Far into the future, when the auto world finally fixes all of its EV glitching, I’ll be speeding off into the sunset in my ICE ICE Baby playing Rush’s “Red Barchetta” as I commit my weekly crime....

This now makes perfect sense. Kia’s are like belly buttons here in Canada - they are practically everywhere. However, when I look at their published sales numbers compared to the competition, they appear to be way down on the pecking order of manufacturer’s.

It may be silly, but this Boomer misses these guys...

Holding out for the Caddy’s C8 derivative: the Cadillac Plastiq Fantastiq.

The fact that both occupants were pinned under the

“The most significant car in history”. It’s kind of an open ended statement. Depends how you want to interpret it.

First question to the driver: were you operating the vehicle in One Pedal Mode?

And before Hamilton, Micheal Schumacher.

The problem with NASCAR is NASCAR. NASCAR used to be like F1 is today. The guy with the best car would basically run circles around the rest of the field, but most of you are too young to remember Richard Petty back in the 60's. NASCAR does everything they can to even up the competition and the result is two trains of

This is the most accurate explanation regarding pedal misapplication phenomenon, which almost lead to Audi’s demise back in the 80’s. This is how we got the brake transmission shift interlock requirement that is mandatory on all vehicles today equipped with an automatic transmission.  Sadly, pedal misapplication occur
