I have this on my Camaro, where it’s called Active Dual Exhaust.

Just how “quiet” is it, really?

I think the average person doesn’t get just how large the automotive supply chain really is. The thought is “oh that car is a Ford, it’s made by Ford employees duh”. That’s probably not even a third of it. Jobs add up. I can guarantee that you live within 15-20 miles of a plant that manufactures some automotive part,…

Hey, I don’t disagree with you totally. All your points are rooted in truth. But broad, sweeping generalizations about a group of people based on your exposure to a subset is what ALL motorcyclists have to deal with regularly.

As an almost millennial that is closing in on the big 4-0, I can say with confidence that Harley-Davidson bikes and the whole “culture” that surround it never did and will never be appealing to me.

As an IL resident, a C is a far better grade than we deserve.

The thing killing gas cars is the oil industry itself. It has PR right now that makes the tobacco lobby look like Francis of Assisi. Not just horrible in its own right, but the people who it is in bed with (coughTrumpcoughCoalRollerscoughClimateChangeDenierscough) make it look horrible and no good. People are wanting…

4th Gear: It occured to me over the weekend that Tesla is slowly becoming a Ponzi scheme at this point. They are taking large deposits from people in promises of bringing them product (which they aren’t), needing to meet impossible standards just to bring them said product (which they can’t), while taking more money…

I still doubt it.

I’m not a huge GM fanboi, but have you considered that perhaps they’re not quite as stupid as you seem to think? They’ve built a seriously competitive Hybrid in the second generation Volt, and have become a leader in mainstream EVs with the Bolt (which you can buy right now, as opposed to waiting for the Tesla 3 - and…

“It’s not exactly clear why GM characterized itself like this; Tesla, for instance, started putting autonomous hardware in every vehicle it makes since last October.”

Cash grab - that’s really all this is. I barely made it through the introduction and have questions for whatever lawyer wrote this complaint.

LOL!
Well said. Nobody on the Rubicon did more “building” of their rig than these guys;)

I mean, it was the engineers driving it, so they kinda did build it themselves.

Yup. Blaming “user error” doesn’t fix anything.

All I know is that I avoid American cars whenever possible because they’ll break down at a faster rate than my Japanese and German cars I’ve owned.

No, shitty engineering is why German cars suck. Shitty manufacturing is why American cars suck.

It’s easy to dump on automakers, but what are they supposed to do? They’re building to demand. It’s consumers who are the idiots here.
