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’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…

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…

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…

Ok, increase the the gas guzzler tax on new vehicles. Make new low MPG vehicles more expensive so fuel sipping cars will be more financially attractive; but if you want a new car that chugs gas, just pay to play.

No. A higher gas tax is unfair to the poor.

The median vehicle transaction price in the US is like $33-34K.

My mind is boggled at the comments I’m reading down here. Everything from “he’s an asshole,” to “he doesn’t care about his kids safety.”

What. The. Fuck. Are you people serious?!

1. The kids seem to be having fun. Hell, I’d love to try this challenge. I dunno any kid that wouldn’t find this amusing.

2. The dad seems to…

This is really key I think. BMW, and other traditional ICE manufacturers, don’t NEED an EV. They’ll mess with them, because they want to have something credible ready once the parameters and market for EVs shakes out, and there is real mass demand. No need for them to be pioneers right now, the likes of Tesla can…

This is simply not true.

TESLA is smarter than everyone else (by a wide margin). Amazing and revolutionary too. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS!

There are plenty of electric-only cars that aren’t doing well (Smart Car, Nissan Leaf, Chevy Spark), but that doesn’t define the EV/Hybrid segment.
