Amen. My trackbike hauler Transit 250 had a “Superleggera” vinyls on the front doors and it generated almost as many giggles as my racing career.

I mean I thought it was funny, because like dude it’s a Miata.  There used to be a car around here YEARS ago where the owner went and bought a LOT of those fake chrome rubber strips from AutoZone, and covered the entire car, and when I say entire I mean ENTIRE car in that stuff. It was hilarious.  Then years later

The sour looks I get from others when I try to start an impromptu gasoline fight.

I deserved that.  :)

This game has an achievement for shooting someone in the groin, so it’s immediately a Game of the Year contender for me.

I had one like that! I was considering answering with it. Mine looked like a generic Jeep, and the remote had a single button (released=forward, pressed=back and to the left). That was when it worked at all.

I can’t be the only one who feels like he’s been taking crazy pills for the last few years as it pertains to EVs.  Government mandating massive adoption rates or outlawing ICE sales, makers saying they’re going 100% EV, and everyone seemingly agreeing this will just magically happen.  

Exactly. Luxury car prices, of which only the most loaded was for sale, is kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

1,000 times yes to this FCA turd. I had one that racked up a myriad of issues in under three years and 80,000 easy highway miles.

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that guy doesn’t care about a reasoned reply.

That you actually need 4wd in most parts of the country. My Veloster did fine in the far west suburbs of Chicago and site visits all over northern IL every winter. Snow tires > 4wd.

Minivans are wonderful off road

C&D runs their own testing. Optimal or not, they were not done with slicks and C&D never allows testing on a drag strip that’s so sticky your shoes come off. Oh and the Ferrari did it on pump gas, not E85.

That’s great, too. I hate to see empty racetracks.  I drive by the Speedway frequently (on my way to the roadcourse near there) and would love to see it in action!

Nice! I was just there last weekend for the game vs. Emporia State. 

Total 360 production was around 16,000 units and the 430 about the same. I’m not sure of total 458 but Ferrarichat threads suggest around 20,000, and the 488 sold over 7,000 in Europe alone. Even though Ferrari have split out their range a bit more with the likes of the Roma I would expect total 296 production to

Dude, you beat me to it. I’d call a production run of 3,300 special Challengers (the actual number could be less) pretty damn healthy. What’s the model run of this Italian toy? Pure WAG on my part: 300. If it was so, that’d make the Dodge 11 times the production car of the hybrid.

Not buying it, cars have gotten a lot safer everywhere else in the world too without similar results.

Yup - cars are getting larger, heavier and also have horrible sight lines. Something about physics - these larger “cars” are pretty much deadly to anyone who gets hit.

The evidence suggests we’re actually fighting human nature which is not a technology problem thus efforts to solve with a straight technological solution are doomed to fail. The classic case study is Munich taxis equipped with ABS not reducing the number of accidents. Drivers altered their behavior to be more reckless
