The muscle car one seems out of context. A sort of performance car relativism and the Chevelle is a poor mascot for the argument anyways since they actually did pretty well in comparisons with other vehicles that were supposed to be nimbler. Well at least the 1970 and later cars for the brief time they existed since

Infrastructure is most likely only part of the problem.

In the great labor-saving tradition of ‘murica I humbly submit this!

1st Gear: I guess everybody??? Ford is building a plant in Tennesse to vertically integrate production. IIRC Autoline ran the feature and again IIRC the production facility will encompass six square miles and will start with batteries. As it evolves, they’ll bring almost everything in house.

John McElroy made the

Mifht as well ring out the last few they can before the EV cars hit in a few years. The LX and LD chassis have probably been a liscence to print money from the jump and definitely fall into the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” catagory.

Damn 800/month for a Fiesta!!!!

Ineed, it’s too bad localities won’t ween corporations off of the business entitlements. Especially for big box retailers, it’s not like they wouldn’t build there since those outfits rely on reporting continual year over year growth as part of their strategy to wow investors. What are they going to do? Export stores

‘murica do'in what 'murica does best! Although not a shocker for the Midwest. 

Can’t disagree, GM is really bad at that. Much better than Ford when it comes to engineering but horrible at branding.

So the real question here is which truck ia mote capable? If the ZR2 shits on the Raptor in every other metric ( handling, braking, load, AT capability ) then the added power means nothing.

OUT of all these I could see the ad free experience and the pay for better throttle response being a subscription feature.

Man, Apple could certainly spin this as a safety feature since they are under no obligation to provide the feature to other phones.

9.99 or faster and it might as well be a racecar at that point since the cage is going to require a lot of modification.

Bullitt always gets a gaggle of thumbs down but it was a different cop movie for a different time.

I could probably stick my hands in a blender then count on both hands the number of people who are willing to chance dying over running into other vehicles.

Edges! 

Wouldn’t the Mercury Cougar at the least be an indictment of the same generation Thunderbird and possibly by extension the entire Fox family? The RWD Cougar of that vintage was Ford’s early attempt at chassis that could be used across many lines -Mustang, T-bird, Cougar, Fairmont, LTD, and probably a few more I’m

The 911 in at least GT3 trim offers an extended range tank these days. IIRC the Z06 package for the C3 offered the big tank as well and the GS ( if you could get one came with the larger tank or maybe it was 40 gallons ) offered a big tank owing to its racing intentions.

All good and worthy choices but #1 “Cars are a community” is certainly true, it’s just too bad the car community tends to be one of if not the most toxic out there.

Naw, most of them that show up in my shop for tires are surprisingly stock and well taken care of. They seems to be owned by middle aged outdoorsy types. Maybe preppers or something like that.
