300 kilometers should do the trick—the distance from New York City to Philadelphia and back

Ford kept that lovely cassette head unit for quite a while longer, I had a 2005 F150 that had one and Google tells me that the last new car available with one was the 2010 Lexus SC430.

It was awfully hot outside which may account for the low numbers.

Why are you again not mentioning that the “bellwether” cases that have gone to court are ones that GM knows they will win. That is why they’ve hand picked them and let them go to court, all the cases that are likely to go against GM are held up in legal loopholes that GM’s lawyers could make last for years. This is…

That lease for a teenager might be $77 a month now but I very much doubt that the car will be able to be turned in without significant penalties for damage and over mileage. Kids hit things and don’t tend to take care of things they are given. The residual they must be assigning that thing is insane if they are doing…

When first reading about this car I got to the Florida part and understood. Seems like you can get a “clean” title for pretty much anything in Florida.

For years I had a corner of the garage dedicated to all the things that broke or were upgraded when autocrossing out WRX. Had a rear differential with roached spider gears, a transmission disassembled to look at the nice shards of first gear, two different sets of coilovers, three different front sway bars, a set of…

Maybe I phrased it wrong. Even if you are trying to accelerate as fast as you can you really can’t in this car because all it does is smoke the tires. I doubt you could even use full throttle on a prepped drag strip until you hit 60 or 70MPH. It has the power but it can’t be used even if you wanted to hence why I’d…

485HP, 245 all season tires. Sounds like an exercise in frustration to me. Even with the optional summer tires it still sounds like a car you can’t use full throttle in for 95% of your driving. It would be less frustrating than trying to put 707HP to the ground on 275s though I guess.

I currently have one of each, Genesis Coupe is up and left and the WRX is down and right. It has never occurred to me that there is a wrong place to put it although the down and left shown in the R8 picture below is what I might call the wrong place since I’ve never had a car like that.

The bugeye WRX was going to be my vote. It is undoubtably ugly, and yet I love it.

When talking about GM winning these cases it should be pointed out that the ones that have gone to trial have so far have been the ones that never should have made it that far. GM is picking and choosing which ones they want to go to trial and win and dragging their feet on the rest. So far we’ve had the mail fraud…

What a shit world we live in when the guy who wasn’t at fault in that wreck thinks he needs to put his hands behind his head just so he doesn’t get shot.

I watched the time delay replay of the men’s synchronized diving last night. If you aren’t impressed by that I don’t think you watched. The Chinese were simply amazing.

I love the description I really do but it seems to describe the 1st gen cars. The 2nd gen ones, the ones we are now losing are a totally different beast and are wonderful. Most people don’t even realize that the 2nd gen cars, 2013-2016, exist and that is a shame because pretty much everything described as being wrong…

If the engines from the 2013 had been in it when it was first introduced the thing would have taken off more I think. That original 3.8 was a bit of a dog, the new one in 2013 is a MUCH better engine than it’s on paper spec bumps would indicate. The original 200HP 2.0 just didn’t have the potential to draw the tuner…

Needs charge pipe. Wait so the turbo isn’t actually hooked up to the intake? I assumed the picture that showed that was an in progress build picture but it sounds like the thing isn’t actually boosted yet.

No tracking, no power save mode, and the system isn’t any more reliable now than it was before they shut down the third party sites. I guess the next thing they’ll remove is the actual Pokémon, after all the game locks up when you catch one about 3 times out of 10 still.

So they’re the Faraday Future of the truck world. They almost certainly have politicians lining up to give them tax breaks the same as FF did. And I bet that the California Teacher’s Union is ready to invest 20% of their pension fund into it as well.

I imagine anyone who had the cash to afford even thinking about buying one will be able to drown their sorrows somehow.
