How do tire barriers play into all this? Tire barriers have been in all forms of racing for decades.

I actually really like this car. CD4 is an excellent platform, and between the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 and the AWD system with the Focus RS’ rear differential, the fact that it’s transverse-engined may not even matter. The only thing that would stop me from buying one new is the fact that I know it’s likely to drop in…

Lots of car companies hated grills in the late 80's through mid 90's, even amongst ICE powered cars.

The only answer I can come up with is pedestrian collision requirements. But I don’t know those specific requirements.

Considering that vehicle rollover accidents are the most common type of accident involving fatalities, coupled with the absolute explosion of SUV sales since 1993, I’m wondering if raised speed limits are really the cause of elevated numbers of fatal crashes.

Anyone with an IQ over 80 can understand that correlation does not equal causation. Unbelievable. Even if this was valid, it’s not the speed that caused the deaths, it’s the shockingly low standards with which people are allowed to drive and the resulting otherwise avoidable “accidents.” Maybe we should lower the…

You can probably get a couple of thousand dollars more selling a car privately than you can through a dealer. Is a couple of thousand dollars worth the hassle of listing the car; going through dozens of potential buyers; setting up appointments for test drives and tire kickers; vetting the possible buyers to ensure…

Ouch. I thought mine was bad at $650ish. Sorry to hear that :(

Maybe I’m a grumpy, old 26 year old, but I still can’t think of drifting as anything other than the figure skating of motorsports ever. That said, I definitely don’t have the sack to throw a fucking 4,000 pound GTR sideways at 190 mph, so kudos.

I’m the second owner of a recalled toyota and I receive the notices because I think they use vehicle registrations rather than any information any dealership has.

This is such a nebulous, meaningless argument in the context of the article. The fact is: if you want companies to make enthusiast cars, but those cars new. If no one buys it new and there’s a short supply on the used market, obviously it’s going to make it appear demand is much higher and drive up resale. But the new…

This is such a weird way of trying to show that your used car purchase should drive new car manufacturing. You know what numbers matter most? New car sales. They get reported on and analyzed to death. A new car purchase that supports the enthusiast “wants” matters exponentially more than a used car purchase that may…

Well, that and they seem to be at the ass crack of dawn way out in the burbs. Ive been to Atlanta’s once, it was OK. Decided it wasnt worth getting up again.

Someone more skilled at photo-editing could do a better job, but even my shitty ‘shop looks better. It’s not that it needs a grille, it just needs to lose the “look, I don’t have a grille” fascia.

Twitter never had a clear path to monetization. There are plenty of examples of companies making money from selling cars.

Exactly, motorcycles do not have blind spots. On a bike, you only have to worry about being in other people’s blind spots. Build me a system that broadcasts my presence to surrounding traffic instead.

I though bikes should be more worried about being in other vehicles blindspot. Cause really, is this even necessary with 100 visibility in all directions?

Isn’t this a little unnecessary?

Apparently it’s amazing. Multimac car seat system for 3 or 4 children and even adults can fit. Each seat can be equipped with any of the different options for different aged kids. 4-point harnesses even for older kids! Well tested and can be custom upholstered too. Completely legal in Europe at least, including the…

some sense? I’m a die-hard manual driver, but tell me why you would need a stick in a car with ONLY ONE FORWARD GEAR?
