Love the new styling but has there been any word on weight? I love that it’s available with a clutch pedal but if it’s significantly heavier than the Supra it’s a bit of a Sophie’s Choice. Right in the 3,000 pound neighborhood or less, I hope?

Yeah, the Pantera is basically the whole reason I wish you could buy the Voodoo as a crate engine.

Wow. Will Oldham really bulked up for this role.

Personally, I’ve started following all the former writers on Twitter. I want to see where they land so I can go back to reading their stuff. Once G/O Media have (inevitably) lost every good writer they had on staff at the time they took over, I can finally be done looking at their stupid website. The sad thing is, the…

That’s probably to do with the point where the annual cost of maintenance starts to accelerate. I paid off my ‘09 Rabbit (purchased in summer ‘08) after 4 years and wound up keeping it for another 7. That car needed nothing besides scheduled maintenance until it had been in service for maybe 9 years, at which point it…

I’d love it if someone could explain to me how the fucking morons who currently operate this site intend to keep any of their great OG writers on board for more than 6 months.

This site succeeded because it had a point of view, and because it had, until now, managed to avoid much of the blight that makes most of the…

Fuck me, that sucks. At least they’ve still got the Root and Jezebel, for now, and I’ll still come here for Deadspin and Jalopnik, but Splinter was the best opinion site since Gawker, in my opinion - I can get the news anywhere but this was consistently a page where people would discuss the news in a way that felt…

I really hope this has nothing to do with the lack of new content on the Splinter page today... but it probably does.

Not much has changed in the polls but Mayor Pete does seem to be attracting more cash from donors looking for a neoliberal to support.

Thanks! I’m probably the last person on earth who didn’t already know about it. Appreciate your patience.

Yes, my mileage is likely to be an outlier since my commute has little in the way of traffic, stop signs or lights, and the speed limit runs from 35 to 50 mph. That’s how it was with my Rabbit too, but I have also found that the calibration of the car’s inputs (throttle, mostly) seems to encourage a more laid-back…

The EPA ratings might look similar, but in my experience what you actually experience as an owner can be very different. Our CX-9 is rated higher in city traffic, but we average around 16.5 mpg (that vehicle is used primarily around town, but still). Meanwhile my 2017 Mazda6 6-speed averages 33.5. For reference, my…

Shelby GT350 (Voodoo) engine in a DeTomaso Pantera. Somebody has to make that happen.

Anybody else listening to the press conference right now? I don’t have video, but here’s what I’m imagining as I listen:

I hope you’re right, but I expect that KC will be picking him up. I mean, why not?

Also Masshole (though not by birth, still a Pats fan though): seconded. Or at least cut him.

Oh, man. The yinzers would love that.

So... you’re not a fan, then?

It sorta blows my mind that, with all the perfectly good reasons there are for trashing Biden, this is what we’re talking about.

I think I watched Cars.com for something like 4 months before I finally found a CPO’d one within 150 miles. They’re not easy to find, and the fact that the people who want them are also really adamant about getting a manual transmission means they don’t really last long (if the ones I watched that were too far away…
