What you neglect to mention was that OOIDA’s suit was thrown out not on merits but on procedural grounds (failing to name the EPA in the suit).

That seems like it will absolutely fall afoul of the interstate commerce clause. 

One way to get a slightly larger TV into a sedan is to pull the panel out of the box.

Well, it takes a lot of energy to *accelerate* 2.5 tonnes, which doesn’t happen nearly as much on American roads as on ones in most of the rest of the world.

Once we go to Sodium-Air or Lithium-Air chemistries, with 10x-20x the energy density, we’ll be able to make cars with childishly fun coefficients of drag that still serve reasonably day-to-day. Charge them from home solar, and the inefficiency is basically a lark.

I was about to say that I’d prefer the short wheelbase model, too, but, as a San Franciscan, I’d wager that something like 30% of the country would say that I’m not a true American. 50% of the remainder would like to secede....

“Rough, unfinished, lacking in detail and sophistication.”

Change the horn to a speaker that says "oh yeah" and I'm 100% there for it.

15mph in reverse? How the fuck am I supposed to rip wicked J turns going only 15?!  It's like these guys don't even *want* rampant hooliganism.  What a joke.

I recently hit 123,456 miles (trip at 789.0, since I’m a dork) in my 2002 S2000. Every time I drive something else for a while, I hop back in the S2000 and realize that it’s basically perfect for me, with great ergonomics and very little frippery. It’s also short and has a trunk that can’t be broken into if the center…

Well... Ask yourself this: Do you want to pull vacuous materialistic mini-dress hotties or don gold chains and cruise high schools?

I amost had the opposite experience once, with an Opel Corsa rental. The engine was so rough, and had so little top end power, that I was dead set sure it was a Diesel, as no gas engine this side of a lawnmower could be that rough.

RSV4, Streetfighter V4, Tesi 3D, FTR1200, and you still have money left over to remodel a kitchen....

1. Miata. Always Miata.

Exactly! It’s th exactly correct SUV for most of what SUVs get used for:

You’d better believe that I’d aim for those cars every chance I got.

The real joy is figuring out that “Ioniq” means “battery powered drive somewhere in the picture”, one of the least coherent brand distinctions ever.

Dear Porsche,

Quad Lock...

That said, if you load thinks sideways or at a slight angle, it greatly reduces pooling.
