I think that the American domestic scene was, to the enthusiast, lagging behind in performance and value from the late 80s to around now, that a lot of the attention was given to imports, like you said. The disappearance of RWD was only bemoaned as FWD became more and more common. There are definitely good cars that…

My opinion as a veteran of desert storm and a 4 time bronze star recipient that I might look stupid n my hummer but unlike some people I have earned my right to drive my hummer. I just don't like to look like a man bitch in my cube and g wagon because I dont want people to know im a stay at home house maid and afraid…

I wholeheartedly agree. I am just sick of people using the points you brought up to rationalize reasons to continue using oil based fuels. Sorry I came across so aggressive.

Manuals that get better MPG than autos, as a rule, doesn't hold true for a lot of new cars.

That means 61% of a full charge is *NOT* coming from coal. A gasoline engine is only about 30% efficient, as is a coal plant. Are you saying it's better to have many millions of 30% efficient gas engines, creating nothing but heat and waste gases, rather than a few coal plants doing the same? Don't forget gasoline…

The EPA test is horrible for manual transmissions. It specifies shift points, and vehicle speed, if you know your car, and know when to short shift and cruise in a much higher gear, you can beat the EPA estimates.

No Camaro Z/28? I'd say that's a 911 beater.

Has everyone just forgot about Zero Motorcycles? The ZERO S ZF12.5 has a combined (50% stop and go, 50% 70 MPH highway) rating of 102 miles, and an MSRP of $15,345. Step up one more level and for $17,840 you get 125 miles. This is significantly under the $25,000 price point HD is aiming for.

"many thought it would make conventional warfare irrelevant in the future"

What's the top speed the Mustang got on that overpass?

It's a good thing that over the past 100 years, we have enough data to see a clear precedence to judge these events on. As someone that subscribes to the scientific method, I'm glad that I don't have to rely on data from my experience, and I can look at the great quantities we have gathered from other places to graph…

If I could afford to buy a new car, I would consider one of these really hard.

"She's on the rotor! She's on the rotor!"

When it comes to certification on a level like this, I wouldn't be surprised if each person was paid quite well for the day, the insurance will have paid for the broken leg, and the company that oversees the certification came out six to seven digits in the black.

They revised the design to manufacture the out-of-spec material, so that is the new design that will have to pass the new safety standards. Imagine if an automaker redesigned something like an ignition, and it started failing. Could they use the excuse that their first design (not in production anymore) passed, so the…

"Well-healed" should be changed to "well heeled"

Yet, people seem to go 75-80 on it all the time!

Yeah, it's just a harness.
