Two doctors just happened to be on a golf course? What are the odds?!

Efficiency sells. Safety sells. Which regulation forced Elan Musk to invest billions in an electric car company? Regulation didn't do that, lust for profit did. Why does my wife's Sonata have a dozen airbags when only two are mandated? Why are manufacturers adding lane departure warning systems and automatic braking?

all great points

Ya I don't know. Might have worked in this instance, but in general someone telling you to do something that they have no clue how you're going to accomplish or if it's even possible may not be good policy. For instance, what if they mandated that since poor tire condition results in so many fatalities per year, that

But what is your reasoning that the free market couldn't have achieved this on its own, without govt intervention? In today's technological world, do you really think that without regulation cars would still be carbureted and using vacuum hoses for everything? You don't think it's possible that the big HP gains would

And here's the other thing about the EPA — they believed in the American car industry during a time when no one else, even the industry themselves, did. They didn't tell the automakers how to get the MPG and emissions results they wanted (well, aside from the catalytic converter, but if you were smart, you could skip

Go ahead and try to find another 4WS Prelude in the country that is even for sale, let alone a better deal.

Because there's always that one tool I need that I don't have, no matter how many tools I buy.

This was a running/driving car until one morning recently when it would not start.

When I was in about second grade, I was riding in the back of a slow-moving school bus on a long stretch of road with no stops. A classmate of mine stuck his hand out the window and waved around the car that was riding our tail (something that he had seen the older kids do before.) This driver decided to trust the

Exactly what I was thinking. If this wasn't an epic Ferarri heist, an opportunity was certainly wasted by all involved.

Maybe if the complaint was "check for noise at 118MPH and hard launches 0- 100"

Yep. First hard brake with nothing to grip with your legs and you're sitting on a giant slide= you hitting the pavement just before your bike runs you over. WTF

I don't think you're going to see this car depreciate. Dodge hasn't said to my knowledge how many of these they will make, but I do know that not all of the ones we ordered have been picked up yet. This will always be a comparatively rare car. And no one will daily drive this car, they're all going to sit in barns and

Now playing

Cop motor, cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. Obviously.

Ya, I'm never gonna find one in Ohio.

I just wouldn't trust this guy. Just...look at him.

My god that car is ugly from that angle.

ALL RIGHT. Let's do this: My 97 Ranger isn't an FX4, that wasn't even a trim level back then. My 06 Grand caravan was not an RT, that's not even a thing. My Regal is a Buick, despite the Opel badges. I'VE BEEN LIVING A LIE
