Standard YouTube Car Guy Progression:

I remember back when one of the Top Gear guys bought a Ford GT in 2005 and found that it was over the width limit for the Hammersmith Bridge. Funnily enough in the article he mentions that it’s “as wide as a Hummer.”

The EQS450+ weighs 5500lbs and goes 0-60 in 5.4 seconds.

But what’s a reason you WOULD make a screwdriver bit out of stainless?

When I bought a used Lincoln in Oklahoma, my sales guy spent most of the time we were together loudly complaining about the female sales agent at the desk next to him, including talking about how bad she is at her job and threatening her with a crescent wrench. She didn’t seem super jazzed to be there.

Check my history, not a Tesla stan. I’m a data stan, and I’m sharing some data. Model 3s absolutely wreck everyone else on an autocross course (look at the 2023 SCCA Nationals results), the Plaid or whatever are brutally fast in a straight line. Tesla has performance figured out.

Yes, the first gen 3.5 EcoBoost is the wrong one to buy, that’s why I went Coyote for my 2011. The lead frame and wildly inadequate factory trans fluid replacement schedules are known issues.

Rotaries are compact and produce good power per displacement, but significantly lag in BSFC. If you want to get a specific amount of power from a gasoline engine, the rotary is a compact way to do that, but not an efficient way to do it.

CyberTruck wins. Snow traction is a grip game and the best AWD system in town is worthless without grip.

My 2011 F-150 just turned over 292,000 miles so I think I’d stay on that train.

But the production versions were only 340hp at best, more than 100hp down on the Ferrari. I don’t know if you could swap on the JDM or LMP2 parts to get it up to 450+hp, but I’m interested to see what that actual cost would be.

The signs are occasionally befuddling to people who don’t understand the reference, causing them to take more mental energy off the act of driving. They’re calling you stupid, basically.

So this got me thinking - you can get a Ferrari California engine on eBay for about $15k.

The Focus ST wasn’t a track day car in stock form, but it was (and still is) a killer autocross car. In 2017 Focuses took 7 of the top 10 spots in G street, beating out its contemporary GTI, Mini, and Civic SI competitors. Even in 2023, on a platform that’s two decades old and going up against the latest GTI and Civic…

If you want to see some bad puns and poor animations,

They just need to slap a couple of Aeromotive A1000s on that bad boy and they should be good to go.

It’s an avenue for culture war propaganda, and with inflation down, gas prices down, grocery prices down, and the economy roaring, conservative think-tanks and strategists need every avenue they can find to stoke the culture war (see: migrant caravans, which always seem to show up right when a Democrat president is…

While technically the worst seller was the Tonale at 2,096, it gets a pass since its an all new model.

I learned a new term today.

Don’t worry, he’s just trying to gatekeep based on qualities that he (conveniently) meets.
