Think the car looks fine, but 60k for a 27 year old alfa with a measly 205hp? Wrong marquee for that kind of coin. Might be biased, I am waiting for the st205 to become import legal...

A cheap car is 25k? Well, please pass the crack pipe bucko. For 12k you can get a brand new *cheap car* and guess what many of them will last just as long as those *nice* 50k cars. Some models will easily outlast them. So, please, tell us more of your economic theory there stranger.
The industry changed how they measured horsepower during that time frame. They weren’t lying, they just used a different set of criteria. For example if you test an engine on a test stand without any accessories its going to make a fair amount more hp than once you load it up with what it actually uses in the car. If…
Sorta, mid to late 60's as the hp climbed insurance companies caught on. As you start getting into the 70's they started jacking up the rates for the high power trim levels which helped contribute to the death of muscle cars.
Torn on this. I have a BS and MS I do not use, but if things go according to plan in 4 years they will be paid in full. My degrees helped me to get a job that pays me well and I do not mind paying the debt.
Also prefer this. It screams less “I am an attractive girl.” and more “I have amazing talent at recreating costumes and doing makeup”.
Not a huge fan of spinning Doritos but, every engine has trade offs. Want light weight and low center of gravity? Rotary will trump an inline, v, or boxer. Want torque? Not your bag. Want good mpg? Keep looking. Want it to pass emissions? Total dream.
You know, you could let your kid *insert higher risk activity here* as young as possible. If they don’t die they will be ahead of everyone else.
I doubt she was in anything near as powerful as a top fuel dragster, but power to weight ratios mean it doesn’t take tons of horsepower to accelerate quickly. Young, inexperienced, and behind the wheel of something that requires fast reaction times? Big difference between that and your daddy’s malaise era olds-mobile…
Those of us that think it is a fad remember the VR of the 90s. I see areas where it could work really well, but would require better controls. Example, Flight simulators are enhanced by vr. Problem is you need the controls to be placed and feel like what you see in game. The same goes for racing which would be easier…
Give it a rest. So tired of these sailors were protecting our freedom. In actuality those sailors were doing a job they signed up for. That job is directed by a government who views itself as Team America World Police and is just about as ridiculous as Hollywood can dream up.
Not every one in a uniform is a hero. They…
IMS has a museum on site. Bet you my bottom dollar these wind up there.
It took 11 seasons because F1 artificially limits speeds through the rules. Not saying its a bad thing, but if the rulebook hadn’t changed to limit creativity the cars would have broken this long ago.
By your logic why can’t i put a massive steel sculpture on the street in front of my house? I promise i will keep its foot print smaller than a large truck.
Serious if the engine stops functioning.
Air Force One is whatever plane the President happens to be on at the time.
Not really. A plant would build cars in chunks. So if bob’s dealer orders his new sedan that sedan won’t get built until enough orders from that dealership are in the queue to be built at that factory. Once enough orders are in the plant schedules those cars to be built and ships them off on a transport the same as…
Problem with that is as a Millenial I don’t ever see myself buying HD. 15k bike? Why? If I had 15-20k lying around I’d buy a 90's viper because it was the poster on my wall as a kid.
I make good money. Own a home. Own a toy car and a truck now. HD is just overpriced and not worth it.
Tempting to trade up to a ND from my nc, but dem bills.
The highways are dilapidated because infrastructure is not sexy to politician’s. Billion dollar military boondoggle’s get them re-elected for being pro-defense. At least this system would probably run well for a decade or two. Then when it starts to get near end of life and turns to crap we can hopefully find the next…
