Keep engineering cars to combat stupid, you’re just engineering the next level of stupid.

Crossovers are little more than tall cars with over-sized wheels. They are not meant to be practical, only to raise American’s butts further off the ground in traffic. That’s it.

I wouldn’t limit to age, but more powerful, sportier car should require a special driving license. It doesn’t make sense that the same license that is valid to a Toyota Yaris is valid to a Ferrari 488 or a Porsche Turbo S.

The problem with such a league is once a formula was found that worked everyone would just converge on it anyway, and it would turn into an ever-increasing arms-race of more and more expensive cars that would eventually cost out anyone trying to compete.

I would not put it past them. Gordon Murray once did something similar back in his F1 (not that F1) days:

Insurance should not pay out claims for un-belted occupants. Problem solved.

I would actually be OK with this. Put them into the impaired fatalities category along with drunk drivers and drug users.

I couldn’t disagree more.

So a dude with more money than most people see in their lives chose to take advantage of economically-disadvantaged individuals for the sake of some anti-Semitic “humor,” and is now surprised that there are consequences that go with that kind of behavior.

Got it.

Having read some of the comments on the previous article…

thoughts are you dont really understand commodities and how they are sold.

Some countries used to tax based on displacement, hence those weird Italian tax dodge cars with 2 litre V6 turbos. But remember that before petrol turbos were common, equivalent diesels in the product range were often larger displacement. On the other hand, France used to tax by horsepower (CV) which would benefit…

It varies from country to country. Norway isn’t in the EU, but we used to have a displacement and power output tax. Now it’s CO2 and curb weight. A Caddilac Escalade will set you back $250k, but nobody buys those.

Considering Trump was all about saying how he doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, won’t do drugs, etc. it’s strange that his closest adviser is clearly an alcoholic.

You are insane. The second gen was far the best looker. Woof.

Trump never campaigned on capitalism. He campaigned on picking economic winners and losers and economic populism. He and Pence also took money out o the pockets of Indiana taxpayers and gave it to Carrier. It’s called crony capitalism, has been around for a while, and Trump will kick it into high gear by using his…

The final talley was 690,114 cars scrapped out of 253 million cars in the US. So about 0.3% of all cars were scrapped under the program. Every year nearly 40 million used cars trade hands so cash for clunkers represented about 2% of all used car sales. I question whether it had that much impact.

I recognize the design limitation of working to only replace the hatch component, but with all the lateral real estate available behind the rear fender intake ducts, if they went with some flying buttress goodness, they could have freed themselves from the aesthetic need to continue the lines of the cabin area.

It makes sense due to the cost of repairs, but it’s always funny when you stop to think about it. The OEM builds the ENTIRE car, ships it out to a dealership, and sells it for a profit, but repairing two or three broken/damaged parts at your local shop can wind up costing more than the entire car is worth.

My daughter was considering following my footsteps and joining the Marines pre-election.

I have similar issues, mine involving the bending of the wrist - someone else mentioned using dumbbells - which really helped me too. Someone at my work gave me a set of these handle things, which basically do the same type of thing, keeping your wrist straighter. They seem to work pretty well, your mileage may vary…
