15,000 RPM... is that up from the last 4 years? I can’t remember.

Man, if I won this car at auction, I’d have to ask Sir Elton John to sign the dashboard. I love this car, it looks great and handles like crap. And what did Aston Martin/Ford cheap out on? The steering wheel. The one thing you see more in a car than anything else. It looks like it was literally taken off the Taurus…

I USE THEM! I USE THEM! I’m a mid-thirties pre-millennial, so I was told what they’re for when I was a kid... in those analog days. Never for parking, though (fear of a drained battery keeps me from doing that too), but when driving around at dusk or dawn. I have a 2011 Mustang, which doesn’t have DRL’s, and the front…

I was 9 years old in 1992, and a Cub Scout with a Boy’s Life subscription. There was one issue where they had a picture of a speed skier on the cover, and the crazy helmet made me remember it.

Who am I, as a person? Don’t worry about who I am, as a person. But I would get this car, for one reason only. And it’s not a practical reason, either. And I’m a pretty practical person (I’m an engineer). I would get this car solely because Lincoln finally came out with a proper Continental. They haven’t made one (a…

Ah, the 90’s... Alan Greenspan could do no wrong, and surely, no one would try to attack the World Trade Center again. The naïveté was strong. Cars were lame, especially American cars. I never had any respect for the Monte Carlos. To me, it was GM selling a pseudo-sports-car to ignorant non-enthusiasts who wanted to…

Man, that car’s purty.

My favorite fact about Dan Gurney was that he was the first person to spray champagne in a gesture of victory (in 1967, at Le Mans). Can you imagine how upset those conservative Frenchies were seeing their champagne sprayed in the air and landing on the dirty ground?? These days, it’s impossible to imagine a podium…

I have a picture in my mind of who the buyer of this new Avalon is. White (duh), male, middle-aged, resides in the suburbs of Chicago, and has a wardrobe made up mostly of pleated khakis. A Lexus is just too “aggressive”, so he’ll go with this. Amiright?

As soon as I saw it on Autotrader at Griffin Ford in Waukesha, Wisconsin, I knew that the 2011 V6 Mustang, with the 3.7 Duratec engine (305 bhp), manual transmission, and candy apple red paint was the perfect car. So I bought it. Thanks, Mike, for confirming.

One thing that Aurora can keep in mind to make this whole process a little easier, is that when some idiot is mansplaining things to her even though he finished 5 places behind her, is that he’s already really insecure and just over compensating for his swollen ego. She shouldn’t feel intimidated at all. It would be…

More importantly, what were those dudes driving? And drug test that truck driver! I bet he was totally clean.

Where to start...

This conversation is about a pointless topic. If F1 cars are subjectively pretty or ugly, it’s inherent. F1 designers and engineers put aesthetics at the bottom of their priority list. We all know that Priority #1 is to“get around the track faster than everyone else”, followed, probably, by safety.

This guy’s car collection is better than Jay Leno’s. There, I said it.

Once the body is back on the car, is there some kind of ducting that guides air through the intercoolers, or do they just kind of float there in the engine bay?

So, if I’m in a suburban parking lot, in my CR-V, and I want to execute a tight turn around an F-150 that’s too big for it’s spot, without abruptly agitating or upsetting the forward motion of my car... left-foot braking?

This is a funny observational article and all, but Trump isn’t suffering from dementia, but instead, from self-imposed delusion. If you look at interviews of him going back 30 years, he’s sounded the same that whole time. This delusion isn’t caused by a deterioration of his brain tissue, but instead, by his insecurity…

The June 2016 issue of the Atlantic had a similar cover story delving into the mind of Trump. It was written, I believe, by a psychologist or psychiatrist, so the analysis was pretty clinical and comprehensive. Joanna’s and the NYT’s articles touch on some of the same character traits as that Atlantic article,…
