Haven’t seen any specific mention of the Mustang yet. Has the Mustang crowd finally grown out of doing burnouts at parking lot exits? Or have they moved on to another car?

Adjacent to the topic: an in-depth look at EGR deletes

IMO EVs depreciate because 1) the tech is still advancing rather quickly and the next model just around the corner is bound to be significantly better and 2) batteries degrade, and eventually you’re looking at a $20k-$30k replacement.

The first set of snow and ice tests they did with it were eye opening. Mind boggling that an all-season tire could outperform some dedicated snow tires in the environment they were designed for.

The GOAT. R.I.P.

Pun times ahead! Keep rollin’ on.

Subaru should take notes. The WRX is properly hideous.

Got damn

It’d be more newsworthy if the report was about Fisker somehow not being trouble. We’ve been reading about them for a decade now and every single time it’s about running out of money, a catastrophic disaster, or something of the sort.

The blob generation of cars. And if you need a specific example, the Hyundai Coupe is probably one of the worst of those.

PPF is actually pretty cool. There’s a shop in Qatar that had a Bentley involved in an accident. The PPF kept the paint fully intact and instead of having to repaint the crashed panel they were able to do just PDR and replace the PPF.

A hub motor strong enough to drag along a fully loaded plane is going to be big, heavy, and expensive. Plus you’d need a battery or capacitors to power it, along with possible upgrades to generators on the plane itself. Not happening, IMO.

Every single time F1 does a big rules change they say it will reduce costs and make racing better, and every single time they’ve done it the opposite has happened.

That took me right back to India’s awesome Peugeot 206 ad:

This. There’s always been a mid-size and a full-size Land Cruiser. This is like comparing the new Lexus GX to the LX and saying it got smaller. It’s a completely different model!

Yeah this. I disagree, but I can see where Brad is coming from and understand his reasoning.

But there is rollover crash protection. Much more than any Miata or S2000. The only thing that comes off are those two tiny bin covers and the whole top actually stays in place. There’s more structural strength left in there than a regular car with an open sunroof.

Yeah! Maybe it’ll convince Merc to bring back the R63 AMG

You’re right, there isn’t any, so long as it’s one person spotting the plane. But if someone pools the sightings of a thousand people, and collate that into a chart showing where you are at any one particular time, then that person is acting as a data aggregator. If he then makes that data available to other parties,…

With the top removed the front top of the car including the central pillar in the center looks very beefy. I imagine most tracks will let an owner drive it like that provided they were properly strapped in like they would be in an open top single seater.
