Beautiful.

Wouldn’t be my first choice for a super/hyper car, but I love Pagani’s gauges:

There was a period in time where I railed against Dodge for giving all of their cars a truck face. But I have to say, I like this better than any actual modern Camaro face.

haha, no it’s cool. I realized that’s what you meant... although it took me a minute. But every time I see taillights like this, especially the Dodge ones, I think of Cyclops from the X-Men.  It seemed like a funny counterpoint.  Maybe not. We’re both bad at jokes, it seems.

Is your face heckblende?

Ok, see.... at first skim of the opening paragraph, I was going to assume that the word heckblende was somehow referencing and making fun of the term “hella flush”. Now that I see that it is a legitimate word (although a German loan word) I don’t know how to feel.

Can’t remember where I read it, but there was something floating around about the psychology of rich people continuing to try to bend rules to be even richer.  It speculated that it was an extension of humans’ innate desire to hoard resources ‘just in case’.  You get used to living a certain way and attribute it to a…

A non-sequitur (English: /ˌnɒnˈsɛkwɪtər/; Classical Latin: [noːn ˈsɛkᶣɪtʊr] “it does not follow”) is a conversational and literary device, often used for comedic purposes. It is something said that, because of its apparent lack of meaning relative to what preceded it,^[1] seems absurd to the point of being humorous or…

Also this, I think you hit on something here.  Car salespeople likely make more commission on their upsells than the actual vehicles, so they know that stuff REALLY well.  unfortunate.

Just look at the car market... most salesman doesn’t know shit about how to make a sale to customers that’s actually interested in something. They just sell to sheep...

Agree. Wife’s car is a 2013 Legacy 2.5 with CVT. Does not sound exciting on paper, can be exciting if you know how to take corners. Only real complaint about the CVT: I wish there were a way to “Let it be a CVT” but still easily force a downshift when needed. When I drive the car aggressively, there is a lot of…

Japan only got the Lexus LS as the Lexus LS in the second Bush term.

but then how will the groceries get to you? Maybe somebody could drive them?

And I agree with you 100%, especially this part:

The new Pacifica is awesome. We just used one on a family trip and it was the best thing ever. Foldaway seats allow for great customization in the layout. For the long drive, we took out 2nd row center console and folded down one 2nd row captain’s chair. Toddler in DS captains chair, baby in far back seat on DS.…

Would also make a good seat fabric pattern!

I said it recently on another article, I’ll say it again here.
say ZL1-1LE fast and it sounds like “Zulily”.
Indeed, it needs a more concise and memorable moniker.

Lots of stupid frankenstein projects, but they would just be test mules for My new car company that will take the fight to Koenigsegg.

I’ve been saying for a while, they should have kept the Falcon nameplate and slapped it on a 4-door Mustang. That’s the strategy other OEM’s take (Charger/Challenger for ex.) and Falcon and Mustang originally shared a platform, so the history is already there.
