Honestly, I have to get this off my chest... my love of the automotive industry is what turned me away from the right-wing.

I was massively GOP for a long time, thanks to my father. He was a Limbaugh/Drudge/FoxNews addict. Otherwise a good, decent man, but a lifetime of believing right-wing propaganda. I, personally,…

The degree to which Fox makes “news” out of social media drama never ceases to amaze me. Day after day, they run articles like this, “Biden slammed for X,” “Harris accused of Y,” and so on, and the content is rarely more than a bunch of hot takes on Twitter from random right-wing chuds.

I am continuously impressed by the mental gymnastics that Tesla fans will do in order to justify the bad quality control on their vehicles. 

Looks like we need to review the evidence; the digit to the left of ‘57' seems to be a zero, it certainly is not a one.. very unlikely it is a nine..

“I really have no idea what this means.”

I guess we know now why he wanted more kids around so badly.

Porsche 911 Turbo.

VW Golf Mk.1

(Among many other reasons) traded down from a GTI to a regular golf for this reason. Fewer/less violent flats and better ride quality

Jalopnik featured an answer of mine to a QOTD that was “what feature did you wish your car had?” And my answer of CarPlay was chosen. It was a system put in 2016+ golfs. My 2015 didn’t have it, and I would have to retrofit it. Well thanks to a member here who saw my answer - gave me a full parts list complete with…

Weather Tech floor mats. Keeps all the crud and grime out of the floor. Take them out, spray down with tire cleaner, hose off, dry, and they’re back to looking like new in about 5 minutes of work. No damp carpeting in the vehicle, no mold, no mildew. Yes, they cost a bit more, but totally worth it.

As a high school student, finding the book “Car: A Drama of the American Workplace” by Mary Walton cemented my motivation to pursue automotive engineering. I haven’t read it in 20 years, and a lot has changed in the industry since then, but it gave me a fundamental understanding of the process & politics, and…

All the butt-hurt racist asshats trying to make the excuse that you don’t touch someone else bike are making a lame-ass argument.

Mazda MX-30, because who wouldn’t be excited to pay $38,000 for a slow crossover with no space, no AWD, and 70 miles of range?

Huge pickups that will never have anything in the bed. The dudes who buy these are insecure people who are overcompensating by trying to buy their perception of masculinity. Why does it bother me? Because they also drive like 14-year-old bullies who were thrown a set of keys by their drunk old-man. But hey, maybe they…

Mitsubishi Mirage. New for $15k sounds enticing. But if you love yourself and family, buy a used $15k car.

Not a bad truck really, but certainly a misstep by Toyota - the T100. By the early 90's, Toyota appreciated they needed to be designing cars specifically for the North American market, and did so brilliantly with the XV10 Camry and Lexus LS400 (as mentioned, the Previa was clearly a foreign market vehicle, and as such…

What in the word is the point of designing something completely and totally unrelated to anything that could ever be put on the road in any form? This is like asking an architect to design you a house and they give you back a pineapply with a tiny HVAC system installed in it. What... what is this for?

Toyota C-HR. Crappy drivetrain aside, just look at it.

The Cadillac Sixteen was a masterpiece that would have given Cadillac the Bugatti of sedans, but I think GM did realize beating Rolls-Royce at their own game was beyond their willingness to open the money purse.
