Yeah, as low as the FR-S sits, pretty much sidearm only for that trick - the only way a straight-over-the-top pitcher could pull that off was if he was about a foot-and-three-quarters tall.

A quick off the top of my head list of tributes I'd rather see instead of a F-35:

This makes me sad. Relegating the 6.2L to 3/4 ton and up duty means we may never see the full potential of this motor. Remember, Ford took everything they learned from 20 years of the Modular family and put it into the Boss/Hurricane but without the displacement limitations of the Modular's valve cramping bore…

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye arm.

Those would be good second cars for a teenage gearhead.

You do realize that the "Sport" in SUV doesn't mean "sport" as in "sports car" but "sport" in the context of outdoor sportsman activities, right? Like, camping, hunting, fishing, boating, etc., or even off-roading. A vehicle who's utility lies in pursuing sporting activities. The term predates anybody trying to turn…

She just can't win with the car - to the supermarket checkout line busybodies a Mercedes represents an opulent luxury she doesn't deserve, to the people for whom they bought the car to keep up with or impress in the first place, an eleven year old Mercedes represents an embarrassing failure and tells them they might…

I...uh...wha...guh...I am buying you a pizza.

My blanket cutoff for a reasonable daily driver - something I can drive everyday, rain or shine and feel comfortable carrying friends and family in on a regular basis and something that might need to venture out on the highways - is dual airbags so mid 1990's or so for most passenger cars which gets you a lot of other…

I'm just gonna throw this out here but if you drive in the state of Alabama then when you go order your Charger SRT down at the Dodge dealer, then for god's sake, don't get it in state trooper grey please. Even with that big-ass hood scoop bearing down on my rearview mirror, I couldn't convince myself you weren't a…

I think ABS has had the greatest impact on driving safety in terms of not hitting things and needing your seatbelt and airbags and crumple zones and stuff.

If they're so determined not to turbocharge it, then how about punch it out to 2.5L? I think that gets the power up to a amount that seems pretty reasonable without the hassle and expense of turbo charging and the bump in torque should make the car more streetable at normal RPMs.

All it needed was the Tau V8 and all would've been forgiven but Hyundai either didn't realize they were building a ponycar or didn't understand how the ponycar market works.

That thing probably has more room in the cargo area by itself than any modern wagon does with its 2nd row of seats folded down. And probably most CUVs too. That Flex is probably one of the few vehicles short of a full-size SUV that comes close to the cargo capacity of an old-school wagon.

I've ranted and raved a few times about physical controls being essential for primary functions of the car and I'm not really that big a believer in voice control in general but I think for the car voice is the least bad of a bunch of unsatisfactory methods for deeper functions like making calls and sending messages…

If I'm remembering correctly, the synthesizer chip in Q-Bert was actually a speech synthesizer chip - the chip would generate phonemes and you could string them together to make words so it's not like they were trying to create speech out of sawtooth waves or something.

Nope, not the only one. I think my iPhone is the greatest thing since sliced bread (finally, the future of my childhood I was promised actually delivered on something!) and I look forward to the day that we can use our smart devices as seamlessly and intuitively as you can sitting on your couch at home but…

This is cool and all but I just can't imagine being such a die-hard Ford fan (or Dodge, they made some of those too) that I would have to have this commissioned instead of just going across the street and getting a Suburban.

The F-14 was always my favorite of the F-14, 15 & 16 triumvirate. I'm not sure how much of that was due to my older brother taking me to see Top Gun or how much was because something about the variable geometry wings was so appealing to a Lego Technics obsessed child.

I think the question should be rather "why has Europe not widely adopted automatics like the US has?"
