Came here for this. And beyond the obvious overkill of absurd, from-the-factory power, some of the oldest model Hellcats, Scatpacks and 392's are now in circulation to the sub-prime, used car market. As a result, YouTube is now a menagerie of dickheads that I wouldn’t trust with a potato gun carelessly slaloming down

He’s a very wealthy man-so he’ll probably live until he’s 105 and use whatever designer drugs rich old people use to stay active and in the public eye until he’s 95.

SUVs are pointless, buy a damn wagon. You don’t need the ride height.

It has to be Dodge RAM trucks with their stupid fuck tow mirrors out. The assholes who buy and own these things are breed all to themselves. I wish only the worst Dodge build quality issues on these coal rolling clowns. 

Not really an “automotive” skill, but I really want to learn to weld.  Regret not doing so in my younger years.

I think it’s important to maintain a handful of wrong opinions (not too many, mind you). It helps keep you grounded to know that, at least in a handful of instances, you are fully capable of being 100% on the wrong side of history. It makes you consider your other opinions a bit more.

My boss had a 74 Super Duty. Now that was a car that doesn’t need to be on the list. He drove that thing for a long time before the combination of paying for gas and rear tires put him in the poor house.

The Buick Grand National/GNX were actually pretty fast for the mid 1980s, faster than a contemporary Corvette AMOF, and they have an extremely loyal following to this day.

I’m certainly no marine engineer (as much as I wish I would have chosen that route). But it makes sense to me that they would. Ship hulls certainly fatigue - lots of freighters have been lost as a result. And I’d certainly imagine that subjecting any structure to the rigors of the ocean - including the corrosive

Carbon steel is the same strength in compression and tension.

I mean it’s done the dive before, so it was clearly capable of doing it. How the design held up after multiple 4000m dives is another matter, I suppose.

What’s the big deal about the sub using Logitech?  The US Navy uses XBox 360 controllers on its submarines.   And the world’s first robotic IVF procedure used a PS5 controller.  

a Mustang will always be a Muscle Car to me

A compelling case could be made for a Mustang from pretty much any generation that doesn’t have II in its name, but if you said to me “Every Mustang now costs the exact same. Which one do you choose?” I’d pick the 2015 GT350, and that says something.

All of them. From inception, they have been cars that resonated in the market of their time. Even the much maligned Mustang II was a popular choice in its day. There is a reason we still use the term pony car. There is a reason that the Firebird is long gone and the Camaro is at its end. (The current Challenger is not

They are definitely going to lose their blue check for this one.  

Are we really surprised when any automaker pulls this kind of crap? Why would Tesla be different?

Ah, I see he’s entered the “and find out” stage of his fucking around.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
