I think what the CEO meant by mechanical failure was something caused by improper maintenance. The investigation still has to look at flaws in the design of the aircraft as well as maintenance issues.

If it rolled, it wings would not be in the relatively good shape they are in. I don't think that happened either.

I rememeber in high school some dad alway dropped off his kid in one of those. The first time I saw it I started laughing at how ugly I thought it was. I honestly don't care if it (M45) has more power, I'd take a 540i every day of the week. Not only for the looks, but also for its lighter weight and optional manual…

I've done research on those and those were never actually on sale.

Correction What I meant to say was: Because he defected to the British thinking that if he could end the quickly that he would be considered a hero by both sides.

Benedict Arnold: Aston Martin Lagonda. Because he defected to the British thinking that if he brought a quick end to the war. Much like a Lagonda, it didn't really work.

Apparently he like doing this...

The big money is already in electric. It doesn't matter if its any better now. The phrase "a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing". People go onto a manufacturer website and see it says "0 EMISSIONS", or Obama (really any politician) says buy electric or you're basically killing your kids, or they even own one…

Jalopnik should do a comparo between the Fusion and the Mazda.

Honestly, I don't care what others think. I mean if you tried to pass it off as a Bullitt Special Edition I could undersyand the sentiment (i.e. badged it as one and told people it was one). But, I just don't see the problem with a Boss that has Dark Highland Green paint with the Bullitt wheels. I mean, the car…

Saw this yesterday. This was an absolutely great video. It shows that our passion is not necessarily about driving a fast, loud, or harsh car through mountain roads at mach 9, but that it is mostly about just driving a car you love and connect to.

The problem with this car is the Boss 302. Why not just paint it green and put on the wheels? It will handle better, look better, go faster, and probably sound similar as well. Seems like a no brainer.

An inline 6 engine screaming at 8k rpm, a six-speed manual, and spot on proportions. I'll take two please.

Looks much better in silver.

Can wait for there future j-gas to be put to use in the L-tron. Or their s-gas in the V-tron.

Actually I believe the XL1 is a Hypocar.

Last year at Road America BMW was running 1st and 2nd, but near the end of the race a corvette that was not in the running for the lead plowed into the then fourth place M3. Conveniently, this pretty much made it impossible for BMW to win 1st in the manufacturer or team championship. That whole incident just seemed a…

5.) 100 Laps Down But Fighting The Leader

I saw the crash. I didn't think it was too bad, and proceeded to make fun of the French for taking so long to clean up.

Maybe, but if it is some sort of union (which I am betting it is) that will be a hard battle. Especially in New York.
