The crazy thing is that it reportedly took several years and multiple attempts to get the law passed.

It definitely is, the rest of my comment acknowledged that. Winters here generally coming and going later rather than being noticeably colder or warmer just lacks the *direct* through line to warmer ocean temps, so I’d still wait for someone smarter than me to explain it before I ruling out the admittedly low odds of a…

I think we skew more towards colder with less snow than you. Because we’re west of the lakes, it takes a very specific set of circumstances for us to get a good whacking of lake-effect snow. And while our highs across winter about the same, we’re also guaranteed at least a couple of 2-week stretches where it doesn’t…

Neutral: Here in Chicago, we’re currently in the middle of an alotted 24 hours of precipitation that was supposed to be like 75% snow, and 25% rain. It’s been reversed since last night. Huge buzzkill.

Oh, believe me, there are plenty of videos of people seeing how much forced induction these will take as well.

We can neither confirm nor deny this teacher addressed the student body the following day, telling them about how Tenerife was worse.

As a ‘16 GT owner, I’m seconding everything here, but adding a couple of my own points for context.

Unfortunately, I think what “grow a pair” really means here is “willingly lose money on a product that only like 6 people want”. But as long as we are dreaming, it should have air suspension too.

Some guy on youtube did this. Long aimless video, but general vibe was that it really liked to break its tires loose, but didn’t make it faster.

Airlines fighting tooth and nail over 25GB of digital audio storage is the most airline shit I’ve ever heard.

Oh hell yes. My really insane take is that there should be an OEM version of this, but only as a new Lincoln Mark IX. I’ve always thought that the revived Continental’s front clip would look good on an S550. They might not sell any, but it would be cool as hell.

President Joe Biden’s administration has repeatedly refused to endorse setting a date to phase out the sale of gasoline-only vehicles.

And further to that end, you can get a Mustang GT out the door for $15K less. It’ll have a bigger and more comfortable interior, be faster in a straight line, and handling that most enthusiast would call more than adequate (even if its not as good as the much lighter Supra).

Everything about this thing is freaking awesome. Not just because of the jalopy-ness of it, but because its existence and continued success basically implies that the functionality of 1/2-ton trucks as hasn’t actually needed to improve in like 15 years. 

I’d include the RX-7 as one of the most relevant examples too. 

You answered your own question in the fifth paragraph. Everyone one of these things got ABUSED.

The ***entire*** Toyota lineup has had the design language of an angry carp for like 5 years, its ridiculous. 

Right? The funny thing is that if you held a gun to my head, I’d still say my “dream car” is a Blue C5 Corvette (pop-up headlights master-race). But because I’ve become so attached to this specific Mustang, I’ll never move on from it unless some extraneous circumstance forces me to.

I I’ve owned a 2016 GT since 2018, and am exactly what you described: I grew up in a Chevy famlily, but bough the Mustang when I was in my 20's and not in anymore debt, solely on the premise that it was the most “retail” muscle/sports car, and thus the easiest to live with.

Fair! Moral of the story is Toyota is again extremely weird about how they run allocation. Regional sales are the primary driver, and the dealers themselves don’t really have a say in it.
