Don’t forget that those parking spots themselves are going to have to get bigger for all those Broncos people here are in love with. /s

Are you actually incapable of seeing how one can be “pro-car”, and also anti-bullshit car infrastructure and dependence on the automobile? Really? For one thing, I am acutely aware that if many of the appliance-users had other options, there would be hell of a lot more room on the road for drivers.

just because you’re an auto enthusiast doesnt mean you have to ignore all the issues that come along with them, and by acknowledging the issues, and simply doing better.

I stayed in Tokyo for a short time period, in the Irifune area of Chou inside Tokyo.

I grew up in Japan as well as the US, my grandparents rode scooters around in to their 90's, groceries weren’t really an issue... it was part of the business model for businesses that sold larger items for them to just deliver the item. family members with cars lived close and we had tons of good neighbors. everything…

I know people are angry at the oil companies for being greedy with prices but people really need to get angry at city planners and zoning laws.

As bad as this crash was, you could see that the passenger compartment actually held up fairly well. I wonder how the driver got ejected. Was the driver wearing his seatbelt?

I just drove this exact stretch of road last weekend on my way back from Flyin’ Miata’s Summer Camp and at no point would I have felt comfortable doing a 140mph on any stretch of that road in any vehicle. The problem is that cars are too fast, speed is too accessible, and people are way to dumb to be responsible with…

‘Nuff said.

To me, $712 a month should be a mortgage payment, not a car loan.

1st gear: “No customer is going to spend money for the computer in the car to enjoy the drive”

“screams ‘douchebag’ in several regions and languages”

1st Gear: Response from the late Marchionne in February 2017 about why Ferrari will never build an SUV: “So ... we have to be sufficiently disciplined not to bastardize the brand and take it to places that it’s never been, and where the DNA gets effectively obliterated by the technical requirements of the car.”

Probably a Crown Vic, in either grandparent civilian, P71/CVPI, or yellow NYC taxi livery.

Sadly they seem to be getting more popular due to tax exemptions for commercial vehicles, and people think they look cool. Although I must say that when people use them over here, it’s mainly because they can haul big machinery or scaffolding with them. So they’re actually used for their purpose, no soccer moms or…

It’s not entirely clear if they were even losing money. Opel did a lot of engineering and some manufacturing that went to other markets, and it has been reported that Opel’s losses were mostly from those things not being assigned properly, and the speed at which Opel became profitable under Stellantis does support…

Yes, I’m “sure” that the Euros also need such a TPCV—tiny penis compensation vehicle.

It should be classified as such in the US as well. Too heavy. Too big for regular drivers.

I wonder if Mary Barra is having second thoughts on selling Opel/Vauxhall at all. It seems that it was a short sighted move even if they were losing money over in Europe.
