The gas tax hasn’t been raised since the early 90s. Hybrids getting 40-50mpg pay substantially less than traditional gas cars. I hear no one ever ask those to pay more.

Anyone remember how we were going to rename french fries “freedom fries” because the French opposed the invasion of Iraq?

this is true. you only align it if its convenient. otherwise you just balance it at the end.

I’m sure it’ll be like the new Tacoma was. Markups when they first started showing up, less than a year later they are available for thousands off. Early buyers pay the impatience markup. 

I think you’ve got an unreasonably large chip on your shoulder.

2 years / 25k is actually way shorter than I thought it was.

Also proof of concept that a 2-door Mach-e would look pretty badass.

I’m shocked. This is my shocked face. You’re telling me that Trump is a disingenuous lying gas bag who only punches down? You mean he’s an idiot racist that will just whinge at an conservative bugaboo that the TV sad was bad? 

If you’re traveling in the EU, my understanding is you can be treated by EU healthcare, which is much more affordable. I think most countries with universal healthcare are like that.

Is there a reason I need an automatic to go to Target/Starbucks?  Why can’t I drive a manual transmission vehicle there?

I would buy a Miata but I haven’t figured out how to get my wife and kids (plus the dog) in it, all at the same time. So I would love a three row vehicle with a manual that I could still enjoy driving. If they made it, I would trade our Pilot in tomorrow.

Why would you NOT want a well-sized, very capable SUV with a manual?

I can’t understand why in this day and age of automation, a company like Toyota still refuses to let their customers custom order their cars like BMW does.

This is the kind of reasoning that makes no sense to me. If this config already exists in the Tacoma, then there is pretty much zero re-engineering needed to put it in the 4-runner. And with Toyota’s Just-In-Time systems, it’s not like they are tied down to make 100k of each particular configuration. Theoretically…

This is a chicken or the egg for supply and demand.  The manufacturer says there is no demand (even though there most likely is) and then builds less than 300.  Customers can’t find any (no supply) and settle for an automatic.  Manufacturer claims no one buys them and refuses to produce any more for the next model…

The BMW that was holding up the lead Corvette was 55 laps down from the race leaders; at that point your not even in contention. In my opinion IMSA should have penalized the entire BMW team for this move. It’s simply unsportsmanlike.

Please stop posting crap from Xitter.

Appropriate time to insert your BMW-drivers-are-the-worst jokes here.

Kilmer has gotten so bad it kinda become a meme that I find absolutely hysterical
