I really wasn’t making a comparison, I was just being outraged that a fucking dog has been shown more compassion and dignity than a whooooooole lot of black people.

Fuck your imaginary mentally ill person hopping on top of your car and screaming about Hitler. Charles Kinsey was shot by a police officer while laying…

Good to know that random stray dogs are shown more respect and dignity by the police than human fucking beings who happen to have dark skin.

“The idea of thousands of inert mechanical parts working in synchronous motion to create power has much more of a “soul” to it than a flow of electrons from a storage bank to an output device.” 

So what!? You think that the Iraq/Afghanistan conflicts were a worthwhile endeavor because they “only” cost $1.8 Trillion!? Fuck you! I don’t care if they cost five hundred bucks, any level of expenditure would have absurdly wasteful; not to even mention the loss of human life.

Go step on a fucking landmine and then…

It’s much more tire-dependent than power-dependent. If you have super-skinny tread, a hard compound, and lots of air pressure you can do “burn-outs” with virtually no power at all. 20 horsepower would be more than enough for, say, a 185/75R14 tire with a treadwear rating of 700+ and a good 50+ PSI of tire pressure.

That’s the noble point to make, but I would also suggest that Dan Donovan, like so many of his ilk, is an inarticulate shit-for-brains that’s only capable of parroting the talking points handed down to him by his superiors. Donovan didn’t debate Gisele Mendez that day because he isn’t capable of doing so, even if his…

Horror of horrors, I can’t even take the blame. That’s brutal.

Jesus.

We don’t need to be constantly dour.

+1, a small crossover and/or 2nd gen Model S might make more sense if Tesla was run by GM rather than a Bond villain.

+1, nothing special and I bet a very high viscosity, but you’ll be filling the thing by the bucket-full!

“Would be cool to see one in a Flyin’ Miata.” 

Bill Cardell, the big cheese dog himself, was actually approached by General Motors about being one of the first to receive their LT1 crate engine as part of the development program for the new ND chassis V8 conversion. Bill polled Flyin’ Miata’s existing customers, who…

Well just look at the shape of it: those creases that integrate the back glass into that crazy aerodynamic fairing on the roof. Even if its just plastic and not actually glass, that’s still got to be an incredibly difficult part to produce. If it actually is made of glass then my estimate of “more than $20K” is…

Fuck the engine, how about that magnesium Hewland transmission? I’m sure it’s not as expensive as the engine, but still, $50K for a manual trans is somehow even more impressive to me than $100K for an engine. I’d be absolutely shocked to learn that the drivetrain for this car costs even a penny less than $200K.

It would be now, today, but when autonomous cars truly start to take over? When it’s a case of legislate for stricter driver testing or have no human drivers at all? When autonomous cars become cheap enough for the need for transportation no longer trumps the need for higher standards?

How about we just keep raising the standards for testing and licencing human drivers until their crash rate reaches parity with autonomous cars?

Don’t even begin to say it isn’t possible, because it absolutely is. There are professional drivers out there with millions of miles under their belts without ever having…

Oh my god, seriously! That has to be my least favorite modern styling trend. It is sooooo rare these days for a good looking car, especially a performance car, to come out that doesn’t have huge fake grille openings. That was one of the main factors that led my brother to buy his current car: a BK1 Hyundai Genesis…

I have a huge soft spot for these things as my dad drove one for years and years. ‘97 model with the “Autobahn Package,” which was a rarely selected option. It was pretty decrepit by the time I made it to high school and it wound up becoming the car I drove most often back then. I got into a pretty good amount of…

Already got the tire stockpile started for next year!
