1st Gear: In theory, the economically correct thing to do would be for VAG to move some VW brand production to the same factories that make Skoda models and lay off some of those German workers.

I thought the book was about flowers?

A post-apocalyptic wilderness where high-octane gas is still available.

But then the HOA gets pissed.

And we just don’t care....

$100,000. The F-450 vs Merc S-Class comparison.

Am I a freak if I didn’t even click on the new Porsche record article, but I read and watched this entire thing?

The new ZL1 1LE got pretty close...

Well, it’s not motorsport, per se. It’s more like the Cannonball Run time (just in a more controlled environment and with far less danger to the general public). Also pointless: climbing Mt. Everest, trekking to the South Pole. Records are meant to be broken.

For reference, this time is 37 seconds faster than the 2010 911 GT2 RS, a full minute quicker than the 2004 911 GT3 RS, and 9 minutes & 14 seconds faster than a Trabant P50.

So it is fast for a production car, what is the fastest lap in a racecar, and does this car have a lap time comparable to a current race series?

It’s yellow. Only Lambos come in yellow. #facts

The Jones Act is terrible. It’s a major reason that Puerto Rico is bankrupt. The island could be a major shipping and trading hub, but it’s precluded from earning a living. Then what is supposed to drive its economy? Tourism alone isn’t enough.

I wonder what impact this will have on insurance and accidents in the next year or so?

Nice, more Saudis in Audis.

Behemoths with tiny asses like the BMW X6.

Now I know you might be thinking it’s that mistake of a bumper on the back, and you’re not wrong. It is terrible. But look down....way down. Low profile tires on trucks make me angry in a way best reserved for Netflix Original season finale cliff hangers. Ok, cool you bought a truck. I respect that. Hey, you use it as…

Lexus’ Predator face

Okay but that’s just the German language

I have no reason to want one of these. It would be a terrible decision. The fuel economy is apparently garbage; it probably wouldn’t fit in my garage; I never have any reason to drive off-road; I hardly ever need a pickup truck at all; it’s expensive; driving this thing to work and back every day would be idiotic.
