8 mounted in the back. They wanted to do the classic trick of sticking a powerful American V8 in a lightweight,…
I’m hoping they’ll just re-release it with different enough bodywork to not cause problems, and then everything will be fine and dandy.
I was factoring in the fact that you have to add the emissions from the factory to the emissions the car produces every 20 years. That way, for every 20 years more that you use the car, that’s 20 years without the big initial emissions dump from the factory that would’ve come with buying a new car. Not to mention that…
Am I the only one who’s actually liking this thing so far? Sure, 360 horsepower isn’t as much as the CTS-V or ATS-V had, but 360 still ain’t bad. With 360, it could still be plenty fun to drive. It could possibly even be a competitor to the Kia Stinger. And, I’m sorry, but the CTS-V and ATS-V were just ugly. The…
One of the nice things about being a classic car enthusiast is that if you continue driving a car long after it’s over 20 years old, it’s actually better for the environment than if you were to buy a brand-new, more efficient car, since making new cars produces a lot of emissions. I just hope that gasoline (or at…
AAAAARRRE YOU GONNA TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT?
Wow. I always thought of Tesla as being rather conservative with their styling aside from not having grilles. Not anymore. I actually hope the production truck really looks like that, because I want to see more weird and interesting cars on the road, and it doesn’t get much weirder than this. Although... How the heck…
You can get really good condition Mercury Cougars for within that price range, just sayin’. They’re fast and muscular (well, by ‘60s standards anyway), they can smoke tires, they were more luxurious and comfortable than the Mustangs they were based on, they’ve got style to spare as well as flashiness, old American V8s…
Well of course if it’s the canned stuff! Growing up, we only ever ate the cranberry sauce that was more like applesauce made with cranberries, because that stuff’s actually good. So good, in fact, that we often tend to eat it by itself rather than use it alone. Also, green bean casserole is delicious, fight me.
Not even just compared to those other SUVs. I think this thing genuinely looks good. I didn’t think that was possible anymore, but Aston Martin did it. Even by car styling standards, that’s a good looking vehicle. This has got to be the prettiest modern SUV I’ve ever seen!
The heck? I actually like Mustang IIs, but that price is insane! And it doesn’t even have a v8! The fun of these is that they’re interesting and have some potential for fun for cheap. At over 18 grand, that thing is most certainly not cheap. At least not cheap enough for Mustang II levels of fun. Crack pipe.
For some reason, I actually like Mustang IIs. They look better in person. I saw the one from Guardians of The Galaxy at the Petersen, and I thought it looked epic in that wonderfully ridiculous ‘70s way. Everyone probably has a car that they want even though it’s not great and there’s not really any good or rational re…
I had to read that in Mr. Regular’s voice. It felt right.
The state of California is known by the state of California to be a substance that is known by the state of California to contain substances that are known by the state of California to cause cancer, which is also known by the state of California to cause cancer. This comment, too, is known by the state of California…
I can’t decide whether that’s the coolest or dorkiest thing I’ve ever seen. It may even be both...
You... You just got paid to write that. They paid you to write “chowder-like slurries of waste”. You have the best job...
Look closely at Vader’s nether regions and you’ll see a little rectangular indentation, which looks like it could be some sort of door. That’s how part of it probably works, but as for the other end... I don’t know. Though with his cape on, maybe there’s another hatch we’re just not seeing...
I’m still trying to be optimistic and hope that it will drive like a cross between a Model 3, Mustang, and WRX. I think it looks like it could. Though it also looks like it could just as likely be terrible and a disgrace to the Mustang name. I’m definitely eager to see the reviews.
For far too long, I’ve driven on 40-ish year-old tires which I couldn’t shake the feeling would detonate at any speed exceeding 45. Therefore, I have come to think of 45 mph as my personal warp 1. Anything beyond 45 was warp 2, and insane and unsafe. Now that I’ve ditched the old rubber for new whitewalls, a whole…
Holy schlamolly! 54!!?? In a Peel!!?? Even the thought of going 30 in such a small car seems scary. I can’t help but think that in order to go 54 in that thing, your organ which I will refer to simply as “jingly biscuits” would have to be too large to actually fit in that tiny car.
