Probably because kawasaki green fits in so well with all their existing monster energy gear.

Is this really a shocker? I’m 39, which puts me in the Gen X group, and all my friends in and around my age hate all this tech. My coworkers Ford beeps and complains constantly about lane departure and she hates it. My best friend gets annoyed by his Mazda beeping at him when the throws his turn signal on to change…

Family member just recently bought a Rogue. On the way home the Forward Emergency Braking went fucking ballistic in the rain and kept slamming on the brakes, nearly getting us rear ended twice. Called the dealership, they said both the Rogue and Murano do that and we need to clean the sensor under the black plastic V…

Maybe stop airing ads that tell consumers “it’s ok to dick around on your phone, sing with your eyes closed, put on makeup, or whatever the fuck else you want to do because our car will keep you safe!” Because what we need is more shitty, distracted drivers on the road.

I dont know if you live in a city but you will find it will be impossible to keep only manually driving cars without some form of public transit, which is what a well done automatic car will be. It works in unison to improve traffic as a whole. That is the downfall of pure and constant use of manually driven cars.

I do see where you are coming from constar. I think the most satisfactory way forevery one is to make new cars have the option of automatic driving, like cruise control. So when traffic starts really backing up due to human errors you can switch to letting the car drive. And if you are a really good driver you could…

I don’t know what’s more stupid, the crotch rocket kids or the HD/Chopper guys who make their bikes sound like a mufflerless dump truck. Both equally annoying, overly loud and need ticketed day and night.

Also, it’s a Jag. As the owner of an X-Type, I now understand why the British no longer have an empire.

I really doubt that any “kid” is going to end up with one of these. Given the small production numbers, and the msrp markup (my local dealer was lucky enough to get one, and they got $3k over msrp), they’re probably going to end up in the hands of older guys who used to have a riced out civic, and have hopefully…

$80k CTS-V owners are doing the same. Zero muffler on a LS V8. What happened to class?

I “Escaped from NY” at the age of 21 and moved to “the farmland” in upstate NY. I have everything I ever wanted down there at FAR, FAR less the cost. I am in Schenectady, the birthplace of GE

To be fair, I find my newly-acquired Mazda 3 too quiet. After coming from another car with a fart-can, I had to look at the tach to know when to shift! I mentioned to the wife that I need a little more noise and she was like: Nope. You’ve been that neighbor.

It’s a yankee thing. They like to act like they are all smart and edjumecated and that people in the south are just a bunch of rednecks, but the reality is if you go to the rural part of New York and New England for that matter, you’re going to see some redneck racist hillbillies that will put southerners to shame.

I wish I could give you more stars, well said.

To be fair it sounds like he’s really cheating out. I mean $60k is a nice price, but there’s exhausts out there that will make it sound well and not drone for about a grand or so, not $100 at Midas. On the plus side though, at least it’s a V8. You can’t really go wrong with any exhaust mod. What hurts is to see people…

Only needs the two fart pipes. Overdesigned. #ricer

I was at the auto parts store a few months ago, kid pulls up on his crotch rocket motorcycle. Comes inside and buys a cheap-looking chrome exhaust tip. I then notice him trying to fit onto his hack-sawed off exhaust pipe where he cut the whole muffler off right behind the foot peg......

It may not be a popular opinion, but I think this era was “peak car”, especially for me the early 90s. Cars had enough tech to be reliable and fast, like electronic fuel injection, turbos in many cases, disk brakes with ABS, independent suspension, DOHC on almost every engine, and 5 or 6 speed manuals. At the same…

Think Esquire and GQ for cars. Not TMZ for cars (Jalopnik), not The Today Show for cars (Motor Trend), not The Jay Leno Show for cars (Car and Driver, not AARP for cars (the old Automobile), and not The Smithsonian Maagzine for cars (Hemmings).

Not in the link you shared, but Cheif Deputy Randy Christian, who is the spokesman for Jefferson County Sherrif’s department had this to say. (He is knows for being a bit of comedian with his interviews).
“Thank God he couldn’t find second gear, the pursuit could have gotten all the way up to 35 mph,’’ Christian said.
