By sporty car I meant one with sports pretensions. That’s the base Mustang since day one. European inspired styling with a econocar chassis meant to inspire fun. I like to make the distinction since the Mustang has never been a sports car and in its performance form sports sedans (too much interior volume to be…

I love everything but the wheels. So yeah I would be the guy that gets his 911 Sport Classic liscence revoked for swapping in a set of HREs. 

Gingrich, Limbaugh and Trump are the guys that history will show sowed the seeds of Civil War.

I can hear Trump now in 2024...

The Mustang’s big draw was it’s low price of entry. You got a decent enough handling car with a fairly powerful V8 for the times and a manual transmission if you wanted it. People forget the Mustang was introduced as a sporty car first and Ford has pretty much stuck with the formula over the years even now.

Who do you thinking was out moonlighting as a car thief! 

If you wanted to make a really meaningful impact the power industry is where you would want the most change since power plants emit about 300 to 350% more pollution compared to the diesel fleet. Going completely green or a mix of green and nuclear on energy prodiction would cut total emmisions by over 50% compared to…

Sounds like oil companies were using premium to offset the price of diesel and now maybe the crowd that somehow believes going to premium improves fuel economy has been forced to seek lower octane fuel.

Indeed, discovered this when a me and a friend drove up to Pittsburgh and on the return trip to VA and using his phone as guidance set accidently to scenic, we took some great roads home. It was a good time taking all those back roads.

Also, my mom was from Titusville, so it was always a fun to ride around when we…

The weights aren’t too different with less than 50 pounds at either end of the range for each car but what really makes the difference is the power. The Z only had to car a little less than 9 pounds per HP compared to the EB Mustang at around 11 pounds per HP. The Z falls behind the GT though which ranges from a…

Hasn’t that been an actual gripe on the standard list of why US domestic cars suck? Generally, the story begins with.

“Even though it was the top spec US model, the car was awash in a sea of cheap almost glass like plastic and steering feel, or complete lack of steering feel made it a challenge to navigate out of a…

Hammerhead above shows how the safety system works. There is a clutch hooked to a steering shaft so in the event of failure the car can still be steered. 

Sigh... here comes the inbound “I’m sure they had the same complaints when they replaced the horse and buggy with the automobile” argument when you lament the loss of another analog system. Lamborghini will of course support that argument with a well-timed interview talking about how drivers really don’t steer the car…

Once you get past the W8 the Vector devolved into garbage. The W2 is arguably the better looking between the 2 and 8 but the W8 was a still a seriously slick car. 

Vinyl was the low maintenance option. Cloth and leather required more maintenance. Before they heavily plasticized leather it required a fair bit of maintenance to remain supple when exposed to all the human body’s grossness.

If the owner has the location services set to full send on the phone it will snitch as well.

You might need to calibrate your Sarcas-O-meteR 

9.99/10 that is what happens with most drivers when they go into a skid.

Out of all the crap modern shifter designs the MB column shifter is my favorite. 

on the plus side GM vehicles run bad longer than most vehicles run!
