How do you know a given owner did that for their car? How do you know if any other classic owner didn’t? Seems like a weird prejudice to me as someone who did fully restore an early ‘65 Mustang.

None, because even a cookie-cutter tri-five Chevy is lightyears more interesting than the greyscale jellybean crossovers that make up modern traffic. I even get excited seeing some Boomer driving his rusted out 1978 Cadillac down the road.  Even if it’s not my taste, I’m happy to see someone keeping an old car alive.

Have you seen my house? Someone is going to have to clean it eventually and it’s not going to be me.

On a normal mustang, yes. On the GTD? The first modification will be to prep it for storage, stick it in a warehouse, and never drive it.

Yeah I said this on a related article - for what this costs I’d take the new ZR-1 and buy a nice used GT350R and still have enough left over for a nice dinner out.

Sounds great. At one track that I go to they allow spectators in pit road right up on the wall. When the supercharged Camaros turn on to the front straight and accelerate past you, the supercharger whine first, followed by the bellowing exhaust as they pass, is just amazing. I love an Italian NA v10 or V12 but this is…

“Tesla not showing its tech is most likely a sign that it is so far advanced that they don’t feel comfortable having it visible to the average show goer. Definitely buy stock now.” - Tesla investors, probably

That is a ROUGH 40.

How do you know the other car had adaptive cruise control on and it wasn’t just bad driving?

most customers don’t appreciate technology [...] unless they can see a clear benefit to them

If you think that Accord interior was bad, you must have not seen what Camrys looked like at the time.

even with major issues Apollo 13 was able to return to earth.

My state has oversight. I would have to look for the exact number, but it is a hard value from the road surface to the bottom of the bumper. It does say something like ‘structural bumper’ or ‘force-reducing section of the bumper’, not the plastic fascia.
So, something like 34.5 inches? from the road; it doesn’t have to…

Saying they are losing $44k on every EV sale is highly misleading. /They are taking their total costs and write-downs of assets and applying it to every car sold. That is very different than the actual cost per vehicle for material labor and overhead.

Rolling Coal. This is just ignorant. Nobody wants to breathe in a cloud of diesel smoke.

Wait your teacher’s face

Really? “you couldn’t of covered” What you meant was “couldn’t’ve” which is a multiple contraction (is that a thing?) for “could not have” and not “could not of”.

On the one side, here’s RuPaul competently and safely changing the tire of his beloved classic car. On the other side, there’s a dude shooting up his Harley because of acronyms and terms he doesn’t quite understand. The duality of motoring enthusiasts.

As a lib, I feel so owned after seeing this video.

Regarding the plastic engine covers, take yours off and flip it over. It likely has some fabric padding underneath. That’s to help keep excess engine noise and vibrations from entering the cabin, especially on 4 cylinder engines.
