When you’re tasked to stretch a cadillac body onto a traverse architecture, passion goes right out the window. 

This...? or a 450/600 HP/TQ - Hybrid... Rear Wheel Drive Based... much better looking Lincoln Aviator...... hmmmmmm....

1st Gear: Seems like another admission by GM that 1.) they don’t know what they hell they’re doing with Cadillac, and thus 2.) their priorities for the brand shift according to whatever is trendy, rather than coming up with a plan to leverage the brand’s strengths and sticking with it.

I hear a lot of enthusiasts say they miss pontiac. But here’s the reality; if there was a glut of people who wanted to drop $30-40k on GM muscle cars and sports coups that hadn’t already turned to Dodge for some reason, Pontiac would not have gone away. 

We’ll meet this time in about 3 to 5 years at this very spot to discuss the next plan for Cadillac when their head honcho is unceremoniously fired yet again.

Want to love it. Don’t love it. 

It’s $800k between 4 kids. That works out to $200k per kid. The vehicles aren’t totally valueless, so the actual responsibility per kid is more like $100k per kid. Not chump change, but it’s something most people can pay off over time.

Because patents are granted for more than just being the first to invent a concept. In this case, Ford is patenting the specific design of this strut tower brace as it mounts to this Mustang in whatever specific applications so they have recourse if an aftermarket parts company starts reproducing the part. I’m sure…

EV performance is all just quarter mile times and numbers on paper. Fun, but not at all engaging.

This serendipitous headline placement gave me a chuckle:

Did you get a new screen-name Elon?

...but the Mustang is the one car they do make...

It’s more a trade from the unsafe and unreliable vintage cars than swapping a 2018 model for this thing. It’s a weekend cruiser for most, not a daily driver.

Life is more exciting when you take risks anyway. 

Come up with it, then.

You’re telling us three things there...

Its a thing now for complexes and neighborhoods (aka bitch ass HOA’s) to have stupid shit in their rules. From trash cans not being out so far to stuff like this. On one hand I get it. Who wants to drive through and see cars sitting on bricks, spiderwebs under them etc. A lot of people use car ports in complexes as…
