Quick note:  A “count” of drag is CD = 0.001 in the automotive sector, and CD = 0.0001 in the aerospace sector.

Highly-paid race and automotive photographer. Emphasis on the ‘highly-paid’ part.

She’s simply remarking that the minivan is a possesion of #207SHITBOX, is all.

For anyone on here who hasn’t already, I would highly recommend reading the short story “A Nice Morning Drive”, originally printed in Road & Track in the early 70's. The story inspired the Rush song Red Barchetta.

Starred because Reel Big Fish takes me back quite a few years. They put on a great show with Streetlight Manifesto.

Semi-related to a Ford-called-a-Lightning, but...

Cults and cultists will constantly move goalposts in order to keep the illusion (delusion?) going.

Still play ProStreet from time to time. My wildly turbo lagged R34 GT-R was a hoot to play on road courses. Point-and-shoot.

Amen. Whenever I see a VW Atlas Cross Sport on the road, I scratch my head about why someone would give up cargo functionality... the whole freaking point of buying a big three-row crossover... in exchange for an awkward profile and “Sport” in the name.

As an owner of two green cars over my car-owning career, I am certainly trying to do my part with green car awareness.

No Dice at that price. Get the seller down closer to $6K and it’d be an interesting project car for someone to make right with solid sails, a non-matte paint job, and a better look when the S/C is installed. Interior doesn’t look in awful shape for a car in its 30's.  Go to a junkyard and pick up a parts Fiero to make

And the market dried up due to... financial market calamity and GM killing the original marquee? Hummer sales steadily increased in the 200x’s until... 2008. And, even stalwarts like the CR-V declined in 2009.

I’m with you. It’s a brilliant marketing move by GM (a rare one at that). Take the symbol of American excess, and remove out the one thing that made it such an ostentatious glutton (its engine). People loved Hummers before things fell apart in the mid-aughts. This is giving them what they want, without the guilt or

I love it. It’s big, it’s dumb, it’s garish and it’s a normal looking EV.

Was going to start my own reply then I saw yours ‘cuz i’m right there with you. I haaaaaaaaate these kinds of spoilers. Did Kia run out of design resources and opened up the latest (circa-2003) Jeg’s catalog? I had no idea automakers still made spoilers like this.

Just as long as people don’t tear up the following 1990's hulls to make these things:

Would I want an XT4-V? Hell-to-the-yes. Stick a transverse-mounted version of the CT4-V engine in there and make it standard AWD with the Regal GS AWD system and you’d have a quick little hot-CUV to go up against the SQ5.

Despite being a “car” enthusiast all of my teen-and-adult life, having to wrangle around a toddler has made me appreciate CUVs more. Hatchbacks. A comfortable seating position. Not having to bend over to get the kiddo into the car seat and get its straps all cinched down.
