Maybe I’ve seen Idiocracy too many times, but I don’t have enough faith in humanity to do this right. My guess is going to be a hover board, one wheel skateboard, or maybe even an OG Segway.

Yeah the last time I flew out of Atlanta on a flight that was leaving at 9pm on a Sunday, we got past security at like 7pm. Thinking we would grab a bite at the Sweetwater brewery or something. All of the real restaurants were already closed for the night, while the fast food lines were crazy long. McDonalds and Panda…

At least give us Mr. Fusion so we can turn garbage into energy

Considering the relative distance from Estacada, I assume this is a reenactment of the scene from inside the car.

This is the biggest point of the fatigue. They ended the uncharted series saying they were starting work on a new IP. So when all we get out of the studio that has produced some of the biggest AAA cinematic games is remake after remake, the good will starts to wear thin. I think if they had something that was truly…

Oregon and Washington equally share blame for not wanting to pay to fix that bridge. They’ve been battling over it of decades. 

The data about trucks is obvious, even the cybertruck misses the mark from a volume mover standpoint even if it were ever to go on sale. I’d be curious to see how they defined an EV “car” vs say a crossover. The Ioniq 5 and the EV6 are considered crossovers and I think buyers are not looking for vehicles to be smaller…

Raptor Lights - On anything other than a Ford Raptor or other wide truck. Seeing them on half of the Tacomas and 4Runners I see driving around reminds me that people will do anything to try to mimic ruggedness. If they had an actual purpose I would give them a pass, but they don’t.

I don’t think they look very similar, the FFVII bike front fairing looks more similar to a Suzuki Katana just adding some off road bits and the quad shock tubes. The other one to me looks mostly like the Honda XR650L dual sport.

I was thinking in today’s market, Buick and GMC are the only companies that could compare as a “premium” brand and GMC is truck only. At least Mazda has a platform to sit on since they will never out volume Honda, Toyota, or VW. 

It may be obvious, but it’s got to be the Gymkhana series.

I understand the overall sentiment, but it’s not like conflicts led to the design of the BMW i3 or the smart 4two. Auto design is built around developing an emotional attachment. People don’t get emotionally attached to a washing machine anywhere close to the way the get attached to an A4. Making every car/CUV look…

I don’t know if the LMP07 used the same engine as the LMP-1 Roadster, but I still have the sound of that car stuck in my head from going to the Petit Lemans in 2001. The engine noise from all of the other cars on track mostly blended into a balanced drone, but as soon as the Panoz was coming around a curve it sounded…

Maybe they can fix them with a software update.

Maybe we should just make smaller EV’s

It could be worse, you could own the Goonies house in Astoria, OR and have fans show up at your house to do the Truffle shuffle just outside your fence.

I have a Tacoma, and it is only available on the high end trims. If I could live without it, I would have gotten a cheaper model. Mine is open almost year round even living in the wet PNW.

I came from a Mazda3 into a Tacoma, and I had the same feeling. It’s not the best at anything, it’s just better than average at everything.

I have owned both (non-turbos) as well as the last gen mazdaspeed 3, and the CX-30 is night and day more of a drivers car compared to the cx-5. It could be as simple as valving in the shocks, but the cx-30 is livelier in corners, and due to its smaller size and tweener height is doesn’t suffer as much body roll as…

Considering all Bronco transmissions have been swapped at some point in their lives, it’s really not a big deal. If it was original, it was 3-speed that needed to go anyway.
