I think many of the people who responded to you missed your point. People seem to forget to look outside their own preconceived notions and accept that other people find different things important. I completely understand the idea of coming home after a long hard days work to a nice, clean, pretty neighborhood just as…

Everyone, everywhere, should live in densely populated areas.

Its bad for the environment, ... its bad for our infrastructure, its bad for public health and its basically what caused a lot our issues with crime and segregation over the past few decades.

Urban sprawl is literally like the worst thing in the world.

Anyone who says engine braking is bad is probably confused with clutch braking, which IS bad. If you simply let off the throttle, or downshift properly, by rev matching properly, then no harm. If, however, you downshift without blipping the throttle, and let the clutch sync up your now faster moving transmission input…

This is way better than the Cherokee David here drives every day! 

I do not envy the trials you and your colleagues are going through right now: perception, focus, and expectation of journalism seems to have totally spiraled out of control, and much of the criticisms are nonsense. Journalism is a pretty broad term encompassing everything from opinion pieces to reporting on a high…

These days pretty much every production car has brakes that people would have considered race quality in the 80s

I think you go a bit far. 1/2 the stopping distance? Quick search yielded “braking distance at 60mph 137 ft vs 104 ft”

I think the idea that “having a capable car in daily commute serves no purpose” to be completely erroneous. Yes, driving a 707HP Hellcat on the crammed 405 is certainly not going to see a lot of use of that supercharger on there, but that doesn’t necessarily make driving it in traffic a bad idea.

I feel like this type of guy usually responds more viscerally to modifications that actually improve the objective capability or look of the car. And I think that comes as a defense mechanism:

I am really happy they chose you to review this car. Couldn’t think of anyone who fit the bill better. Congratulations!

If you really want to make the most hardcore of these guy’s heads blue screen, go find a mopar guy and tell him you are putting an LS into a hemi Cuda. Full disclosure: he may try to legitimately kill you.

This is the crowd that pays double for the exact same car just because of paperwork and a tiny little metal plate with numbers on it. And to their credit, I think using the rarity of numbers matching-ness for financial gain has about as much sense as any other non-essential financial vehicle (pun intended).

Thanks! I worked hard on trying to get it just right.

Sadly, you are not the first, nor will you be the last, person that this will happen to. Can’t say I’ve ever had someone buy something from me and try to sell it for nearly 40x the price, but I am all too familiar with the jack-hole whole buys something from me and then relists at significantly higher coupled with a…

I’m telling you, it was a fluke. Rogue engineers when the execs were out.

Shhh. Honda might hear you, and they will come for you in the night for standing up to the FWD agenda...

I think you would have been a lot happier starting your camaro collection back then..

You could probably pick up a base for pretty cheap
