Of course gas gets cheap when I finally get a more fuel efficient daily driver and my premium swilling 440 Dart is down for a drivetrain refresh this winter.

Please someone explain why GM doesn't bring these state side? The market here is ready I think. All they have to do is price them right. Does it not fit into a long term strategy or something?

The "MPG needle" on BMWs is dubious at best. It's just calculating throttle angle versus speed and giving an estimated efficiency, hardly scientific. At highway speeds the vast majority of friction is due to drag. Seeing the equation for drag is typically easier than explaining in words:

I think a Corvette can handle being accelerated to 50mph.

50? That's nothing that the owner didn't do a few times on the way there. He didn't hit anything, there's no harm to the car. I don't see a problem.

This.

Does a GT-R speedometer not read in MPH? What does it read in, tears of the unborn? What a dumb excuse for speeding.

or just drive the speed limit

FYI insurance is done through a specialty insurance company that only handles collector policies. It was only $1,700 per year — about half of what I spend for my daily driver. The $3k expense is because I initially insured it through State Farm, who wanted $500/mo. Knowing what I know now, obviously I would've signed…

I guess that after about a hundred miles you could reverse the rear tires and wear out the other side.

Something tells me that once the driver started honking the protestors went after the car, trying to break windows and destroy paint. Once that shit happens all bets are off. Mow down as many motherfuckers as possible. If you threaten my life or the life of my family members you better believe it that I will mow down…

Too bad the photos are of two different cars. Only one of which is an actual convertible.

If VW can't make cars with power windows that won't fail after 2 years I can't imagine what's basically a fancy VW full-o-electronics will be like in the same time period.

Awesome, more multi-function screens and no dedicated buttons. I've said it before, when there are no dedicated buttons or even tactile feedback on the touch screen, a driver will be required to take their eyes off of the road to adjust secondary controls.

This is still my favourite sleeper

He obviously doesn't consider it wasted money. And it's his money. And you probably drive a Corolla. And you're boring.

Difference being is that there are losses when converting one form of energy into another. Using electricity to make hydrogen, than using that hydrogen to power a car is less efficient than just using the electricity to power it in the first place.

At least let the body cool off before making a joke. Way too soon.

I know competition, demand and feature creep create these shitty iphones-upon-dashboard, but honestly I can't think of a time when I've enjoyed or needed such a system. When I'm back with my ancient Mazda 5 and its 2 giant radio knobs, all is right with the world. You know what I want?
