Is something broken on the site?  This story has been at the top of the page for me since it was posted Friday.

It’s a percentage of the particular make, normalizing the denominator. So for every 1000 Pontiac drivers, 3.11 have gotten a DUI. For every 1000 BMW drivers, 2.57 have gotten a DUI. etc.  It’s not the raw number of DUIs (I imagine that would correlate strongly to the number of vehicles on the road).

Not who you’re responding to, but I’m curious what the actual punches were that Kendrick threw at Trump (the Drake ones were already well known). Not challenging you or anything (agree with your general thoughts), just genuinely curious what Kendrick said/did. 

Fox News would be nuclear right now.

Am I experiencing deja vu or is this the second time in the last week or so that you’ve posted a video of an F40 crashing?

Yeah, I honestly wonder if he never actually intended to sell it. He just set some reserve he knew it likely wouldn’t hit, and put it up for auction to see what he could now say it’s worth. Like you said, when you’re that wealthy, seems like the car would be much more “valuable” than more money.

I feel more akin to the guys in Office Space looking up money laundering in a dictionary than I do an expert on the topic, but I imagine it would go something like this:

There are dozens sitting in a parking lot in a suburb south of Nashville too. 

I went to Petit Le Mans back in the mid ‘00s. One of my favorite memories of the day involved seeing an S7 get squirrely (maybe between turns 10 and 11?) and having to come to a stop. The mistake itself wasn’t the memorable part. It was the driver righting the direction of the car and then hammering the throttle to

This isn’t the answer, but just came here to say that, after pick-up trucks, I tend to see the most MAGA/no step on snek/FJB stuff on older minivans.  Maybe just coincidental in my area.

Fellow Williamson County resident here. Can confirm. 

Of automakers still selling cars in the US market, my initial thought is Mitsubishi. There were a few years in my career where I ended up at the LA Autoshow every year, and I’ll always remember their sad little booth tucked in a back corner (granted this was like 5+ years ago). I think they may have made some headway

Dude, yes

While I don’t disagree with your second point, the first isn’t true. My old 2003 WRX was rated at 227hp and 217lb-ft. This one is 271hp and 258lb-ft. The performance increase over the US lifespan of the WRX is certainly less than a lot of other performance-oriented cars over the same time period, but it has increased

Question on the 0-60 time: Is it hampered by gear ratios (i.e. needing to shift to 3rd)?

This is not at all to defend him (obviously he’s a clown), but I suspect he wasn’t prepared for how loud a gun is, with no ear protection, in a small enclosed space.

Oh no, I’m 100% with you. I think the department spokesman was either greatly inflating the number or not comparing apples to apples (or both). 

I think the most expensive common cop cars themselves can cost a bit shy of $60k (for a Tahoe PPV). I’m guessing if you went absolutely nuts with accessories you could push it to over $100k, but I highly doubt the Tesla here is kitted out to that extent.

I get the commenter’s point, but the 2nd gen MR2 is such a good looking car.
