Thank you for this. I enjoy a good car show for whatever. There’s a guy that brings his old 80's Pontiac (a mild sport variant model) to the local show. He never wins and he knows this, but he tells a great story about his (now deceased) wife used to drive it to her work and then passed it through the family. Now it’s…

I’m glad someone here gets it. This article is basically The Problem With Car Culture. Why bother going to a car show if you’re annoyed by seeing cars you don’t like? I like seeing purple hot rods, classic Mustangs, restomod, corvettes, beaters, etc. If something doesn’t spark my interest, then I move on.

Ah cool, almost an entire slideshow about gatekeeping. Neat.

That’s kinda silly. Car shows are a social event where you get the opportunity to see interesting stuff - getting to see some historical vehicles as well as modifications on some cars that reflect the owner’s tastes and creativity. It’s part craft show, part social gathering. I can’t get behind the argument that…

Honestly, the only cars I’m sick of seeing at car shows are the guys who park their 2018 Nissan Sentra in the lot that’s reserved for show cars ebcause they didn’t realize a car show was going on.

The sad look is so much better

A few years ago, I went to a classic car show and saw a guy wiping down his brand-new Mustang. It still had the temp tags on it. Ridiculous.

Corrupt Chicago police is about as surprising as a rainy day in Seattle.  Unless the cops start going to jail or losing pensions this will continue.  

You have only yourselves to blame! The police wouldn’t have to hide doing all the things they shouldn’t be doing if you didn’t insist that they didn’t do them!

Agreed on the Infiniti, their lineup is basically dated luxury vehicles that were subpar when new.

Even 250 miles will get you to the outer bands of a hurricane, which isn’t nearly as bad as the epicenter. And if you heed warnings and forecast, you can easily be out of the area before it hits anyway.

Plus I can easily keep two Jerry cans of gas in my garage. Not so easy to have a couple buckets of electricity.

Safety: I think their point is that in a true emergency, electricity and gas will be hard to come by. They’d rather have a car that can reliably get them 500 miles away from the epicenter and not 250 miles.

Depreciation: then go buy a slightly used EV that has already been hit with the depreciation hammer. That’s what I did and with the $4k tax credit it was a fantastic deal!

Suzuki’s been burned, but I’m kinda suprised some other manufacturer hasn’t imported the Jimny under their own brand. Car manufacturers do this sort of thing from time to time. I bet Honda could make it work. They once sold a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo as the Honda Passport.

The Drive somehow messed up its reporting even though the original source at AutoNews got it right. This is not a fine at all. The owner sued, winning compensatory damages and punitive damages. Punitives are paid to the winning party; they are not a fine paid to the state. The truck buyer’s total award is about $88k,…

I’m not a lawyer but,

They’ve always been powered by the J-series V6. They’ve been making over 250hp for nearly 20 years. Back when I used to read actual magazines I recall C&D called it the minivan for “NASCAR dads”.

Haha lived in rural VT with a fit and a family of 4 lol. 3 of us 6 feet and over. Other than mud season it was always fine. Unless you’re morbidly obese and simply can’t fit in it the car is just fine. I’ve also moved a sofa with one.

We've got a Real 'Murican™ here guys, look out. Needs a lot of capability to haul that swingin' dick.
