My commute is about 15 tiles each way. This morning it took me an extra half hour to get to work because a dog flipped over and things were really backed up. Half hour of extra belly rubs, that is.

There must be something wrong with me but I don’t think the notch looks all that bad. The fastback looks cheap to me, though. That’s all tempered by an awareness of what a truly horrid car it is underneath, though. I wonder if a restomod could make one into a good car.

You... seem to not really care much about cars. Which is weird because you are writing about cars.

“The old black ring was replaced, letting the new logo radiate more openness and clarity.” How hard did they have to masturbate to come up with that one?

Are there FIA rules that state that steering must move the steered wheels through equal angles? Because toe already changes as the wheel is turned. Is there a rule that states that the wheels can’t be steered independently? Given that this is all under the control of the wheel, it seems capricious to make it illegal.

As a matter of fact, I agree that the Mustang feels heavy and ponderous. It objectively isn’t but it feels that way. So odd. In counterpoint, the Camaro feels pretty nimble. Nearly identical cars but so different in feel.

The Mustang is less than 150kgs heavier than the 911. Are you sure this isn’t perception versus an objective measurement?

Now, turn.

Which, when analyzed, will turn out to be 50% chicken.

Sure you did, unless you are being disingenuous and pretending that your response *to* *this* *article* is just a general response about people who race on public roads.

There isn’t a place which even remotely replicates those conditions. Several thousand miles of unrepeated road-course simply doesn’t exist. Argue the illegality or danger of it, fine, but don’t pretend there is another option besides simply not doing it.

Where, for instance? Where is there a place for people to have fun driving their cars really fast, very long distances in rally conditions that don’t use public roads? While this is illegal and dangerous it actually isn’t replicable in off-street driving anywhere in the U.S. that I am aware of.

Many problems with justifying the investment. Battery technology and vehicle range are rapidly changing variables. The need for superchargers is incredibly uncertain. Take the Cybertruck with it’s 500 mile range. I can imagine never needing a supercharger station with that so long as there was charging at my…

Shouldn’t they back off and rename it the Ford Probe, soon?

Depends entirely on what you mean by “battery”. There are many mechanical energy storage mechanisms that return power in AC not DC. If you mean strictly, chemical battery, then what you said is true.

Is anyone looking into why this is so? Are there standards that cars in the U.S. must meet that need not be met in the China market that make this vehicle economically viable there but but here? Something else?

Millennials are dismissive of anyone who doesn’t agree with them.

The big problem with unions is that their mission quickly evolves from, “protecting the workers”, to, “ensuring the continuation of the union and the enrichment of its administrators”. Unions are not unique in this regard, this is true of every human organization. In the case of unions (and certain other types, like…

I generally feel like your garden variety idiot should have, at least for a while, a Volkswagen Beetle, pre 1972. With any luck, they will come out the other side with substantially less idiocy when it comes to cars.

There are two ways to parse that statement. There is an implied “total” after the “lift it up over seven inches” because the point you are making is reasonably obvious and, therefore, somewhat pedantic.
