1st Gear: Ford Sucks, GM Is Better

People who aren't interested in driving their car - or only have a car because they "need" it - DEFINITELY NEED to buy an autonomous one for the safety and piece of mind of every road user who can then drive safe in the knowledge that they can't get cut up or run into by someone preoccupied with texting Stacey next…

So, you have an autonomous car.

I disagree, it's the perfect car for the character; a humble little civilian sedan with a simple straight-six, fitting for a normal middle-aged business man. It also creates a greater sense of helplessness and terror since he's almost unable to out-perform a giant semi-truck that could crush it into scrap metal.

I thought about this for a moment too, but that Dart totally fits in as part of the terror. The car is incapable of getting away from an oil tanker for chrissakes! It overheats going up a hill and can't handle for shit equaling very high tension!

I will say that winter weather driving in this area is certainly abysmal and that has to do with your point about transplants. Many from places without snow and many more from countries without snow.

That is an excellent question! It really comes down to reliability and durability. A factory car will always be more reliable and durable than a tuned car, because the factory car was originally designed to handle the power.

That should buff right out.

To be fair, in the United States since 2002, there have been only 4 commercial airline crashes. Only 1 of those crashes were in a larger aircraft (think 737 or bigger) and the amount of people who died in all of those crashes was 122, that is an average of 11 per year in this country. To put it in perspective, on…

It's straight up unacceptable in most western countries.

Ending prohibition with have the effect of reducing the money cartels get. Thus they will have less money to buy power and weapons.

Better tires. The difference between the cornering performance/feel of my humble Fusion with the original tires from the factory vs. the Eagle GTs that I replaced them with is astounding. Tires should always be your first move.

While I intellectually get the arguments against 3 pedals, I still don't like it. It's "more = better" type of thinking that I don't think holds in all cases. If I can get this degree of performance doing it one way, and I can get +1 more degree of performance doing it another way, then that's always better. Look,…

300hp during and era when 220 was alot. One of the fastest top end cars that a normal person could afford (155mph if I recall correctly...). Yeah, snoozetastic.

Considering that I probably see about one car a month with absolutely no functioning brakelights and substantially more than that with tinted taillights, I'd constantly be in accidents if I only paid attention to brakelights.

This one seems to be going away. Though I was thoroughly disappointed when I saw a brand new truck sporting these recently.

Speed Hole.
