Case in point: many enthusiasts, myself included, don’t buy new. We buy old used cars, or we buy the newer cars just off lease, because we know that that’s where you get the better deal ( Jalopnik has done articles dissuading people from buying new). So if we are all clamoring for manual transmissions, but none of us…

You don’t actually mention in that condescending post why would it be damaging/unsafe to pop it into neutral at 10mph and brake to a stop. But please, tell us what the “Italian who well knew his stuff” said.

3rd Gear: You failed to mention a lot around this story, which just gets much more interesting.

I raged quit that show after just a few minutes.

So more:

Check this out. The people that shot this video edited it so it’s sorted by color:

Yes, but if you drive enough, tack $10,000 on for solar panels on your home’s roof and you may be able to save 10 gal of fuel a day if you replace a 20mpg vehicle, 13 if the old vehicle gets 15mpg. It adds up. A person that drives 35,000mi/yr like myself would save $6550/yr on fuel switching to “free” electric with…

I fail to see the lack of safety. Stands on the K frame, jack as backup

USDM manufacturers be like: “Let’s make this paper thin piece of critical safety equipment, that is located in the wheel wells, out of rust-prone carbon steel”

Indeed. Cars are more expensive than ever. For some context the average new car price is around $34,000 these days. (A base Mustang GT starts at $35,355 without any decent options, but good luck finding one.) But as you note, it could be argued buyers are getting more than ever before—more power, more safety, more…

Putinism in America is dangerous. It’s been disastrous for marginalized people in Russia, and is beginning to destroy what’s left of America. To reject the New Russian ideology is not xenophobic, it’s actually pretty goddamned patriotic. The authoritarian regime that controls Russia (and the the territories they’ve…

Sweet! That chassis is a 2002 Jaguar R3

I don’t miss the days of changing a light bulb every few months.
