“Thousands” implies multiples of a thousand. Meaning at least 2. Meaning the cars you are talking about have to weigh, AT MOST 2800 lbs (given the Model S Plaid’s weight at 4800 lbs).

Thing is, the pro-mod class requires a minimum weight of 2650 lbs (for turbo cars, which tend to dominate). Those cars are running 5's…

It really amazes me how many internet peoples seem to be NBA sized when Miatas are mentioned.

Especially impressive given ~70% of all men in this country are shorter than me, and I fit just fine in one...

How did no one mention this gem from Audi?

Chevy/GMC C10. They’re plentiful, relatively cheap, there’s huge aftermarket/restoration parts support for them, and they’re ridiculously easy to work on.  AND, as a bonus, if you manage to get it in decent shape, you’ll have something that still carries a bit of value to recoup your expenses.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. I fit 4 people in the back seat of my 3rd gen. Two of them were at least 6'2. The other two were at least 5'6. Oh and there were two people in the passenger seat - 6'4 and 5'4.

...actually, come to think of it, that was not a fun drive. Still better than getting shot at, but do…

“Yes, I’m selling one of my most reliable cars, and Land Cruiser owners out there have been giving me grief for it. But this SUV gets 13 MPG, has a boring four-speed automatic paired to an underpowered (for this thing’s absurd weight) 4.7-liter V8 motor, and is just too big to be a real off-road beast. It’s gotta go.”

H…

Ah, got it. Carry on.

Dammit Torch...

“while the total number of Pontiac GTOs of the second generation, between 1967 and 1970,”

I have no idea where you got that there was a generation between 1967 and 1970, but that is not correct. The major platform changes for GM A-bodies was 1964-1967 and 1968-1972. Within those, styling changes for the…

“he’s already receiving death threats for the changes”

The fuck is wrong with people? Seriously? Its a fucking car. If your life is made so horrible by a car no longer burning dinosaur goo, consider yourself lucky to have no real problems in life.

...a manufacturer isn’t a leech. They’re literally offering you the product you want...

The dealership, on the other hand. says “Hey, look at all the work that guy did...I’ll sell it to you for my own profit!”

Yes. Pretty sure I made that clear when I said “those actually responsible for the product”.

There is no defense of billionaires in my post. Elon can go fuck himself. He’s nothing more than a dealership in human form. Full of bullshit, profiting off the work of others, without actually adding any real value to the world.

I don’t find bad information to be entertaining...but I guess that’s how we get people taking fucking horse dewormer instead of vaccines.

No, direct sales just cut the useless (and I do mean utterly fucking useless) middleman out of the equation. Much better for the profits to go to those actually responsible for the product rather than some fucking leech.

...the fact that this is an over dramatized “documentary” should peg your BS meter. Sorry bud, I got about 3 minutes in before mine broke from that crap.

Choose better sources:

A full face helmet is better than a 3/4 is better than a half. No idea why you think the speed you are riding has any impact how much protection a full face helmet has over a 3/4 or half, but rest assured, if you slide on your face at 20 mph, the full face is the best option. DOT is the only real regulation your…

As someone who is not remotely a fanboi of either Civics or Integras...my first thought in seeing this thing was “that looks exactly like a Civic with an Acura nose”. Raphael appears to have specifically chosen certain angles and lots of close up views in this article to avoid that conclusion - but its blatantly…

Best option for who? You want to put poor people in a fucking slum in prime wildfire areas that are hours away from where they work? Certainly not better for those people.

No, the best option would be for the people of Santa Monica to have to do all of the jobs that don’t pay well enough to live there. Guarantee they…

...this is ridiculously out of touch with the reality of California. It’s all* prime real estate. The people living in “affordable areas” would have to live literally hours away from where they work. Add to that, the same people protesting affordable housing don’t want mass transit bringing poor folk to their town…

I did. Shame you can’t keep up.
