Having cross-shopped the Mustang Ecoboost and the listed Camaro, as a driver’s car the Camaro is the better choice. It’s lighter, the suspension is better, and while it does have a power deficit relative to the Ecoboost it doesn’t show up in acceleration tests. The Mustang bests the Camaro on comfort and…

I love the “catfish” Camaro. It’s underrated. It was a far more modern and superior car to the mustang at the time. I miss understated good looks. These cars look positively badass lowered with nice wide wheels and tires on all 4 corners.

The recessed, skinny sealed-beam headlights and blacked-out greenhouse on that 1994 are such a great look, and a clean design. I secretly loved that generation of Camaro.

Thinking the same thing, lots of precious bits low on the front of the car is not good for off-roading, but then they’re calling this the Trackhawk, and not the Trailhawk (I think there already is one). This thing isn’t meant to go any more off road than any other SUV usually does.

And Daft Punk is sad you said that.

You mean the guys with jacked up trucks ALL OVER THE NEWS that were travelling from all over Houston to rescue people, ease boats into deep water and take supplies to folks?

Just like your race car that’s likely never seen track time.

Those were basically the only vehicles from the flooded areas that survived and they were all running around the past 4 days rescuing people from their homes. They still may not have left pavement technically but the lifts and big tires sure helped them get around

Great post. Don’t forget it is also part of the urban bias against rural folks.

The “arm chair” journalists and related media would have us believe that the only people who can assist in situations like this is the state/fed government, local LEO/Fire and Military. In their view, volunteer civilians simply cannot have the necessary training or even remotely understand how to assist others in an…

Seriously... assembling a large, volunteer force to rescue people is “for better and worse”, because a guy helping people dares to mention he heard gunfire... and right after that they crosspost an article telling journalists to stop shaming looters.

I think the diesel Excursions get snapped up pretty quickly.

LT1 Roadmaster with the tow package. It is rated for 7000 pounds, seats 8, has wood paneling, has a Corvette V8, and is more comfortable than anything on your list by a country mile. And the best part? This big boat only cost me $2500.

Sad that we need to keep pointing out the key differences between the GM and VW cases. One was negilgence that was fixed by the company after it was discovered, the other was intentional fraud by the company.

I wonder how true that is any more, given that insurance companies do per-model actuarial tables...

Factory five did it with the 818 using a subie if that counts.

I find there to be a slight irony in the fact that you agree about the C5 being a “blobby mess” and you DON’T think that an FD bears a strong resemblance to a C5.

Let’s be a little more real, it was people accidentally turning the car off by twisting the key by accident. I’ve got a camaro with the outstanding recall. They want to take off the switchblade key and give me a regular key. Leaving me with a giant key fob with a hole in the side. All to fix, “don’t turn that key…

Fleeced you? How much compensation did you receive for your car?
