Oh my gosh ... I had completely forgotten about this game. I remember having one as maybe a 6 year old?
I also remember it not quite working either.
The videos were hilariously overdone ... although watching it now is kind of cool because I’ve actually been to Big Sur and seen some of those places in real life. Back…

Base interior on the F-150 is no frills, for sure ...
The higher end trim levels help this out quite a lot though. And I don’t think the work truck crowd really cares about anything other than whether they can tune the radio with work gloves on.
That is true even for the GM truck interiors that every one craps on.
I…
Looks like design by committee.
Tesla is a tech company ... so I’m sure the first thing they asked was something along these lines ....
Which is cheaper: Hardware or software?
Second thing: Which is easier to update?
The answer, of course, is software all day. Which is why we have to deal with their abysmal excuse for an interior.
Or maybe this is the…
The longest commute ever for me was a three hour drive home during the middle of a blizzard.
It wasn’t so much that the roads were slick or impassable - although they were slick.
It was more that the visibility was so poor due to the rate of snowfall that you couldn’t see well enough to go more than 15mph or so, even…
It’s hard for me to know what you’re implying with your seemingly-snarky “Capitalism!” remark; but, it seems like you might be mistakenly thinking an entire economic system is to blame for what was instituted as a result of an economic policy.
And if you aren’t, well, too bad ... everyone still gets a small economics…
Beautiful 64 Ford Galaxie 500 in the header graphic.
Canadian approved (as I write this in Vancouver).
If you are worried about hacking up a Galaxie ... just find a really rough example and no one will even think twice.
Galaxies aren’t rare cars - they made HUGE numbers of them - so as long as it isn’t a rare trim option or some rare unicorn like a SOHC 427 that somehow slithered its way into the bonnet space, it isn’t…
You can pretty much build a late 50s or early 60s Galaxie / Fairlane / Thunderbird into a stock car if you want to. There is a fair bit of aftermarket support even. (I know because my father has had a 64 Galaxie since 1987.)
I have family members who make fun of me for locking my doors on my car, even in my driveway, because I live in a “safe” area.
Yeah, well, my safe area was safe until thieves from outside our neighborhood came through our neighborhood looking for unlocked cars so they could find garage door openers to gain access to h…
I tend to agree with Tom’s big 60s sedan take.
When I was born (and I’m a twin - so that’s why I am saying this), my dad bought this ‘64 Galaxie 500 so he had enough room for his 3 kids:

The backseat had enough room for his 3 kids with…
Of course, we should probably cut Patrick some slack.
There’s a strong possibility this post is part of the media reparations package he is paying back to GM for the Camaro incident ...
The good news: user Quad4sRSooperKewl1989 agrees.
The bad news: no one else cares.
Love me some 64 Galaxie!
This.
And this line of reasoning is exactly why I chose a 2010 Fusion over the Camry at the time.
210k miles later and I don’t regret my choice. Still chugging away on original transmission and engine.
Doesn’t take oil and has never had any engine / trans related mechanicals replaced. (I’ve replaced some front control…
I know that the recession hurt some people really badly and for those people, I can feel sympathy for the pain they endured as a result of unscrupulous buying and selling habits.
However, the recession era was great for me because I leveraged the options that were available at the time.
I’d argue it depends on what you mean by “performance.”
Wrote a blog about that idea, actually.
