Would their “slow, sad wind down into automaker nothing” make them a Mitsubishi Zero?

Yep. Take a roller coaster on the top of a hill. It has potential energy and very little kinetic energy (speed). At the bottom, it has converted the potential energy to kinetic energy. However, some of that energy is also converted to heat with friction of the wheels and heating up the air with drag. So, it doesn’t…

My driver’s ed teacher was known as a bit of a perv. I didn’t believe it until we drove past two 12 year old girls and he said “look at that”. I said “they’re a bit young for me” and he responded “if they’re old enough to bleed, they’re old enough to breed”.

The person who administered my first road test was a very large woman and I took my test in my sisters dodge neon. She barely fit in the car and I had to help her put her seatbelt on. It started raining halfway through. She had me parallel park behind a car that was halfway up on the sidewalk and I couldn’t see well…

Any death is a tragedy, but lets look at statistics and numbers. This USA Today article ( Fact check: How many unarmed Black men did police kill in 2019? (usatoday.com) says that 25 unarmed Black men were killed by police in 2019. You can argue percentages all you want, but look at the actual numbers. If African…

There is no crash test data for the charming car, but GM says that 57 percent of the car’s body consists of high-strength steel.

I like Torch’s maxed-out Soul, but if you instead put a sliding rear door it’d make a handsome successor to the Mazda5!

See you at the slide show tomorrow! :)

It wasn’t even all of ‘73.  Early production 1973 GTs still had GT taillights instead of Kadett.  Personally I prefer the GT style.

GT’s are still cheap enough in general that no one year is “more desirable” in any measurable manner.  Some people prefer the early cars with solid lifter engines that make a bit more…

I don’t know.... they kinda remind me of the tail lights of the 1973 opel GT...

Wasn’t there an issue (might be only a rumor) with one of the original Cobras? One got damaged long time ago and got a quarter of the chassis replaced as a result. Someone found that damaged quarter of the chassis (apparently with a VIN) in a junk yard and built a new car around it. So now 2 cars exist with identical…

We have M5 Grand Touring, the one with the leather seats. The problem is that the leather is perforated, so the “moisture” still gets inside and is quite hard to clean.

I second Mazda5 choice. We have one in our household and are very happy with it. Did MazdaSpeed3 front brakes, rear JB Racing sway bar and it corners better than my Audi. I will not discuss rust issues while living in Chicagoland....

Yes, I really wanted a stick with my Mazda5 but couldn’t get one in the highest trim level (which I needed for the leather seats because babies are...moist). Thieves may break into a vehicle with a manual in order to steal the contents, but they’ll never drive it away.

Are you me? My rocket missed the moon and is tumbling back to earth...

I’d have more fun with it.
