You can build a PERFECT nuts-and-bolts clone of this car for 10% of this car’s price. It will look, feel, and drive exactly the same. The only thing missing will be the sentimental value of being built 50 years ago by actual GM employees. And the ability to own something that everyone else covets for the sake of…

The 1992 (GM product) Was a Poor Attempt at (guess anything).

Boom. A special order program that isn’t insanely expensive like Porsche’s PTS or semi-obscure/limited like Spektrum would be fantastic. Make it affordable and suddenly your online configurator will see quadruple traffic as everyone will want to play with the color options. But more importantly, you’ll be planting the…

Not a huge surprise that such a thing would be proposed. I’ve read that in 1918 alone, nearly 500 women disappeared from the streets of New York City. The world has always been a treacherous place for women. 

I always have my iPhone at the ready in NYC. There are some rad cars floating around. I shot this Alpina BMW a couple of years ago. It’s still probably my favorite spot.

Remember when the government required OEMs to fully test vehicle safety systems on a closed course with professional drivers for long periods of time before letting them on public roads? I don’t recall signing a legal waiver volunteering to be part of Tesla’s safety experiment. Even though next time I’m out riding my…

Automotive related? Does this count?

Polyphony showing their obsessive attention to detail when recreating an Italian car:

Low. End. Torque. And a set of Blizzaks, of course. You don’t always want to rev the bejesus out of a car for some sly, under-the-radar, town square drifting. That just makes you look/sound like a hooning dick. But the revs are there when you want them. I drove this little jewel through many New Hampshire winters and…

Wow, I’m all for saving Mother Earth and what not, but if this isn’t some ridiculous grandstanding do-gooder bullshit, then I don’t know what is. If my tax money was being diverted from some of California’s far more serious problems so people in poor neighborhoods can become subsidized Tesla Stans. . . . what the…

The C3 Corvette, especially catalytic converter era dogs. The rose tinted glasses of time will never hide the fact that these lumps are a whole lot of rolling useless. Too heavy, horrible build quality, with the handling and braking prowess of a Soviet limousine. These cars will never be anything but “chick bait” for…

I don’t have to look at the outside when I’m driving it. But those screens . . .

At least Lamborghini isn’t closing out the Huracan with that fugly rolling wart-on-wheels, the STO. I don’t think I’d even want to be seen in such a clown car. Apparently, I’m not the only one: there are 39 of them for sale on Autotrader alone. Lamborghini Dallas alone is trying to unload 5 of them.

The 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2. Slow, ugly, expensive, and horribly built. And hotter than Satan’s microwave in the summertime. I’d suggest that it’d make a good candidate for an oddball LS swap if they were cheap, but Boomer lust has made these metal warts unjustifiably pricey.

An “honest” truck can carry a dresser and a hutch from the antique store to your house because it doesn’t have a faux-aero aid bolted to its rails.

FIRST with stupid asshole reference!

Regardless of the stupidity of his claim, he got his name in the press.

PREACH!

If I’m commissioning Ferrari to build my car, it’s going to have a manual transmission. Everything else is just window dressing. And damn the legalities of federalizing and registration. If I’ve got that kind of cash, I can finagle a dealer plate through my (existing solely on paper) used car dealership. 

I’ve been considering a new sim rig for months and this bad boy has gotten good reviews. Check out the YouTube vids on it.
