Nah, he's got a Lada, like everyone else. 

Judge Dredd was my first thought, as well.  Batman may not be above the law, but Dredd on a lawbringer bike IS THE LAW! 

Wouldn't meet Russian roadworthiness restrictions?!?  Have you seen some of the cars they let on the road over there?  Let alone the trucks? 

They were being facetious.  You're not arguing the opposite point, you're just agreeing with them.

Tell that to the repo guys. 

“fine-tuned valves and intake ports" is a phrase which fills me with dread, for some reason.  Makes it sound like they'll be incredibly finicky

Ford *could* just grab 10 random guys off the line and they'd be able to tell them every single part that doesn't fit right, wasn't at the chain on time and had to get stuck on later(once it's a lot harder to do it properly), and whst parts have been showing up janky from day one.  Algorithms, my rear.  80% of quality…

Ford is screwed, and GM and other aren’t far behind. SUVs aren’t going to stay as popular as they are, gas isn’t going to stay as cheap as it is, their pet mpg loophole isn’t going to stay open forever, and EVs aren’t going to be the second coming that they are currently shredding their lineup and hoping to buy enough…

Well, rebadged is really quite a but of hyperbole on my part. I believe the original development of the tiguan was pulled from skoda’s parts bin, though.

An easier solution is to drive like the ground is covered in ice and snow outside. Same goes with torrential rain. Don’t run it up to 85 in these conditions while maintaining a 3 foot separation to the car ahead of you, and you’ll likely be fine.

I want to know why they won’t let the US have Skoda, instead of rebadging a few Skodas as vws and then charging an extra 75% on the tag for it.

I think the main problem is that your definition of “mud pit” is what the rest of the world calls a pond.

Because the 70s emissions boom and gas crisis were the most miserable shit to ever happen to gearheads. 

When your car is 50% glass, the world is your backup camera

I absolutely adore AMCs.  If this was a late 70s electric change of Pacer, or had a pre-emissions amx 390 stuffed into it, I'd be all in, rust and all.  Make the quirky quirkier. 

This is clearly the Driver's Ed edition, whst with the secondary controls in the second row.  Good on them for including not just pedals, but even a steering column!  Leg room is probably rough right behind the driver though. 

It's true that there's a lot to be said for long term testing.  Although, being able to touch up the car doesn't mean a manufacturer is going to bother.  I'm pretty sure we've all known for like 80 years that Alfa couldn't care less if their workers used bolts, masking tape, or wood glue to attach parts in any case. …

Well, I like it better than the Shelby charger for 7+k I just saw on my news feed, but 6k and 300k is a form of math that will never balance out in my head. 

I'm betting that accessory beam will soon be known far and wide as "The Castrator" 

Literally any other rear would look better than a modern civic
