I am a child of the 70's ... all the cars that yoots of today mock, despise, laugh at ... they were cars I desired and aspired to as a youngun. First car I ever owned was a well-used 76 Dodge Aspen R/T (slower than dogshit but so so so cool looking). Favorite car I ever owned (out of about 10 cars now in my lifetime)…

So .... the moral of the story is “those who can do, do; those who can’t do, teach”.

Too many people on this site haven’t even visited rural America and have no idea just how big or car focused it is.

That NPR article is an utter load of SJW crap. Just because some asshole created racist lyrics to an existing and NON RACIST melody, that does NOT make the melody racist or based on racism or any other bullshit like that.

No no no no no ... ALL body kits are bad. Period. They all always make the car uglier, or at least stupider looking. Any car, any kit.

Umm ... hydrogen “powered” cars ARE electric cars. The H2 is used to generate electricity which then powers the motors. There is no “somehow” necessary, it’s not an ‘either or’ condition.

I do not know the laws in LA regarding the electrified kiddy scooters (i.e., are they required to be on the roadway? Are they allowed on sidewalks?) but personally I think they should be 100% banned from sidewalks. Users of these dangerous toys are not pedestrians. In most of California it is illegal for bicycles to…

The gig economy is crushing idiots and enriching those smart enough to understand that you can’t make a decent living as an “at will ride hail driver” but you can make money by exploiting stupidity. Nobody is forced to be an uber/lyft driver. People sign onto the program without understanding what they are getting…

More paranoid ranting by safety nazis / clueless individuals. How many people do you know that are adults? Guess what that means ... they all survived childhoods where they were carted around in vehicles that are far less safe than the safest vehicles available today. Clueless individuals are all twisted up about…

Wow, does everyone here seriously lack the imagination to see this?

Literally nothing you describe is unique to young people.

Yeah, our dearest author coulda spent an extra minute to add some clarifying context. I went to the cop’s tweeter and watched it there ... the small sedan was in the HOV lane and the hatchback comes rolling up on sedan’s tail, then Mr (or Ms) Hatchback suddenly swerves to the right, passes the sedan, cuts back in…

The GS definitely holds value better than many other Beemers but at this price you could find a much newer more capable example.

Why is it that reports such as this always always always imply if not downright claim that it’s the fault of the food seller that the lardass with heart disease keeps buying the most unhealthy options available? FFS, people, it’s time to fucking sack up and take responsibility for one’s own choices. Nobody makes…

impressive job of taking some serious missteps with its heritage nameplates<snip> now it’s coming for the Trailblazer name

The C2 is the pinnacle of Corvette styling.

Oh lord, I had totally forgotten that Maddox existed! I used to read his shyte religiously 15 or so years ago, lol. I even bought one of his books, the ‘Alphabet of Manliness’ if I recall correctly. Whatever. And whadaya know, his page is still up and being periodically updated.

Umm ... did you not read the comment you replied to? The gas engine is a ‘range extender’. It is used solely to generate electricity. It does not provide any motive force to this vehicle. Maybe it’ll “drink gas like an alcoholic” but you won’t be hurting for horses or torques since those will be coming from the…
