Most likely a BHPH lot that doesn’t release the title to you until you pay off the absolutely absurd amount ($6k for an 18 year old Taurus is larceny!).

This is just theft, followed by sale of stolen goods.  The dealership owner ought to be sitting in a prison cell by now.  

I agree. The ‘22 rules worked as intended, even with the expectation that engineers will claw back some of the benefit with clever aero. A single team dominating has been the rule rather than the exception going back decades, regardless of the regulations

The entire point of the 2022 rule set was to decrease dirty air off the back of the car, so that the following car would not lose downforce in the corners, thus facilitating closer racing and easier passing. As far as I’ve heard everyone was in agreement that the ground effects cars had achieved this goal.

Classic GM parts bin engineering. I’ll use the Saturn Sky as an example:

What is it with everyone mentioning cars that share platforms share parts? That is the whole point of platform sharing.....

It feels like Subaru’s been mailing it in across their whole lineup for a good decade now, if not longer. But it’s particularly pronounced with the WRX, a vehicle that was once fun, appealing, and extremely tunable. They’re like a slightly less shitty Nissan.

Yeah, my STI averages about 20mpg on 93 octane. It’s kind of embarrassing for a compact to drink fuel like a full-size truck. Current WRX is a bit better, but still worst MPG in its class. Kind of funny for a brand that tries to sell itself as environmentalist and outdoorsy.

I can’t get over how Subaru’s line-up is so marginal with MPGs (and I own an Outback!).

I kind of thought I’d be seeing Santa Cruz everywhere in my area, but I’ve only ever seen a couple. On the other hand the Maverick is everywhere now.

This truck’s actual utility is informing those around you that you are a d-bag. 

all cars are too expensive. they’ve gotten too big, too fast, too slow to stop, all adds up; too expenses. Miatas are still at the bottom of the price sheet, but they rise with the sea. 25 year old KEI vans are selling higher than MSRP, and thats not the clean ones.

Less.

So I can't know anything about motorsport tech because I don't want to be a racer? 

Maybe a better preparation would have been go-kart racing. It’s surprisingly physical (considering how tiny the go-kart is)

While this is true, SHR’s demise also has to do with their owners just not really caring about it anymore at the level needed to be successful. Haas has never been all that interested in NASCAR to begin with. Stewart was for a time obviously was, but is way more devoted to NHRA right now. And before that, he was…

A town in New Hampshire did that (at least the libertarian part). Then the bears took over. Grafton, New Hampshire is one of my favorite FAFO stories. 

“I’m sorry officer, I was on my way to Assholeville in the republican of Dumbfuckistan and wasn’t aware that the concept of “laws” applied to me.”

I’d love to see them band together and attempt their own utopian paradise of libertarianism and anarchy. Let’s give ‘em Oklahoma, then put an enormous fence around it.

Until big portions of this country stop taking pride in being big fucking assholes, we’re all in trouble.
