It's always the people with horrible taste who spend tens of thousands customizing their cars just the way they want them, then can't understand why it's impossible to make their money back on the ridiculous car they created. GM should buy it just to have it destroyed. This is what gives Corvette a bad name.
I remember these from high school..
as much as I hate the idea of a sports car company bowing to the pressure to build an SUV it's a fact of the modern world that an automotive company can't stay afloat if it doesn't sell a rolling living room. It's what people want. Most driving is done either sitting in traffic, puttering around the burbs, or cruising…
I always liked AMC, not enough to actually buy one, but I did like their willingness to be different. I think that was their doom in the end. I think I was about 10 years old when the Gremlin was first produced and as ten year old I liked it. I was an odd kid though. I think AMC did weird and quirky way better than…
everybody that drives a car doesn't do so sans safety belts. It was roughly a half a decade ago that it was discovered wearing safety belts greatly improved your chance to surviving a crash, yet I still have idiots tell me they'd rather be thrown clear in an accident. This forces automotive engineers design cars that…
I don't really see this as a production tool; it's more of a tool used to make prototypes for testing faster and cheaper, thereby making it possible to bring new products to market faster. This could really speed up development, and bring the cost of prototypes down allowing them to take more chances and be more…
No helmets, no boots, no gloves, no protective gear of any kind, on wet roads. This why we've evolved to give birth to roughly 51% males. By the time we reach our mid twenties 2% have killed themselves off and the numbers even themselves up.
We do really go out of our way to protect our idiots here in the US. It's like they are are some kind of rare commodity or something.
My favorite car of all time.
Driverless forklift hits driverless car. You're going to be seeing a lot more of this crap.
I'm old enough to remember when low cost cars was all they made.
It seems most Americans still prefer "living room luxury" over most other features.
I stand corrected. I've never seen one of these. Any idea how much this option cost from the factory?
I had a buddy back in the 70s that was trying to restore an old retractable hardtop ford.
I took driver's ed back in 75, and we were all expected to learn to drive a stick. I remember the driver simulator (a complete let down as I remember) simulated driving a stick. We had to spend so many hours in there before they let us behind the wheel of an actual car. Back then it seemed if people could afford it…
E type jag? Is this sacrilege?
Even their adverts are boring. After the economic crash I though Buick would be dropped from the GM lineup, but no such luck. What purpose does it serve? Cadillac is the luxury brand, Chevy is more middle of the road, GMC is work vehicles, So does Buick compete with Cadillac? or with Chevrolet? If the Chinese didn't…
