I nice enough looking but damn did the FT1 concept look the part. I don’t know why they didn’t just roll with the original concept - it certainly looked finished enough.

This is actually the best way out here. It allows the government to reopen and costs the Democrats nothing in terms of bargaining capital for other things they need to do like extending daca status for millions of people who’re at risk of becoming illegal. The actual emergency declaration will be litigated endlessly…

Best - 2018 911 GT3 at the Porsche driving school. The car fits you like a glove on track. Two glorious hours lapping one around barber motorsports park on a sunny spring afternoon was as close to perfection as I’ve managed.

Of course there will be a “ransom”. Most people call that a compromise. I know it’s a four letter word around here but moving away from a tradition of give and take to one of media bubble hypercharged ideological purity has got us into the Trump disaster in the first place. Most polling shows a large majority in the…

A non US manufacturer is unlikely. There’s still a huge non US market for them. I think Dodge/Chrysler is a better bet. They probably won’t replace the 300/charger and the rest of the car lineup sells terribly.

Only after it’s been through a crusher and left out in the rain for a couple of years.

I have 10

Judging by his other actions this month, this is least crazy thing he’s done. He’s gone from being just early onset dementia to flat out mentally diseased.

I really think it’s more a combination of the cold conditions and the winter tires as Mr Metcalfe himself pointed out. Other reviews in more ideal conditions aren’t nearly as concerned about the traction situation. That said, any RWD car with over 700 hp is going to have to be treated with respect. Still a great…

I think part of its alleged effectiveness is that it forces you to mix it with a lot of water to wash it down with, unless you’re that one special person that decides to use champagne and explodes the bottle all over your house (I’m never going to live that down). I used it for a while and yes, I did feel better the…

They allow you to travel from one point to another. They um, crash real good when superheroes throw meteors at them. Basically not much.

Unfortunately that’s exactly what I’m saying. There’s no way to sugarcoat this. The 2020 election will be won or lost in states like PA, WI, MI and FL. As the midterms showed us, running candidates closer to the demographic makeup of these places works to the extent it doesn’t energize a certain section of the vote to…

This - we need to avoid repeating the 2016 primary where Bernie kept fighting Clinton even after he lost a realistic path to victory. Yeah sure he backed her at the end but I don’t think anybody can argue it didn’t help Clinton to have to contest the Democratic nomination all the way into the summer. The Democrats…

The only thing that matters is the finding the best candidate possible to defeat Trump. Identity and any other diversity checkboxes need to be left at the door. Biden would have been perfect if he was 10 years younger, Bernie is even older so right now it looks like its Beto. He’s far from perfect but he did take the…

Is the hi-lux basically the same truck as the Tacoma these days or has the hyperinflation in US truck sizes moved it a size down?

Pagani huayra. It shouldn’t really be a debate.

The Democrats include way more than the radical left that gets the biggest megaphone on sites like splinter. Open borders and unrestricted migration are supported by a tiny, insane minority of not just Americans but Democrats as well. It might not play well in a media cycle to push such views but I expect most major…

If it was a Cadillac they’d formally announce it, launch it and then cancel it before launch. They’d then replace it by yet another CUV. 

Does it have a working V16 engine?

e92 m3 with the 6MT. Real exotic car engine that revs to 8500 and chugs 10W-60. Fast even for today. Still looks pretty good. At the bottom of its depreciation curve.
