I am certain he believed it was 5:00 somewhere.

This man will go by the wayside with a speed that will make that Cadillac guy look like a lifer. He merely seems to exist as the proof of concept for the Peter Principal. This will not end well and that grieves me. I own two old Jaguars and have learned to love them quirks and all.

What current model do you view as “young man’s cars”?

That mindset is playing into the financials dialogue. I made my living for 40 years encouraging this while my rational mind was in complete rejection mode. A lease - regardless of tax credential - is paying twice for the same equipment. I guess the same people who put money into savings accounts instead of a mutual…

The problem with being liberal in today’s society is that we are generally forgiving and introspective. While looking at the others when spouting what even they know to be untruths, we think to ourselves -”they cannot really be that stupid”? Yet their strategy of repeating the lie enough times seems to give it legs…

BMW spends billions for chassis development and the buyer believes some guy in his warehouse/garage has a better idea? I reject all suspension-modded cars on principle.

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain”.

All I know is fleet sales tanked in our zone upon intro. 

Why is it that every solution to an automotive problem involves sweating and pain? 

I felt this way about the Miata until a friend allowed me to drive his spec Miata race car. The only relative similarity was that they both had four tires. I also feel that the S2000 was way over-rated. Very difficult to perpetually need to have the tach at 7500 and above to get any kind of mojo going. The female of…

Regardless of the negativity, this is not only a sound concept, it is also a bargain. I do not think the average gearhead understands the difficulty of having a car of this type ending up going down the road squarely. The geometry is a bitch, and not easily made durable. The Sprint V8 is a homerun, too.

I should probably apologize in advance for this opinion. After watching these races this weekend, I found myself most entertained by the Indy cars on the narrow slippery track. As a man of a certain age, I still miss 19,000 rpm and the cylinder counts of more than six, but the quality of the product in F1 has declined…

The slicktop is the most desirable, not the T-top. With a manual, you could make a decent living selling them to Z fanatics. If they existed in the wild.

I’m stuck in Podunk, Alberta with 3500 religious zealots and I see more new Broncos on a daily basis than I did in Portland. Please explain in less than 500 words. You can include Ineos rationalization if so inclined.

A common refrain from all gearheads. Modern safety standards have seemingly altered the Darwinian equation. 

Try the Jaguar XJ series 2005- to body change. The wine colored seating is outstanding.

These “series” are for low knowledge dilettantes. Like a football watcher needing to have downs explained. Anyone who got any education from Drive had no clue and will lose interest as soon as new Kardashian episodes are aired.

The 4R70 in my Lincoln has gone 160,000 miles of fun.

That tank appears to be either SL or CL of that vintage. My memory was the CB’s had a more rounded design? Of course, the memory is fifty years aged, so your results may vary.

3814 pounds? Why? My four door X358 doesn’t come in much more, with about the same power. I had to re-read that statistic.
