Just making a BRZ/Z4 joke.

One of the things I admire about the USA is how emissions never spread from one state to another - the atmosphere of each state is completely isolated along the state line.

Freedumb!!!!! 

Yeah we should model things after Alabama or Texas instead. 

Automakers were fine with the rules Obama rolled out in 2012 because automakers had 12 years to figure out how to get there. Then the leadership in the country lowered it and now wants to raise it. But thats only 3 years away now, and it takes a little longer to turn the ship than that.

I for one feel great relief knowing that the great state of California can again dictate fuel economy standards for the entire country. As we all know, California has proved itself time and again the best-run state. Having lived here for 20 years I feel very confident that the terrible economy, union-run legislature,…

I want that sandwich so bad.

Old cars suck! They’re dangerous and bad for the environment. They’re also always worse driving than I remembered. These days, whenever I get into an older car they feel so damn loud and slow. They should be relegated to the garage and left off the streets.

I love trucks and even I don’t get these.

Neat. I still think it’s pointless. Fun Story, I hauled mulch today and didn’t need a pickup and my life and SUV aren’t ruined. I guess if you like it and you dig funky vehicles, good on ya. (general you)

*waves hand* Hello! I’m both an off-roader and a conservationist. I off-road to get to points in the wilderness that aren’t practical to hike to (and then bike and hike beyond those points!). I’ve installed a quieter muffler on my Jeep, so I can not scare the wildlife quite so much. And I hate irresponsible…

No doubt.

I’d never have guessed that an activity that can summarized as “see all this beautiful, pristine nature? Let’s wreck it by driving several-ton vehicles all over it!” would have a problem with being respectful.  

While the Class 4 roads are public roads, the town doesn’t want to deal with off-roaders and any potential shenanigans and damage.

Power profile with DI turbo 4s are great. Torque hits extremely low in the range, which makes it super useable in the real world. NA V6s and V8s typically have the traditional curve with peak closer to redline. It’s just a different character. 

Kia Dealerships were hurting sales by using the same crappy/predatory tactics they normally use. The $40k sports sedan crowd doesn’t respond as well to requiring a deposit and credit check for a test drive like the subprime market does.

I may have dysflexia. I first saw...

Nissan gonna nissan.  The bottom of the barrel as far as the Japanese brands go.  The FCA of the East.

Is Nissan even going to be around in 96 months?
