Funny, our local Mazda dealer had a huge mix of new and used MX-5’s (both in hard and soft tops) on his lot all summer.  The display never went down in size, which was unusual.  I’d venture to guess it was a mix of less disposable income than our neighbour’s to the south and a shorter summer drive season.  I still

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.

Or a GM Dealer if a Tesla Dealer isn’t nearby.  https://www.carscoops.com/2022/11/gm-has-been-quietly-repairing-teslas-with-great-success-but-how-does-it-work/

Ditto. I spend more time in my 124 than my C7. It’s great with the top down, easy to drive and park and gets way better fuel economy. Not to mention, it’s the best manual transmission I’ve ever owned.

My wife and I were driving down a two lane road and I brought up the question “what would you do if I ever became incapacitated behind the wheel, and my foot came to rest on the accelerator pedal, causing the vehicle to accelerate”? Here response, what should I do? I responded that she should push the shift lever to

A long time ago, they used to refer to this faction as “Dixiecrats”. They weren’t even Republicans. With no support or sympathy from Carter after helping to elect him, they were welcomed on board Reagan’s train and have not looked back.

Crash event data from the vehicle’s ACM will tell a proper story. If the vehicle’s brake rotors are blue, then it could be a case of a pinned accelerator pedal, although I did not see any smoke emanating from a from the wheel wells as the car blew by the camera. 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.

Rivian: 167% sale increase => 167% increase in losses.

Those of us old enough to know the ‘70's movie “The Car” can see that the inspiration for this monstrosity came from; George Barris’ Lincoln creation as the possessed vehicle for the movie.

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
