I remember reading a link from another article a few weeks ago that said that a fair amount of reengineering was done to the frame for the Hummer to add some offroad capability.

There is a black one in my hometown with the license plate 4X4UFO. The guy loves it. It was definitely ahead of its time as well.

They are actually less efficient than a naturally aspirated V8 under higher loads.

I can’t say I’m too surprised, but there are people on this site that disparage Corvette and Porsche owners who don’t track their cars.

The wife wanted a sensible car so he said, I’ll go buy a Civic. He comes home with it, and after one look at it, she says that it has to go. In about 1 month he will be saying, “See honey, the dealership wants to give me $10k less than what we paid for it if I trade it in, and no one else wants to buy it.” I guess we…

When you mention coffee are you referring to coffee grinds or instant coffee? I have seen both used in different spice blend/marinade recipes.

I won’t bid until I can get a verified, actual mileage off the odometer.

It doesn’t matter if the 4.0L is equally thirsty at higher loads. All that matters is that the 4.0L is less thirsty on the test bed and that 1.5L of displacement that isn’t there for tax purposes.

You’re an asshole. ;)

I think the ugliness is a communicable disease because it has started infecting the Toyotas as well.

Horsepower is a unit of power just like kilowatt is. Electric car power will still be advertised in horsepower.

Neutral: Any major changes in philosophy towards car ownership will take at least a couple of decades to fully manifest, and that is if they really occur. The pipe dream of no car ownership has seemingly arisen from environmentalists and the tech minded (both groups have different motivations for this) who have…

I am averaging around 19 in my Acadia and 17 in my ZL1.

Where I live the only condition for renewing car insurance is paying the bill. I have only ever had 1 car inspected, and that was only done because I was bringing it in from out of state. They only checked to make sure it had lights, mirrors, and a windshield.

I have never been unable to unsee that “feature” since first seeing the car.

The problem with winter tires is that they get less effective and wear down quickly when the temperature rises into the 40s. I don’t know how Pittsburg is in the winter, but if winter time stays in the 40s and 50s a lot with occasional cold dips then winter tires would not be a great idea unless he doesn’t mind…

But it has tap shift so it must be a manual! - Dealership employee who posts the cars online.

I was going to say either an Ecoboost Mustang or Turbo 2L Camaro. Both are solid cars and can be optioned up with nice interiors.

New means it was never titled. That means the dealership never sold it.

While the LFA may be a piece of art, it is hard to not compare it to the mass produced, factory (not upgraded) Camaro that can outrun it on a racetrack for ~15% of the cost. The ultimate purpose of performance cars is...well...performance.
