I sometimes send my friend pictures of awesome cars that I see around town. One day, the wife and I were out at a restaurant that had an abnormal amount of really nice cars in the lot; Alfa 4c, Lotus Exige, Hellcat, FC RX7 and a few nice examples of regular cars like WRX, Mustangs. When we are leaving, I decide to…

Where we’re going, we don’t need brakes.

or maybe they didn’t finish the work and made up some bullshit.

Holy shit, what?

I’d buy one because I think they are cool and it would make me happy.

I think these are really cool. It’s like a Hellcat with utility.

It sucks for the future of owning a stick shift though. My dad’s Mustang was stuck at the dealership over the weekend because nobody in the shop knew how to drive a stick to move it out to the front lot for him to pick up after hours.

“The motor control unit (“MCU”) software may detect a transmission / drive motor synchronization fault while driving triggering a “fail-safe” condition that temporarily results in slow, unintended acceleration after release of the brake pedal.

Using a two-ton+ metallic land missile to move a human around at 80 miles per hour is bad for the environment is so many ways. Whether we burn oil to do so, or leverage the power of wind, it’s still stupid and inefficient.

My company is now theoretically worth $1 billion

To this day, I still encounter folks who will not buy models from Kia or Hyundai because of the perceived quality of those products, based on experiences or anecdotes from 20 years ago.

This wasn’t so much ahead of its time as it was a product of its time. The 70s were a time when people had to make due with less. These things are a good 2 feet shorter than an S10 extended cab that replaced them (which is the same length as a current Maverick).

Disability benefits are amazing if you manage to crest 100%. A friend of mine said his are a little over $4k/mo, and he’s still able to hold down a full time job and a side-gig. Granted, he’s the same age as I am yet his body is 15 years older.

And if they don’t, those departments should be able to “sync up” and use that information in their investigations.

Many veterans minimize their ailments to the FAA so they can keep flying but exaggerate them to VA to maximize their disability payments, physicians and former officials at the aviation agency say.

But now I know it’s the idiots actually buying these things over MSRP that I should be mad at.

A waste of money.

NASCAR will just keep racing these cars that have nothing to do with the showroom with huge pushrod V8s that aren’t remotely relevant in today’s vehicles.

Well, wagons did come long before crossovers did so it makes to say the former and not the latter.

I think a bigger problem around here is that Jalops are, on average, incredibly judgemental. Around here, there are “right” and “wrong” vehicles to own.
