Loans are not bailouts. They literally got lucky and signed contracts for lines of credit before it all disappeared in the meltdown.

DOE loans aren’t the same as a bailout. If they are, Nissan, Tesla and Fisker got bailouts too.

I passed one of those years ago in my Miata at NHMS. I then lost my brakes at the next turn and went agricultural right in front of it. No harm done except to my brakes.

I still find it weird that Ferrari & Porsche were bitching that the P1 was running in “Track mode” on a track. Also considering you get the track tyres with your purchase shouldn’t they be the default choice for you know a TRACK comparison.

But at a track like Portimao, both can be engaged in order to reach 285mph

Nope.

Thanks for the 1 paragraph respite from the Turtle Wax ads, Gawker media posts and Kinja Deals of the Day normally cluttering Jalopnik nowawdays.

I’m happy the latter is in past tense. There. I said it.

I’m surprised they’re running these wheels. Thought they were move for show than legit strength and performance?

Yes, for every positive Craigslist experience, there are hundreds more that end in death or other violence. That’s why the entire population of America has been murdered. Or, possibly, it’s the EXACT OPPOSITE CASE. Practice safe Craigslisting, but you still have odds on your side.

*cough* you’re thinking of the continental which is a different car *cough cough*

GOTDAMN!!! The front of that car is sexy as fuck. And twin turbo 400hp AWD... fuckin a, man, fuckin a.

I just went over there. HOLY FUCKING SHIT DAMN. That thing looks awesome.

Ok theirs this an all but can someon please mention theys a 400HP TWINTURBO AWD LINCOLN MKZ that’s actually worth looking at (go to their site) the press images suck but the sit has some dead ass sexy pics! ( I’m not joking, this actually is a Lincoln saver)

Comparing a bone stock car to a heavily modded one and deeming the bone stock one inferior for not being as engaging doesn’t seem very fair to me, and plays literally into the rose tinted “make cars from the past out to be better than they are” chicanery I was talking about. How does your dad’s 86 compare to a 997…

Fuck the die hards. If they had their way Porsche would have gone out of business long ago, selling track only 2 liter swing arm rear suspension SWB cars. I’m tired of them. Everyone has different tastes but the old “its new so its bad” trope is so played out. For fucks sake this is a 3150lb car that does 0-60 in…

I still like the original SRX the best - I dug the lifted slab sided wagon look more than the inflated Chrysler Pacifica minivan shape.

For sure the G-Wagen. It is a largely capable 4x4 that is bought by the uber rich and barely see a speed bump.

The SRT-4 (don’t call it a Neon) was for all intents and purposes a great car. Big, turbo power, optional real LSD, no mufflers, and a decent chassis.
