When we wrote about it a few years ago we didn't exactly "review" it. Sadly, none of us are president and none of us were invited in to drive it. However, we've been able to see it in use and we haven't been impressed. What seemed like a good idea is actually a bad idea.

That's truly sad. Pittsburgh just seems like the kind of city that is waiting to explode with new resources and new age ideas but dumb stuff like that holds it back. I love the fact that people are biking ALL OVER that city when I go visit.

Actually, you were totally disparaging it. Your second comment is much more appropriate. Maybe it isn't for you, but the majority of people across the country and around the world are piling accolades on Pittsburgh for good reason. I grew up here, moved all around the country and then moved back. Pittsburgh is,…

One of the most livable cities in the country, with smart growth, lots of universities and a diverse economy. It may have been a symbol of America's lost industry, but it looks like it's making a comeback.

Just because the road turn out to be empty doesn't mean that doing this on a road that you have not arranged to definitely be empty doesn't make you a dangerous asshole. I have driven in this area at all hours of the day and night, and while it is emptier at night, you still see cars, and you still (sometimes) hit…

The cop should have impounded the cars, revoked their licenses for reckless driving and endangerment, and crushed their cars.

Street racing only proves one thing, who's a bigger idiot.

If you're racing on the street you're an idiot.

I suggested Retromobile, but as a Pittsburgher I am pleased to see the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix on the list. One of the greatest gatherings in the country. It has grown to include more than a week straight of daily events from black tie dinners to track sessions...and that doesn't even include the weekend of…

I just don't believe there are any trully awful cars anymore in the US anyway. The bar is so high now, that what used to be acceptable is no longer tolerated. BTW, I owned a 79' X-1/9 and used it as my DD back in 86-88. I commuted to college in Newark, NJ on the turnpike and/or parkway and only had an alternator go…

Too bad the constitution disagrees with you.

Great piece. I've lived in St Louis for 16 years and I've never seen any of this equipment before Monday. Yesterday the Ferguson chief was all over local news saying that they wouldn't do anything if protesters were peaceful after 9pm. Cut to 9pm exactly - cue up the bullhorns rubber bullets and tear gas while…

"Torch in his RV down by the river" was added to the Oppo pack.

Looks like a Puma to me

Probably aerodynamic. As you get closer to terminal velocity (at least, what would be the terminal velocity of something if it were dropped) the amount of power necessary to add speed goes up way faster.

A report in Automotive News says that social media, which has been praised for ages as the next generation of everything, has barely made an impact on auto sales. And that includes with the people social campaigns are meant to attract: Millennials.

The article last week or so was that they are buying more than Gen X. But the point of this article is that Facebook isn't what is creating those sales

"There are reasons why white gun's rights activists can walk into a Chipotle restaurant with assault rifles and be seen as gauche nuisances while unarmed black men are killed for reaching for their wallets or cell phones, or carrying children's toys."

Excellent piece Greg...wow.

1. has largely been eliminated vs. the "old days" of inflating payments and variables and the like. I think there was some legislation passed cracking down on it.

That's a dickmove.
