The question is: How much lipstick do you have to put on a pig before people no longer think it is a pig?

Which includes only about 98% of new car buyers.

Top NHRA drivers are extraordinary at what they do. However, they are rarely fighting another driver for track position going into a turn, which is what Patrick was describing.

That is becoming an increasingly big “if”.

Loans do not magically go away with forgiveness. They are just transferred to the actual taxpayers, whose taxes go up to pay for deadbeats.

Homogenized is for milk; the term is homologated. Because they are not competing in any class, there is absolutely no issue of “poor sportsmanship”. This is a show. Please get over it.

Who are the hateful people who are forcing these millennials into buying new cars that they can’t afford? I never had a new, or even relatively young, car until I was long out of graduate school and had been working for more than 6 years, always having a roommate to share rent expenses.

That would be great for a 45 minute sports car race.

My all-time favorite car was my 1967 Porsche 912 that I special ordered from the factory in Champagne Yellow (back then a $300 extra charge over the $4700 price of the car). In 17 years of daily driving that car I never tired of the color.

This premise of “ most people live in denser cities with good public transportation” is nonsensical. Outside the northeastern quadrant of the U.S. there are precious few cities with adequate public transportation. The bulk of this country that developed after World War 2 was developed around the automobile and not…

Only in cities that have very good mass transit, which is pretty much limited to the Northeast. There actually a number of real cities in other parts of the country, such as Dallas, Houston, Denver, Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte, Kansas City, etc., etc., for which this concern clearly applies.

Aside from the vague similarities of the grille, there are few other similarities that all other four-door sedans don’t have. The side and rear views are very different, with the Accord being almost a fastback and the Charger being a notchback with very different beltlines.

The Stratos isn’t cute, just weird.

So true.

The bug-eyed Sprite is really cute, so long as you are no taller than 5'9".  At 6'1", my knees were around the steering wheel.

What do you call all those Pepsi logos on the front, sides (and very likely the rear) of those rigs shown???

This is another example of entropy (look it up).

As would seizure of all guns reduce the thousands of gun deaths each year.

Don’t forget to include the Truck Nutz for the rear.
