Or as subaru/toyota found with the BRZ/whatever, if you spec hard eco friendly tires on a RWD sportscar, you get sooooo much more drama- apparently when spec’d with the tires off a prius, the BRZ is all skids and drifts all the time.

15 years ago in cycling, the only tires you would be caught dead with on a road bike were 23mm, pumped up to 120+PSI. This was just how it was done. And people would argue ad nauseam that the 23s were faster and handled better and anyway they have to be better because that’s what the pros ride and the pros only ride…

I loved how the Bugatti Veyron had a special key you needed to insert to literally unlock the full performance.

‘splain your need. You need 500hp in city traffic why? You need 500hp on the freeway why?

It’s the same as the “I should be able to own a tactical nuke for home defense because freedom” argument.

Because despite what you’ve absorbed from years of Top Gear, unless you have your own private racetrack where you can actually use a 600hp car, driving with that many hp sucks. HP is like hops in beer- it doesn’t make a better product unless the people who are adding it know exactly what they’re doing, and more often…

Best editing but definitely not best continuity.

It’s a green mustang that does nothing to advance the plot. It’s just the car that Bullitt drives. It is in no way special or deserving of special bullitt edition models or anything else. It is hyped way beyond it’s actual value to the film itself.

Honestly, I’m OK with it.

First, you need to invest in ways to get people around that don’t require driving a single car. If you intentionally double gas prices overnight you’d have a revolution a week later. But if you wean people off cars, get them to see the benefits of not driving, incentivize businesses to encourage work from home where…

EVs are great, but if you just use them to replace ICE vehicles 1:1, it’s not going to do much.

So, I know this is a car site and all but, Who the fuck needs a car with 500 hp? Why is something like this available from the factory, for sale to normal idiots who have enough money to buy one but nothing else that says they’re capable of handling a car with this much power?

to be fair, the delorean did have style... I mean it’s pretty much ALL it had but yeah, I’d give them that one.

The Mustang from Bullitt. The movie is awful* but the iconic car chase is just... bad. It’s like the much-mocked fight scene in “They Live” in that it goes on WAY too long. And in the end, it’s really just wedged, does little to advance the plot, it’s clearly there because the star wanted it.

*Yes, I’ve seen it. I…

I note that that’s the only thing you found fault with though.

Love my hitch rack but as you say, not so great for canoes.

OK, now try carrying 2 canoes on those wee little things. Or mounting the hardware that works on your roundbar rack. The built in racks are less than ideal for anything more than small loads. Love my outback but these racks are not great.

The hoosier state. Indiana.

Except for the rack. I cannot overstate how much of a pain in the ass that rack is if you canoe or kayak or try to carry more than a paddleboard on the roof of your outback. That rack is what stands between me and another outback- I will gladly buy another Subaru but it will be a forester.
