Did you wake up this morning and decide to be a dick or does it just come naturally to you?

Seems everyone who is jumping down your throat has likely never shipped a car. I’ve done it twice. Both times expensive. One time went without a hitch, the second time I was glad I had doing insurance. But it still makes me hesitant to ever ship again.

And this is why autonomous cars are a seriously bad idea. Brakes are only one part of a complex algorithm that has to be essentially flawless.

CR-Zs are great after ripping out the electric motors and 1.5li engine then swapping in a K20A.

That’s...not a bad take by Hachigo at all. He’s right that there are numerous hurdles to an EV replacing a gas-powered car at this time, and it’s not something that looks primed to change within the next decade barring an unprecedented investment into global infrastructure.

This is the decade when automakers said, “fuck a gear shifter.” None of these things actually save space, are more convenient, look cool or are safer (RIP Anton Yelchen). Plus there’s no place to put your arm when you lean back.

Neutral: Tablets atop the dash. 

I’d watch this ANYTIME over a Formula-E race.

It depends on what you want. If what you want is the latest gizmos and a fresh new car smell, then buy new. It’s also the best bet for cars with shallow depreciation curves.

I could have bought a new Camaro for $50k, instead I bought a 2018 for $30k, it’s a better looking design and there’s an extra $20k to spend on racing it.

Automatic transmission in a sports car is an automatic crack pipe.

the 914 doesn’t deserve any more cache than the Fiero or X1/9

Can’t do an automatic in a Corvette, sorry I don’t make the rules.

The quotes from Christian Meunier doesn’t talk about any of that. He’s not expounding on the benefits in performance of EVs. None of his statements are about instant torque or mechanical simplicity being a boon to off-roading culture. They are all literally lip service to the green energy, save the world from oil, and…

So, who ever is currently in charge of Chevrolet’s design team (I suspect Michael bay) needs to be fired and has no business doing this.

Start buying annoying crossovers, please.

I drive my AMGs across the country at least twice a year. Usually takes me about 6 days solo. This sounds like massive fun. Theres plenty of space in this country for people to do this too. I dont get the hate.

Dear troll in the greys, you must have an issue with reading comprehension so you may want to re-read my post before offering up your unsolicited criticism. I proposed using a modified M550d for the run and only used the relative fuel economy of my X5d for comparison. If you look at Audi’s successful endurance racing…

If we properly educated American drivers about lane etiquette and, well, driving, there’s no reason our interstate highways couldn’t be a fast as the German Autobahn. They’re designed for aircraft landings and troop transport, after all.

Sigh.
