I also feel that they were running out of ideas. Some of the stuff near the end seemed quite a stretch or really obscure for a myth.

Sector shaft/ pitman arm failure isn’t uncommon on old cruisers, especially if they have bigger tires or are abused. Either the splines in the arm strip out or lose knuckle bolts fail and the arm comes off. “Check yet nuts” is the rally cry for old cruisers.

They look as much alike as a porsche Boxster looks like a Porsche 911.  Its a design language.  Even this and its closest model the 570 look noticeably different.  Like the difference from a 458 and a 488

That one is a definite ND - you can find 996 C2 base models in the teens all day long. $25k would be reasonable for a 996 C4S or something with that kind of mileage. Dealer is dreaming at that price.

if loving dogs is a white people offense then you can call me mayonnaise from here on out

Keep that nonsense on Twitter or whatever. It’s a cute dog video on a Saturday. Good gravy.

In case anyone wants to actually see the cool tires mentioned in the headline without going on a fucking goose chase:

The GLE you’re referencing is the GLE350 trim, which has a 4-cylinder and RWD. Not exactly a fair comparison to the 3.5TT GV80 Prestige. Option up the GLE’s 6-cylinder trim, the GLE450, to a similar level as the GV80 Prestige (HUD, Nappa leather, full driver assistance/safety suite, adaptive LED lighting, etc.) and…

I think the Genesis looks better, at the very least. I’ve always found the Bentayga to be pretty hideous (though the facelift is definitely helping it out), while the Genesis is one of the best looking SUVs to come out lately. Big props to them for making a distinct looking design language in a sea of similar-looking…

Saying the GT helps Tesla sell model 3’s is like saying the R8 helped BMW sell M3’s. Just a totally fatuous argument. They’re not the same cars and they aren’t marketing toward the same buyers.

The Charger’s only faster until the first corner.

And here it is. I’d demand to know why they aren’t making it but I’d probably find the answer depressing.

It’s a bit different in Europe, where I think Tesla may find itself on the back foot against VW, in part because the ID3 is just closer to the category of car that sells best in many European markets. But yes, I can see cars like the Taycan helping to get people excited about EVs, to the extent that they decide to…

A Chevy Bolt has been around $25k after rebates for a LONG time now.

I would definitely want a $25,000 EV.

That’s part of the Deming production management theory that American companies weren’t interested in but he became a god in Japan. But only a part. A lot of the rest is the we’re all in this together teamwork stuff that fit in with Japanese culture, as opposed to American individualism and white collar management vs…

Angry Eyes Forevah!

Glassed-in Sugar Scoops.

I have a soft spot for the S15 front end. Nissan really styled the Silvia correctly, and the Japanese market S15 just... had perfect headlights.

Neutral: I’m conflicted on this. I think it’s fucked up that a bunch of wealthy people are making millions selling weed, when a lot of non-violent “criminals” are currently in jail for selling weed.
