I haven’t looked into recent cars, but I know cars used to have different standards for California. The ‘92 Civic VX, with its lean-burn, was illegal in California (ironically, considering how it was one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles in the US at the time), so there was a version made for the California market. 

I’ve got a RHD WRX in Canada, and I can tell you it’s really not as bad as people seem to think it is.

This is true. In high school I drove a ‘92 Civic with every panel bent or mismatched, rear quarters rotting through, a straight-pipe I made because I wanted to learn how to weld, and driving that thing to the States was a nightmare. At the crossing south of Osoyoos, they actually stripped my trunk lining out, crawled…

It’s like somebody got asked how an automatic transmission works on a test, and they had no clue, so they wrote this

I assume they just mean 5 minutes without any inputs. Most people who live in a gated community and park their car in their garage would just leave their keys in it, so that’s not fully addressing the problem.

Even Netflix has this to prevent you from accidentally watching 13 episodes of Breaking Bad because you fell asleep, and nobody’s life is on the line there.

Imagine how quickly the Pope could bless everyone in a 600-hp Lamborghini, though.

I’ve actually had a Toyota 5-valve cylinder head from a blacktop 4AGE sitting on display in my living room for a couple years now. It is a thing you want to show off to guests

How are they not?

These are the next muscle cars.

I was under the impression that they only really needed to do this for the last scene. I didn’t realize how much of the movie was actually done like this.

I thought the CRZ looked pretty good. That’s probably the only thing the car had going for it, though.

This was rural Oregon. They don’t even know how to pump their own gas there.

I actually had a cashier at a liquor store in Oregon say they were calling the cops on me because I tried to buy beer with my Saskatchewan license, and they thought that wasn’t a real place.

Back in 2007, my mom’s ‘92 Civic got hit, and while they were repairing it, the insurance company gave us a brand-new Dodge Caliber. The thing had, like, 10 miles on the clock. We were apparently the first people to get it.

I grew up around stock car racing, but I got into drifting pretty young. But one thing that’s always bothered me about drifting is the lack of safety equipment.

It’ll be interesting to see the video of the crash from the self-driving car. Although it sounds like it wasn’t the fault of that car, I’m wondering if this is a situation that a person would have seen and been able to avoid. Like, would a person have perceived a threat up ahead, and reacted accordingly to avoid a…

It seems the plan is to allow electric cars to cross the country, but you’d think they’d put some charging stations along the I-90/I-94 through the Dakotas, Wyoming, and Montana. Now anyone with an electric car driving between the Northeast and the Northwest will have to go all the way down to Colorado. It just seems…

True, but I don’t think there’s many manufacturers that could be bothered with doing it. The unique thing about the McLaren F1 though, is that it’s McLaren doing the repairs and supplying the parts themselves. I suppose it’s small scale, since there’s only 100 F1s, but anyone with an F1 can call up McLaren and get…

I read somewhere that McLaren will still produce any required part for any F1 repair, including a whole new chassis (see Rowan Atkinson’s McLaren). So that technically counts, right?
