America is going to be great again. The Great Smog, the Great Depression, the Great War... They’re all coming back. It’ll be great.

I heard one time about a mechanic who accidentally got some brake fluid in his mouth, and realized he liked the taste. It started a little bit at a time, but a couple of weeks later, he was drinking four or five bottles a day, having developed a preference for DOT 3. His friends and coworkers held an intervention to…

1st Gear: Tesla’s Q3 Win

You gave semi-detailed explanations breaking down how each example innovated, except for Tesla. For Tesla, you reduced it down to, “Tesla had money, and Tesla spent it.”

I guess I genuinely don’t follow this line of reasoning from you. You misquoted my reply by lumping all the examples you gave into one, without addressing my explanations of the true innovation that most of them actually had. That seems highly disingenuous as a way to have a discussion.

Not all change is good change.

Spoken like a true non-car fan who suddenly noticed cars at all, only because tech blogs started writing about them (and note: only on a theoretical level).

“you’ve been (nearly) hit by, you’ve been (nearly) struck by a smooth criminal.”

It’s “It’s.” :)

That’s a bit like saying ‘when Harrison Ford dies, he’s not a big loss to the space and aeronautics industry because he completely misrepresented space travel and the engineers in it.’

Shit, I guess I better go get some hand sanitizer! I’ll get some for the thousands of employees who have joined GM since the ignition switch fiasco who are dedicated to providing people with the best cars in the world as well. Maybe I’ll even set up sanitizer showers since we’re all apparently just shitty employees…

Was just there this month. Such a good time, everyone who owns an ST should make it a point to go asap. Make sure you sign up early since spots fill up quick and the free admission is only available for 1 year after purchase of your new ST.

It’s a first gen Highlander.

Don’t forget its twin, the Mercury Mariner. The Escape has those protrusions on the rear bumper and I’m not seeing a hint of that in the photo. Also, with whatever I can make out of the emblem above the license plate - the bottom of the emblem dips lower into the license plate area on the Mercury than it does on the…

If seeing a police car makes people obey they law and the police were actually for law enforcement and not revenue, shouldn’t they all be marked, easily noticed cars? If hidden in speed traps everyone still speeds, but out in the open nobody does. What is their purpose, really?

waiitt you arent going to buy a gt350 “because some people who drive  old mustangs are stupid” somehow i get the feeling that’s not the only thing keeping you from buying a gt350.

It’s trickle-down car-conomics. A large portion of Wranglers and a surprising percentage of Raptors will be used and properly abused - just not by their first owners. We need the poseurs to peacock it up so that someone, someday, can buy the purpose built vehicle at a price point where they don’t feel bad using it…

For a few years between 2011-2014 I was “managing” emotionally (being a family friend and a father figure to him) a young and upcoming brazilian driver in FIA GT. I travelled the world where the GT races would take us. Best experience of my life, he won a couple of races and also 2nd on some very very prestigious…

Yes, in historical terms, it will happen overnight, and it will happen globally. Mining vehicle operators in Myanmar and Nigeria will be out of work, not long after shipworkers in Stockhom, and Uber Drivers in NYC--all within a relatively compact timeline...and the businesses that depend on these people as customers…

Adam made his millions by quietly cranking out project after project for over two decades. I listened to him on loveline when I was in 4th grade, then got to do a TV show with him. The guy is a work machine. Podcasts, books, movies, stand up, radio, the list goes on. Adam taught me the “20 hoses into 1 barrel method…
