An attorney for the HOA told ABC that “she believes the HOA has a right to send vendors onto private property to enforce rules outlined in the HOA’s covenants and declarations.”

It’s just donning on me now that Honda might secretly have the same stance on EV’s that Toyota does: Not really willing to put the effort in, but might do it when SSB’s are a thing. The difference is that instead of vocally opposing an EV shift and crapping out the bZ4x, Honda kept their mouth shut and then put their…

“Yes customs agent, you got me: I am a Japanese man in sweatpants who has chosen being a mother-fucking Formula 1 driver as a fake reason for being here and cover for whatever illegitimate thing you think that I am doing.”

One of my favorite little beliefs is that if actual Jesus came back, Christians would be horrified to realize he’s actually a Middle-Easterner, and would look like a Westerner’s idea of Muhammad more than anything else.

Seriously, how long have people been making purpose-built drag cars off this platform?

The first thing I thought of when I saw the thumbnail was “dear god, that Mustang might weigh half as much of the Challenger.”

Oh yeah, that was big one too. Major moment that made a lot of normal non-car people go “wait, what?”

IMO 2018ish would be the cutoff date, maybe 2017. I remember that being the point where using AV promises as a stock pump became a lot more obvious to non-car people, as well as a lot of through reporting on ripping off government bodies for grants. That was when it kind of grew out of places like this site and into…

Another thing that was an old Regular Car Reviews gag: Guys who just can’t WAIT to show you their knife.

I’m more towards your end than OP, but this is gonna be a whole lot tougher than the paint. The structure is indeed probably fine, but interior fitout requires a lot of work from the trades with the highest hourly rate. The dealbreaker is probably how much of the mechanical systems are still functional. Do the ballast…

“John Quadrozzi Jr” is just so goddam perfect. I don’t know what’s gonna happen here, but I bet it’s gonna be funny. Y’know, in a botched business venture by Chris Moltisanti kinda way. 

*rolls eyes, hits the star*

Somewhat related to that issue, somebody on twitter actually posted the stats on how traffic stops never rebounded since the drastic drop off in 2020. There’s an honest to goodness question if that was just a subconscious shift by the police, or a legitimate ripple effect from George Floyd’s murder. There’s a lot of…

Fully understanding what has caused this to get so much worse the last few years/decades I think is way more complicated than anyone will ever fully embrace. Somewhere on the list is definitely a truck driver shortage that probably means less well-trained people are driving them.

Aside from hot models like the Blackwing cars and the Escalade, most of Cadillac’s internal-combustion lineup is forgettable.

That this thing had marginally better performance stats than its competitors while otherwise being forgettable crap is just a brilliant little microcosm of everything that was wrong with Cadillac during this period.

I the irony of this whole piece is that the Northstar V8 was framed as some kind of cool thing to be appreciated for when in reality, its the reason why most of these were off the road in 10 years or less.

I couldn’t agree more. I think the new models still look pretty cool, but the shock value just hasn’t been there as it was with the Veyron. It just feels like the numbers don’t matter any more. 

Also kinda drives home the point that all the appeal for this is the novelty of: “we put a viper engine in (x)“. The reality is that you can get a mopar crate motor that makes more power and takes up less space to do whatever you want this thing to do.

When inputting the part number, they made a mistake on a single digit. That single digit was enough to place the order for the Viper V10.
