They still produce incredibly sub par shit that they are selling in 3rd world countries like Angola, Bangladesh and very soon in Alabama.

Give me a break... Chevy’s been building higher quality cars than VW for a decade... Ask JD Power, Consumer Reports, etc.

This resonates with me and many people I know who are my age and younger.

The big mistake was when they paved everything. Before that you could just blade the road occasionally and everyone owned a Jeep. Make America Dirt Again! (see, partisan debate commenced)

Because the only reason they added turbos to non-performance cars was to game the economy tests and doing that would be admitting defeat. At that point, they would just cease the turbocharging and save the money.

An engine is essentially a pump - it sucks air in when the valves open, fuel is injected, compressed, explodes and the piston pushes the air out again.

these get massive government subsidies so, yes, it is our money and business.

He actually did impoverish himself with SpaceX at first. But he was desperately terrified that there was going to be a global event that wiped out him and humanity. His whole drive for building SpaceX is the colonization and terraforming of Mars. Everything else he’s done has been secondary to that goal or helps it…

I think the same could be said for 95% of the F150 King Ranch, Sierra 2500HD, Silverado 3500HDs, etc. that I see driving around Houston. Bed only needed for hauling YETI cooler.

Just because it isn’t your business doesn’t mean you can’t be curious to search for justification behind such a vehicle. And it doesn’t mean you can’t judge somebody who spends tons of money just to show off.

I don’t know all of the details, but if you’re unemployed maybe buying ANY car on a loan isn’t the best path forward. I assume you’re looking for work, or maybe picking up freelance or contract work to make ends meet, and likely have a second income as you’re expecting a kid soon. Maybe you could buy a cheap beater on…

LMAO $986 a month car payment. Even with your old big boy salary you spent above your means there playboy. Sell that shit NOW and get a damn Camry like you should have in the first place.

I’ve got a great idea for a new racing series! Now I know this is a little bit crazy and not what we’re used to, but hear me out, you guys might like it...What if we have a series where points are awarded to the top finishers in each race and the driver with the most points at the end of the season wins the…

I have never understood how the positive image of German engineering coincides with a negative image of German reliability. Shouldn’t good engineering lead to good reliability? Some cognitive dissonance going on here.

I wouldn’t call it “perfect”, it’s a 52/48 split with the ecoboost vs a 53/47 split with the GT. If you want a “perfect” 50/50 distribution out of a front engine, RWD vehicle, then get an rx8 or a Corvette.

Who the fuck is buying 70k trucks?! I would love to see the average loan term on one of these....has to be close to 7 years, with a massive percentage of buyers defaulting. I can’t even look at the price of an F150 without gagging. Yeah, I’m told they’ve got great profit margins, but it seems like these guys are going…

I’m not certain much of that is acutally “invaluable” if it’s just personal. If it’s public articles, they’re not published on FB, so they would not be lost. If it’s remote photo links to imgur, those pictures are not lost. If the videos are youtube or someone else’s; also not lost. So basically if the local data was…

We used to play this chicken game with the Russians back in the ‘80’s. We were careful to turn off radars and to aim weapons down to the deck to preclude any excuse for a “misunderstanding” and I thought both sides, at least the men on the ships if not the men back at headquarters, pretty-well understood the game. I…
