US consumers: haven’t had a meaningful raise in decades.

In many places, the parking strip is city property, and so is the sidewalk. However, parking on the sidewalk is a ticket (ask me how I know, $42, and there was only about 6" of blockage). You could definitely press theft charges on the electricity though.

Nah. Just go to the basement, flip the circuit breaker off for that exterior outlet, and leave the car unbothered. They’ll come back wondering “why isn’t the car charging!” 

Depending on the local laws, towing a car without attempting to find out who owns it can get you charged with theft.

C3: Okay, folks, thank you all for gathering today. We called this emergency meeting to discuss the overwhelming press coverage of the new C8 and what must be done to divert attention away from it.

Three on the tree, amirightpeople?

This is the sort of crazy shit I would have loved to ask my grandfather about. He lived not too far from that location and actually worked at the Fisher Euclid plant (made body panels for various GM cars from 1950-1970, then converted to making interior parts and trim) back when these would have been brand new off the…

GM was trying to see if they plant it, hopefully more will grow.

I believe that CUVpocalypse is happening in large part due to the United State’s horrendous infrastructure. If the roads were smooth but people wanted room and function, we’d all be buying wagons like Europe. BUT NO. We have to navigate through massive craters and asphalt heaving the side of logs. Americans NEED CUVs…

Crossovers are the new minivan

This is the problem with Ford ( I know, only 1?) Why do they have so many performance badges. BMW only has one, even though it has muddied up a bit with the M-Sport. Why not just the ST? Why the SHO, ST, RS, SVT, GT350, GT500 (which I am guessing is 150 better than the GT350). How about rolling them all together.…

Just picture a Ford Excursion RS!

“But Europe won’t be so unlucky. Ford UK boss Andy Barratt told Autocar that the company won’t bring ST-badged SUVs to Europe because of demand the fact that Europeans are better at acknowledging what they actually need and aren’t socially guided lemmings with no interest in driving. Also, fuel prices.” 

The Explorer shares a platform with the Taurus. A performance Explorer should be an Explorer SHO.

I’ve driven manuals since my second car (1984 Mazda B2000). My first car was a 1977 Grand Prix (400 V8, but a slushbox). After the B2000, the timeline goes: 84 Supra/wife’s 84 RX7 > 97 Ranger/wife’s 97 Eclipse GS > 00 Protegé x2. These were all manuals. Then I had kids and sacrificed my third pedal for a series of…

OK, you have all my well wishes and good luck. Now, some advice: come off that clutch slow. My guess is that the Camaro is going to have a bit of a tight clutch and a smaller sweet spot. At first, you’re going to want to ease off that clutch even slower than you think you should. Another thing: the first few times you…

It’s a manual, diesel, 4X4 pickup with non-terrible fuel economy. That is very much my jam.

Don't you just wanna get lost in the Rock and Roll and Drift away:

You just can't handle all the awesomeness!
