While I love fancy things that cost a lot of money, 2 mil for a f*cking license plate is just vulgar. When the working class rise up with their pitchforks, I’m pointing them in this asshole’s direction. 

A tray table? I should have thought of that way back when I was using an ironing board. It wasn’t as stable as you’d think.

Obviously your take derives from having personally sampled the one C3 Corvette that was built with some semblance of quality, a comfortable interior, accurate steering, decent brakes, a smooth ride, and if it was built after 1973, the ability to get out of its own way. Point me to it!

NOOOOO! This is not ugly! I’ll admit that it’s a wee bit long in front, and could use a little smidge of air dam up front for balance. 

I’m sure that, if given the chance, Mike Pence would ban premarital hand holding. 

NEWS FLASH: Corporation bribes government to save money at the expense of public health and basic humanity.

Having experienced a first-Gen Accord, bought new by my mom in 1978, I feel that I can vouch for that Accord’s supremacy. The initial Gen’s qualities were light years beyond every other piece of shit car we ever bought in that era. More comfortable, more fun, but most of all more reliable. In a time when almost zero…

Well of course they’re making a shit ton of money. They gouged us for five dollar gas, not because of war, embargoes, or shortages. They just fucking felt like it.

“Lamborghini hasn’t said whether the cars will get out into the world . . . “

They spy, we spy, we all spy. But the sheer level of assholery that is required to send a giant balloon into our airspace, where one minor helium leak (because Chinese quality) might sink it down to JetBlue traffic level, is major. Add that to all of the other bullshit they pull and it becomes obvious that we need to…

+1 big time on the RX-8. I drove one at Skip Barber and it was so telepathically easy to drive at 10/10ths, even 11/10ths with the tail out, that even the old guys on corporate outings with zero experience looked like Tommi Makinen on the autocross course. Just magical. And that it could carry four adult men around…

Hemmings is full of them. How about a 1986 Monte Carlo SS for $22,995 that they bought for nine grand and put new tires on? Or a ‘68 Buick 4 door that has been Bondo’d and resprayed for 17 large?

Bingo. And if the previous owner knew enough to put an off road H-pipe on it, there’s a good chance the car has seen many more mods and some hard use. Which is fine, but there goes it’s value as a cherry original example that this car is mostly being marketed as.

No. No, no, no, no dice. Crack pipe. I’ve owned several of these and love them dearly but they’re not nearly old enough to have that kind of value in original kit. That money would buy you a really nice one that you can improve tenfold in every way through the massive 5.0 aftermarket. Stiffer, lighter, eons better…

Yes, I’ve owned several wheels. And I’m pretty sure I covered my anti-arcade sentiment in the last sentence, if you read that far. As far as realism goes, my very first laps at Lime Rock during my first Skip Barber class were more intuitive than any 2D sim has been so far. That was my point, if you were paying…

These games continue to get caught up in the “be as realistic as iRacing” fervor, when simply making the games more accessibly fun would be an improvement. I don’t give a rat’s ass that your physics engine will lessen my left rear tire grip by 8% while cornering on a 38 degree turn with a 15 knot crosswind. That…

If only Chevy Silverados were so easy to steal. My neighbor has a crusty old C3 Corvette for sale for dirt cheap that’s prime for an LS swap. 

So the NHRA DeWalt/Skoal/Ragu Guidonationals at Imola are canceled?!

“Loud pipes save lives!!”

This. Yeah, everyone was excited (kind of) about the return of the Supra, or the arrival of the “affordable” Tesla Model 3, but when the WRX showed up in the fall of 2001, American enthusiasts were ecstatic that we were FINALLY going to get forbidden fruit. And its affordability made it far more exciting than some…
