Valiant effort to present a ‘what if’ scenario. While Champ Car folded in 2008 because the key stakeholders no longer wanted to subsidize the series, the IRL was near collapse as far back as 2005 because they lost Chevrolet and Toyota as engine manufacturers and series benefactors at the end of the season.

Because of…

-clicks car ad-

won’t someone think of the forgotten boomers, that hard working class that pulled up every ladder after they climbed it and told the next generation, “we got ours, tough shit for you guys.”

But Boomers, you can wear branded Corvette hats and polos and white New Balance runners in any Corvette. You can fit any Corvette with chromed OEM wheels, Lambo door hinges, and listen to Rush Limbaugh in any Corvette. You can be racist and myopic from behind the wheel of any car, regardless of where its engine may…

And just like *that* I went from complete indifference about this Corvette to actually rooting for it and looking at my finances to see if I could afford one on my modest salary. I can’t. Yet.

Dear boomers. You are dying off, you aren’t spending money on Corvettes anymore, GM doesn’t give a shit about you, they are making a car that Gen Xers and so on will want to buy.

Price is a big reason
Base price on an NSX is $157k
Base price on a 488 is $253k
Base price on a Huracan is $261k
Base price on a 720s is $285k

The NSX competes more with the Mercedes GT in price and the Aston Martin Vantage

My biggest complaint with the NSX is the 3800lb weight

I doubt many people are cross-shopping an exotic mid-engined 2-seater and a hopped up Camaro.

That’s the dumbest take, seriously. I’m so tired of it.

And this is the problem with semi-autonomous vehicles, it encourages lazy and dangerous driving. People were already morons before they thought their car would do all this shit for them, now we’re essentially just challenging them to reach peak moron.

Love that the CRV comes to a full stop then Punts the guy anyway for walking in the traffic lane. Good on you Honda.

I already have no qualms about cutting off teslas in traffic because I know they will stop for me and not hit me.

How long until we just walk in front of cars because we know they will stop?

why can’t drivers just see humans and brake for them? humans are easy to distinguish from other things, and the brake pedal is right freaking there

Because then they would be out of my way when I’m driving.

I asked BMW for comment, and a spokesman gave me the following:

Or we could work harder on educating pedestrians to not walk out into the road without looking, keep a closer eye on their kids, and have cyclists and bikers keep to the fucking edge of the road.

What people is need is to avoid people like you in their lives telling them what they need and what to think and believe.

Please. PLEASE.

No, they don't.
