I’d rather just buy 10-15 acres and stick a garage with some lifts and a small office space on it. My wife wants the extra land, I need a place to go when she finds how much my turbo kit cost me... Win win?

Hopefully Ford sticks to making this at least till end of next year.

We still need a new Mazdaspeed 3.

That’s not even close to being true. Most new cars have cruise control now. Certainly everything above a Golf. A Golf even has adaptive cruise control as standard. I’ve owned 8 cars in the UK, only 1 didn’t have it.

Because it is the cool thing on Jalopnik to hate on current BMW’s. Even though BMW is one of the few companies to still offer manual transmissions on a good portion of their line up and a buttery smooth inline turbo engine. The people that hate the on the current M cars probably have never driven one and probably…

Does it actually drive well in the snow ???

Here in the Commonwealth of MA (yeah, we’re not a “state” technically, but a “commonwealth”) it is illegal - like may other places - for the dealers to put any non-factory badges on a new car without the owner’s consent - this is mostly aimed at the dealer badges you see on almost every car (and this law should also…

Here we are, I was thinking of this TTAC article where Jack Baruth was complaining about dealers. It’s a big long winded piece and a huge argument in the comments. But what relates to the article is the following section. Note that Jack Baruth apparently worked as a car salesman when younger. ( I know the quote is…

you’ve let me, nay America down with this statement. Buy some snow tires and actually DD it. Give the people what they want.

Most surprising part of the headline.

You did this on the Summer tires? Godspeed, my friend. Godspeed.

Don’t Believe What Big Car Blog Tells You

I now feel like my rx8 has near minivan capabilities as I can carry two kids under 5 and was even able to fit a stroller in the trunk! Its practically a minivan!

I scrolled down far enough to make sure someone posted this. You have not disappointed me.

This is really a great visual device for showing something people don’t think about often enough. If you live in an area that gets winter weather, your best bet is always to race against an automotive journalist on a tricycle, because he’ll be out of breath after two laps.

It is a bit shocking, but it all comes down to production numbers. E36 and E46 Ms were a dime a dozen compared to the Z3 M Coupe.

So very true. Every time I get into the Focus after my wife, I’m like, “HOLY SHIT! WERE FUCKING CIRCUS MIDGETS DRIVING THIS THING? ARE YOU RIDE-SHARING THIS CAR WITH LITTLE PEOPLE WHILE YOU’RE AT WORK TO MAKE EXTRA MONEY?!” It’s terrible. Not to mention I hate pop radio.

That was close.

I don’t know which is sadder...that Doug DeMuro has video/photographic evidence of himself fisting a Dodge Hellcat, or that I spent part of my lunch seeing Doug DeMuro fist a Dodge Hellcat. At least he likes the headlight airscoop. And props for admitting its too much car for him. A lot of people aren’t always willing…

At least the Aston has a warning sound for that. Happens on a BMW, your into the next lane and over the divider before you know it.
