Gotta get dem clicks...

Thanksgiving is a great time to do shenanigans like this. The social media team is almost certainly off for the day, and lots of other people are at home or off work and more likely to be on their phones twitting.

Closest I can find to the Fast and Furious Shift Pattern

If it’s half as good as the Brits say the GR Yaris is, it should completely sweep what’s left of the hot hatch market. That said, I’m wary that they can build a Corolla that comes close to the madness that is the rally-homologation Yaris. The GR works because it’s not a Yaris. I wonder if this will drive like a

At least it has four wheels.

I had a dealer try to upsell me. With a straight face, I responded that I preferred a 78% blend. He told me they couldn’t do that.

You can get mega money ($$) for your used car only because it’s going to cost you super-mega-money ($$$$) for the new car you’re eyeballing.

This price is the “We aren’t ready to sell it” price.

I’m almost angrier about a $500 N2 fill than a $40,000 markup.

It would be interesting to take this one step further and take a look at the 911's capabilities and performance throughout the years. When it initially came out, it was a balanced (and simple) sports car with modest power coming from its small (under 3 liter) H-6 and a low weight. But then in the late 70's, after they

Shoot I was really hoping this was a post about used 911 pricing.

Spoken like someone who has no idea why people like muscle cars, or sports cars.

I think it’ll be more like the auto vs. stick argument. Autos are faster, more efficient, and just perform better in most ways, but damn if a stick ain’t great to drive.

I think vinyl is far too subtle of an advantage for far too much of a compromise; I don’t think it’s QUITE the apt simile, but I generally agree with

In hindsight, I should have told JFK to go with the hardtop Continental.

Full! It’s Full Self Driving! I don’t understand why it’s so hard to grasp. All you need to do is sit back and relax and be far more alert and attentive that you would be while driving the car yourself as it fully drives itself.

I’m sure a website named “Teslarati” is going to be unbiased. I don’t understand these Muskoles. Criticism of a beta program (or anything)is a good thing. This is actual feedback which Tesla can use to make their stuff better. The need to defend anything related to his Holy Musk is inconceivable to me.  

I like the preview picture of the video.  Everything you need to know about how close we are to full AV5 capability in a single face.

The Volt seems like a perfect commuter car for most of the population, but most of the population doesn’t even know it exists. GM fucked that one up hard.

Yes.

Which is why I should probably figure out what’s going on here, because MY REPUTATION IS ON THE LINE. :D
