Aren’t there financial ramification for losing a lap? If a chunk of the driver’s/team’s pay depends on them staying on the lead lap, damn straight they should be allowed to fight for it. (I obviously don’t follow racing that closely, so I could be wrong)

Half of these suggestions seem to be “I don’t like it, therefore it was a flop.”

I used to see these several times a week when Vector Aeromotive was based just south of Jacksonville, FL in Green Cove Springs. They had a tan “test” vehicle that they drove along my commute to college and they constantly abused it (as in, ran through ditches, etc) to figure out how to improve it. I stopped by with…

If you thought the trunk on the Pontiac GTO was uselessly small for such a large car, just wait until you get a load of the new mid-engine Camry!

I had a ‘98 C5 for 12 years and loved it, but it was on its last leg. I sold it with the intention of saving for a C7 that was about a year away at the time. After a few months without a Vette, I decided I needed a cheap one to keep me entertained, so I test drove a 87-ish convertible, automatic. While it would be…

My uncle’s Lamborghinis - Diablo and Murcielago Roadsters. They’re beautiful to look at, but at 6'2", I couldn’t get behind the wheel. I even tried standing up through the roof and dropping in, and I still couldn’t get my right knee past the steering column. They’ve also got extremely narrow seats, so (even when I was…

Trying to package turbochargers on V8s in front engine cars is a difficult challenge. There is very little room and it gets complicated very quickly

Remove that extra padding on the roof, which I doubt is hiding anything, and it is pretty much still an Escape, with a slightly more vertical rear window.

And solid soundtracks.

I just can’t imagine any workplace situation where your boss gets to literally spit on and choke you.

I never realized (ok, never really cared enough to think about it) that the Pacer and Gremlin were sold at the same time. That seems like cannibalizing your own sales.

I may have a soft spot for C5's, since it was my first Vette, but I’ve got to rank base model C6's as the worst. Chevy knew it too, which is why every other model of C6 had different fenders and nose.

Owning a ‘72, I can confirm - While swoopy and pointy, aerodynamics were not really a focus. Above 100, that undercut nose causes a huge amount of lift and steering becomes more suggestive than direct.

A lot of Chevy dealerships have dedicated Vette mechanics and service advisors.

I played around with the configurator. I couldn’t find a delete option, but there is a much larger (and to me, much better looking) wing option.

The fact that they kept the giant trans tunnel when there’s no trans or exhaust running through it, makes me think the Z’s will be going AWD.

Absolutely. The fun part would be when he has to face off against Obama, who would also then be eligible for a 3rd term.

You just know he badly wanted to ride in a tank from the White House to the Lincoln, and given his military knowledge, he was demanding it be in a new Sherman. He could have made Dukakis look cool.

The “chrome” trim over the windows bugs me. It’s basically the designers telling you, “this is where we wanted to put the roofline. Sorry.”

Completely off topic, but every time I see tags like those on the F150 in the lane splitting pic, I assume that is someone who is planning on doing illegal shit.
