I’ve always thought the book series with Admiral Thrawn would have made a great movie series, and should have been the basis for the sequel movie trilogy following the original films. What has been produced instead has mostly been disappointing, as every movie so far, (I havent see Rise..”) has been a rehash of the…

Sounds like the 2019 car is the way to go. None of the updates are really worthwhile, especially if the headlights have the same poor rating, and adding more red to the interior just makes the car more juvenile. Spoiler delete would be a great option to have...

N54 Motor car that costs only $4k then figure about an extra 7k in repairs and upkeep. Not only were the high pressure fuel pumps a thing, but also the injectors were prone to failing and you have to replace them in sets of 3 at about $300 per injector. Then you’ve got the electric water pumps that are prone to…

Well instead of 200% focusing on carbon reduction by the woke environmental crowd, we should be also focusing on carbon removal technologies. Most politicians focus only on reduction because that is the easiest most political expedient route (its easier to punish than encourage), and lets face it, todays politicians…

The constant drumbeat of “cars are bad” and “we need to do something about cars” and ignoring the other white elephants in the room makes no sense other than lazy politics. Going to a more plant based diet will also be necessary if we humans are really serious about climate change : https://www.ecowatch.com/which-is-wo…

Was there a point to this post? (I would say article, but that would imply some medium of journalism). I’m off to go grunting because that is what we men do all day, go around acting like neanderthals! 

So what about the other 2/3rds of carbon output? Why is it always cars and nothing else is ever looked into? Is it because our politicians are lazy AF and just going after the low hanging fruit..? Sounds to me if you want to fix the global warming, going after 1/3 of the equation isn’t going to get you very far....

I wouldn’t be surprised if you peeled some layers and looked behind the scenes that one would find that the unions are behind this push to remove the “contract status” to actual employees. The PRC (thats Peoples Republic of Corruptifornia) is ripe with politicians with ties to labor unions. In the end, no matter how…

The PRC’s standards are not necessarily “clearly better” for the planet. There just there for virtue signaling politicians in California who are lazy and want to go after low hanging fruit.

I’ve always felt that modern design requires big wheels to make the car “look right” which is probably why most cars from your basic compacts to family cars, all come with bigger wheels now, which were once the realm of performance cars only. And its not only the impact of comfort and easily damaged wheels, but those…

The point is to highlight every scratch and swirl mark ever known to mankind and generally make the car look like crap 6 months later, unless its followed by a personal detailer everywhere it goes...

Ahh the rotary engine, poor gas mileage, ate oil, no torque to speak of. A combination of the worst worlds between a NA 4 cylinder (no torque) and a 8 cylinder (fuel mileage) all in one engine!

The push to make all cars electric and potentially banning ICE cars entirely saddens me. Especially since it is being pushed mostly to combat climate change. Reality is though (and what the powers that be aren’t telling you), is that you could electrify all the cars on the planet tomorrow and it would still be like…

The point of this was what? Oh wait there was no point. $9900 is not a lot in the realm of running a campaign for an election. Might buy some donuts and coffee...This whole article does absolutely nothing to advance the discussion of how and why these shootings are happening and how to prevent them. This is just…

Why is eliminating government waste or cutting government spending in other non-essential areas, never an option? It’s always some populist BS argument of “Let’s go after the rich people because they have extra money and there’s no way they really earned it anyways”. I’m not necessarily against taxing the rich (i.e.…

I’ve always read that gas starts out as a higher octane and they have to refine it more to get to 87 octane. But then they charge more for “premium” which translates into higher profit margins...this was awhile ago so things could be different now.

Turbo timer for my 91 Eagle Talon Tsi.

Because total electrification will be the end of driving enjoyment ultimately...it will ensure a homogeneous landscape of the car industry with not nearly the diversity of cars before you today. Combine that with automation, and well, whats the point of a forum like this really...Doubt me? See the loss of manual…

I don’t think the manufacturers get that they just need to make it at least AN option. That means if you have to charge for it, then DO THAT at least! Make it a $3000 option, whatever, at least give me that option. Most people, like myself, just don’t want to drive an automatic or flappy pedal box, I don’t care how…

They need to de-tune the looks of the thing. Hopefully that spoiler is optional. The Japanese designers lately look as if they are trying to hard. There is just way too much going on with the new Civic, and its only amplified with this Si and even worse with the Type R. Can’t they just hire the former Audi stylist or…
