Tell me again why California doesn’t have a high speed rail line from LA to popular destinations?

I’m going to ND this time, the 3rd gen RS always felt like a sheep in wolve’s clothing and $6k is a bit steep for project car.  A 383 stroker or an LS would liven this right up but I would want a $4000 car with a solid roof

I thought our BMW 2000 was a cool car and along with a Road & Track subscription was my entry into car enthusiasm. Unfortunately I wasn’t along when Dad teat drove a Citroën SM. Oher than that, I got a ride in a Corvair Monza one time, and in 1977 a Honda Accord was new and hot. Later in life a college roommate had a…

The Renault Trafic goes back to 1980 and may simply be French spelling, it briefly appeared in the US as the front of the Winnebago LeSharo and was heavily badge engineered.

Considering how many bombs we dropped on Japan and Germany I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.  Two logical explanations are chemical breakdown of the primer finally touched it off or a mechanical piece finally came unstuck. Fortunately the majority of old unexploded  bombs are straight up duds that can be…

I fit the profile,  apart from the new Frontier I don't have any interest in Nissan’s current lineup and am far more interested in either discontinued models like the Xterra or 25 year old JDM stuff.  

This generates almost as much content as the Cybertruck.  I'm sure it's just a matter of time until the sanitary system malfunctions and the all die of dysentery 

That’s a decent price for a JDM van in the US. I’d prefer a Mazda Bongo Friendee but I’ve seen one in person and it seems OK. NP

Level the site and build an Arcology. That’s one idea for reusing malls plus it eliminates commuter traffic 

NASCAR has always been run for the benefit of the France family above all things.  Giving the plantation workers a bigger piece of pie and more control is good for the sport

Fiat does have a full range in Europe with a new 600 model to presumably replace the Tipo,  the Panda,  the Grand Panda EV and various 500 options plus vans, lots of vans. It will take a while to rationalize cars onto a common platform but the vans have share with PSA through the Sevel JV since the 80s 

I saw an article about someone going full Karen at Rivian for daring to sully a Tesla charger. Guy wasn't even parked wrong.  

It’s in nicer condition than 2002 F150 but not as nicely equipped. I have XLT trim and a 5.4, which helps when towing. Stock payload on this generation is miserly unless this truck has the 7700 lb GVWR package.  It would be fine for landscaping or light construction as long as it's bulky loads rather than heavy.

The Monster is definitely a monumental bike. It figures large in the memoirs of David M Gross (Fast Company) and certainly helped Ducati’s cash flow. I think you are slighting the Triumph Speed Triple,  the other factory street fighter, although it didn't come into its own until the 1997 T509. I'm inclined to call the…

By coincidence Ars Technica had an article this morning about charging a Bolt at Superchargers. One of the writer's fixes was to park on the opposite side of a charger so the cable reached the Bolt's front fender mounted port and he didn't block multiple spots.  This trick will only work if there's accessible space…

I think the crazy prices of 2020-2022, and the recent increase in interest rates are both factors, plus the occasional fool who thinks fugly wheels and tasteless styling adds value.

It looks like AI hallucination of a Lamborghini LM002. This is apparently the pseudo MRAP for Recoil Magazine photo shoots. I'm surprised Dan Bilzerian didn't own one

I’d call a toss-up between the third generation Dodge Dakota (the really angular one you never see) and the heavy duty GM trucks with the French Pre-Dreadnought design language.

Victory didn't "go under" since parent company Polaris is very much alive and kicking and selling Indian motorcycles. Excelsior went under, as did several earlier attempts to revive Indian.  Polaris made the business decision to keep the better selling Indian brand and retire Victory.  

Although it’s not official there’s a video of Nightcall with a BTR-60 https://youtu.be/gjdn2JYZhD8?si=FDtBQ-ILpTy9PWLC
