Fine. The Real Top Gear (TM) has moved on to Amazon. I’m looking forward to it. But the BBC is going to put together another, similar automotive show and I think it’s reasonable to assume that many Top Gear fans would be interested in both.

Thank you for sharing the thoughts of a person with no honor.

They could save money and just put one button labelled 0-9

Yep. “As-is” means the dead cat was part of the deal.

A VW is my go-to example of a car that you should only lease, because you never want to own those problems.

As amused as I am by Trump, the real effect of his “candidacy” will be to make some of the other candidates who would normally be laughingstocks seem like serious, legitimate contenders. Instead of people questions. Christie, Cruz, Bush, Huckabee, Jindal, Walker, Graham, and Fiorina are all being taken seriously…

First of all, Trump is not a brilliant businessman. He’s a blowhard and a more of a showman than a clever dealmaker. He’s declared bankruptcy four times. Most of the buildings, golf courses, etc. with the Trump name on them are merely licensing the name - he’s a celebrity, so the name is worth something. But he…

Really? I dunno, man, that stuff just doesn’t bother me. I guess we’ve all got different issues, though.

You don’t like overtime?

“Gutless” and “chickenshit”? Maybe it’s not cowardice. Maybe they just really don’t enjoy wasting their time over bullshit with some fucking salesperson. There are are plenty of things I don’t like that I pay others to do for me - I’m not a fan of cleaning my bathrooms, so I pay someone else to do it for me. And some…

How many rods does your car get to the hogshead?

As far as this goes, I think zero is okay. What does it have to do with Texas’ stance on Tesla? There’s not any legal requirement that franchised dealers must provide repair facilities, is there? This has nothing to do with consumer protection. It is entirely about protecting the interests of middlemen in a largely…

There are some folks out there who use hipster to mean “Anyone who does anything I dislike”. I don’t like it when people strip words of meaning like this.

5000k is a pretty blue white point.

If you need to shave weight enough that you’re putting on a CF hood, then you shouldn’t have a back seat, glass windows, or an AC. In almost all cases, CF on a car that isn’t legit competitive is just poseur decoration.

Encouraging readers of a gearhead site to evaluate cars on a cost per mile basis. Do foodie websites tell their readers how to get the most calories for their dollar?

Good catch. I just assumed, given their problems this year, that it hadn’t happened. But still, they’re freakin’ Maclaren and it’s only happened once this year. Maclaren!

They missed a spot.

Maybe Honda can carry the dream of both cars actually finishing a race.

Absolutely. Of course, Chevy isn’t having that debate and they aren’t offering those modern steels. All they’re doing is fear-mongering to the part of the truck audience that doesn’t know better.
