I think it's a play on Kal-el, the birth name of Superman.

Reminds me of the tongue-in-cheek HOWTO article "How to get your econobox into the 14's" from Sport Compact Car magazine many years ago. read it here. I LOL'ed before that was a even a thing.

"wreckless moron"

...at least they don't try to hitch a ride!

Maybe not a "best of all time" candidate, but nevertheless, I'll throw a bit of a curveball out there -> Mitsubishi Montero/Pajero GenII. Why? Luxury features, seats 7, Body on Frame strength, strong 3.5 six and aisin tranny, factory rear locker, Dakar competition heritage.

I assume that Musk's battery swap motivation is rooted in the convenience of a "pull up to service station, swap packs, continue on my way" concept. What happens when there are Model S-es out there that have many miles/years of service on their battery packs? Won't consumers be upset when good packs are swapped for…

How is this rope magically appearing ? Does someone throw it overboard? Weird.

Outlander Sport recently received the "Best All-Around Performance" Award from the Automotive Science Group (ASG) – the organization's top honor – for "best overall performance amongst all model year 2013 crossover SUVs sold in the U.S. market."

Hi Bill! Big fan since I read your story. Excluding Beemers, what makes/models make sense for a budget rally car? What might you troll for on Craigslist if you had to build another?

Thus, we have the Schaeffler/Ford eWHEELDRIVE Fiesta. The in-wheel motors are responsible for driving, braking, and any driver assistance aids like ABS and electronic traction control

Neighbors report worrying that the place is being stripped ahead of being abandoned, which makes sense since he's a scrap hauler who was reportedly convicted of running a chop shop in 2004 and who owes the government $930,000 in unpaid taxes. He told The Detroit News he's building a home for autistic children.

He also puts a NTV sticker on the car window, which is a Russian TV channel. So maybe this is a parody or hidden camera stunt?

Talk about some engine-breaking engine braking!

... i guess my "Pfft." didn't convey my post's sarcasm. It's a infamous Shelby photochop that I like to ridicule from time to time, that's all. :)

Pfft. A true muscle car would have lifted the front tires.

I'm in Raleigh... it sucks you'll be sans Viper tonight. Or, will you?

If this is a Jeep, where is the badging on front?

those side exhausts ... so ridiculous! Why are they exiting at the very top of the fender? Why are there only 2 pipes? Why did they heat-wrap just the vertical portion? Why weld directly to the fender?

Or an 11-year old Mazda.

Dang, missed this QOTD. The Vector never made it into a video game, did it?
