Hey bum Torchinsky, the hurricane isn’t hitting the Carolinas, it’s hitting Alabama! Failing Jalopnik probably staged the Jeep in the ocean too! ANOTHER Chinese car that can’t surf. SAD!

Some people watch pimple popping. David Tracy watches rusted out frame restorations.

Well, it’s keeping with tradition. The original Supra was ugly too, looked like and FD RX-7 that got stung by a swarm bees as was about to go into anaphylactic shock.  

Yeah, for a proper Torchinsky article their needs to be a part where the buses are charged by pedal powered generators at each seat that convert childhood obesity into electricity.

Rolled my eyes so hard I saw my own brain.

A year ago, the digital streaming service added The Fast and the Furious (very good), 2 Fast 2 Furious (bad) and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (objectively the best) to its lineup.

I see this is a true flaw of the MANUFACTURER -> PRESS -> CONSUMER

Thank you for typing this out loud.  It’s why I shed a tear every time I hear or see an LS-swapped car.

There are two kinds of people in the world – those who get the Wankel, and those who don’t.

That’s akin to saying a Tesla would be better with a V8. It wasn’t designed for it.

The key to the RX8 though was its packaging around the rotary.  You’d loose a lot by putting a conventional engine in it. 

Never officially “owned” one. My buddy that went off to College asked me to store and “clear the pipes” on his RX-8 his freshman year. At the time I was driving either a Diesel Suburban, Chevette, or a Fiero and would occasionally hop into his RX-8.

I’ve owned one. Drove it 78,000 miles. Never had a problem. I kept up on oil changes and fills, pre-mixed, warmed it up properly every time I drove it, took it to redline every time I drive it (critical for Wankel health), and let it cool properly before shutting it off every time. I’ve owned four Mazda rotaries in…

Does the Mazda3 understeer on the track? How badly? Is it the AWD or FWD one? Same question for the Veloster N, how much understeer? Also, how about torque steer for those 2?

1st Gear: another thing not often mentioned is that the current emissions timeline matches up pretty well with that of other nations, so building cars that meets those requirements allows for a larger global audience.

CARB and the EPA have been working together for a while to unify their rule making set since EPA phase II rules were rolled out in 2004. Phase 3A brought them even closer and the next round was supposed to pretty much unify the rulesets.

They did work together to simplify the regulations. California and the 12 states that follow California, along with 13 automakers, were in on the Obama agreement to increase fuel efficiency and emissions standards. That was working together to simplify the regulations.

Totally - why bother trying to stop any air pollution unless you stop every single instance of it at once?

What does this have to do with simplifying regulations? Everything was going according to plan before Trump decided to get involved. His people are the reason things are so complicated all of a sudden.
