I still think the TDi crowd will be feircely loyal if they retain their fuel economy. I’ve not talked to a single TDi owner yet who is upset about emissions output...none of them ever talk about clean diesel. These cars were purchased on dollars and cents not flowers and feel goods. My mom actually did the math and…

The only thing dirtier than the air that comes out of a VW diesel in China is the air that goes into a VW diesel in China.

For their hot hatch needs, Ford, probably. For everything else, I’m shocked Subaru isn’t on that list.

Sorry, it is shallow to not want to be seen in a specific car for image reasons. Preferring a specific type of car over another is normal, not showing your face in public because of it is superficial and petty.

Seriously, your wife is that caught up in herself where she thinks people are judging her because you drive a lowly Focus? Yep, you’ll fit right in with the Porsche crowd.

That she doesn’t like the Recaro seats is something I can understand, even if I don’t agree. But why doesn’t she want to be seen in a Focus? Is it a stock ST, or does it have wings or other modifications that might not been seen as tasteful? If it’s stock this sounds a bit, well, shallow.

Get off the middle east oil. Look it up we only get 12%. And if the current administration would get off its hi horse it could be zero.

Interesting demo but a stationary car is not going to generate 6KJ of energy during braking. All the silly LED lit wiring just shows how staged this was.

I really like how everyone is cheering like he just did something completely amazing, when we all know that car wasn’t even running in that small room. Cause you know...race cars are really loud.

My relationship with an FD RX-7 lasted seven years and about as many have passed since we parted ways. While there are a lot of lessons, stories, experiences, days of love, and nights of loathing to be shared from this period in my life; none are as important for the well-being of RX7’s everywhere than this one. Mazda…

Yeah, the money from gas is used to pay for NJ roads. That’s why they’re so fucking terrible.

I realize there’s a movie and all but, no Jim Lovell? He did bring it back manually, not to mention keeping himself and his crew sane while they were freezing to death all while breathing less and less oxygen. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting him, he is definitely my favorite “famous” person I’ve met.

I completely agree with your choices of Ed White, Gordo Cooper, Neil Armstrong (“I gotta cage my eyeballs!”), and — I’m pleasantly surprised! — John Aaron. “SCE to AUX!”
