I realize the scrutiny is targeting the company, but let’s remember their primary clientele are people with bad credit. Circumstances will vary as to why people wound up with low credit scores—and some percentage of low credit folk are there because they made bad decisions (as opposed to the responsible people who had…

Golly gee...the awful deed of objectifying members of the female species must be stopped. Eliminating Grid Girls and pro sports cheerleaders is certainly a start, but this type of activism must be extended in order for it to maintain its purest sense. College cheerleaders. High School cheerleaders. Baton twirlers.…

In the 1980's, I was a teenager with a driver’s license and no car. One of my buddies had a new yellow IROC Z. He loved the car so much that when he wanted to drink a beer while cruising, he outsourced the driving to lucky me. T-tops off, cruising in the summer, & pretending I owned the car, it became easy meeting…

It is a sign of maturity...sort of. Daily driving a powerful sports car/muscle car grants the driver with the frequent dilemma of deciding between responsible driving behavior and giving into speedy temptation. I’m a maniac in my 2015 Mustang GT. I started shopping this weekend for a replacement. The new Camry 4-cyl…

Hope it is offered with a diesel. Tired of waiting on Toyota to equip the Taco with a diesel. Refuse to buy a Chevy Colorado. I’ll settle for a Ford Ranger diesel.

I fail to recognize his response as “a dumb thing” since all he did was clarify for the kid that dresses aren’t for boys. Gender specific clothing is a cultural norm, no matter how many times the current trend of post-modern political correctness tells us that cultural norms are now somehow offensive. For people to…

My CoTA experiences were a bit different than yours. For the past several years, I photographed WEC pre-race festivities for a magazine (CoTA utilizes grid girls for WEC). I captured moments of entire families posing with grid girls next to cars. I didn’t encounter any men behaving inappropriately. It seems that…

Meanwhile, I’m contemplating replacing my 435 HP muscle car with something in the 700+ HP. After reading this op-ed piece, am wondering if maybe I should feel guilty and just get a minivan.

Is the governor completely ignorant of Cali car culture?

Pretty sure it is a legit question. Selective outrage is problematic, especially in news media and political talking heads.

Buyers/owners of performance cars seem to prefer the performance branding designation. It helps the car stand out from its lower-powered siblings, makes the owner feel special, and creates envy for people who don’t own a performance car. That’s just how it is. Genesis CEO needs to reconsider.

Interesting read. I feel sorry for him in this situation. His wanting to sell the cars for what he thinks they are worth vs what people are willing to spend is of course the classic case of cognitive dissonance between buyer and seller of older vehicles.

I really need this truck. Why? Not sure I can explain it. Give me a year in one and I’m certain I’ll be inspired to put into text the very emotions that are creating the longing for the Raptor now.

Valid point. I remember that story and the reactions. I also see the resemblance to current situations where vehicle occupants wind up in caught in the midst of violent protests. It is a recipe for a tragic result.

I know people who do this with Land Cruisers. Buy ‘em for cheap, then market the heck out of ‘em on social media and sell for more than double.

Her charges should have been higher. That was plain criminal mischief on her part.

Superb journalism on display. Thanks, Ryan.

I wondered if there was some legality to it, but the guy was smart about his orders..he ordered 3 of the drinks separately from the 3 FAs.

It was 1998, I was younger and in shape. Drunk-as-a-skunk passenger across the aisle from me on our Southwest Airlines flight from DFW to San Antonio was annoying the kajeebees out of the 2 passengers to his left...he had the aisle seat. While the flight was only 50 min, he managed to consume 5 mixed drinks. Did I…

This is great news.
