Really? You want a Porsche that has been wallyed into a truck? I'm guessing that better used Cayennes are available. -Michael

Is this a question about which is the best track car or a question about which is best at hooning around a sopping wet British track? This seems like a silly comparison- hardly a "track battle" as claimed. Entertaining, but uninformative. -Michael

If it makes you feel any better, there are thousands of conversations about trucks each day to which you were not invited. -Michael

That is a good differentiation that I did not make: Factory-owned repair centers versus independent dealer repair centers. -Michael

"I have made it a principle within Tesla that we should never attempt to make servicing a profit center. It does not seem right to me that companies try to make a profit off customers when their product breaks."

While motorcycle companies have been pulling 100HP+ out of 1 liter for, oh, I dunno… DECADES, they have not caught up to Ford's innovative application of iron to the production of engine blocks. Such an advance! According to J.T., iron will make it possible to make a smaller engine- imagine the how shocked Yamaha,…

Polo lawns or otherwise, good riddance. Underpowered. Unreliable. Expensive to maintain. No weight caring capacity. No room or equipment or personnel. There are many reasons why almost no US public safety agencies rely upon these things. Perhaps Granville considered whether they were more concerned with appearances or…

Ha. You are way ahead of me. I still like the e90 interior (except for the lack of temp gauge and the nav screen cave) better than the f30 interior. My comment above was related to the fact that I just wanted a Camaro instrument update so it didn't feel like each gauge face was located at the end of a funnel. What is…

True enough, lighter is better. But the Z28 still weighs less than a 335d. So is "cargo ship" fair? And I suspect that a serious cost-reduction effort would impact manufacturing cost. I only care because properly equipped Camaros shouldn't cost as much as an M3. But George did say that the newer platform is lighter,…

500 hp behind 3800lbs is not exactly "cargo ship" power to weight ratios. But an updated interior would make it easier to choose GMC over BMW. -Michael

Twelve months of weather like the first two. -Michael

But according to Zac Estrada, "Jason Cammisa has a great piece on where the manual is actually doing really well, and why we shouldn't be complaining about its death."

Because Jimmy needs 800 ft. lbs in a short-bed non-truck? He is more of an Explorer Short Trac kind of "truck" guy. -Michael

Genius! Good call. -Michael

What if? I'll tell you. It will look like crap after about two weeks on site and within a year, you would not want anything to do with it. Why? Because operators get in and out with mud on their boots, because open cab windows bring in rain and dirt and because those rims look like a pain in the ass to clean. The last…

Fair enough. Although, I suspect you agree that his was not a mere anthropomorphic exercise. But let's not split that hair.

I'll pass on your invitation to respect a morally bankrupt position because, you see, your liberty to act as you wish extends a broad and free arch until it diminishes the liberty of others. In this case, your statements defending the decryption of a certain race as sub-human diminishes the liberty of an entire class…

Sure, although, I wish I had missed that news cycle altogether. -Michael

So, as I pointed out in your last post about the subject, it was a very good ad for GM in spite of your knee jerk response to the character in the ad. I understand and respect the fact that you did not like the character- but I bet the ad hit the target demographic with the perfect tone. Point GM. -Michael

Maybe, as a matter of fact, in UPS brown…. Look for rural carriers across the northern US running these instead of conversion vans. -Mike
