To be fair, you needed to add the qualifier “N/A.” The F1 is the peak of N/A performance because that’s when companies stopped investing in naturally aspired engines for top speed hyper cars.

Nothing asserts dominance more than lashing out at people only to immediately beg them for forgiveness.

Exactly, if this is what $580k buys you, then what do you think $250k buys? Hint: nothing.

park-adjacent neighborhood in the Midwest

I can’t wait for the housing bubble to burst.

He’s parked his current boat in his driveway for four years, and a previous boat for many years prior to suddenly receiving this code compliance notice.

She looked like a good Christian lady.

Yeah, nobody with a double-digit shoe size is driving this thing.

Tire technology sucked back then. This was probably rolling on 165mm wide tires. I’m not sure how well this stacks up against its contemporaries, but I bet that was expected performance.

A salvage-titled project car that the owner is selling after dumping $40k into engine mods? This probably isn’t a terrible car, but I wouldn’t buy this unless I was comfortable working on Vipers (or had a rapport with a shop comfortable with this). It’s hard to tell if this is a good time or a money pit.

Ford: EV costs are falling, but when you build the wrong product (Lightning)

Maybe if Ford, Stellaris and GM had focused earlier on development, they’d have a wider selection of EVs on the market.

I believe Trump would do this. He’d do it for free because it angers his opponents.

Nissan knows about how much dealers are making on the finance side. Dealers cans sell “at a loss” and make it up selling extended warranties, etc.

This time is worse, because Chinese companies can build a car that all Americans would buy. In the 70s, Japanese cars were tiny cracker boxes, so they didn’t really compete with the domestic company’s bread and butter.

Those GTS Skylines are great.

There’s also the issue that new cars are so numb compared to the old stuff. You really have no clue what’s going on until you’ve crossed the threshold and stability control is reeling you back in.

Star for the comment, but this deserves to be bolded:

Pontiac actually had an identity until the day it died,

I like Lutz as a car guy, but he had terrible business sense. I personally liked all of the cars he pushed for, but they were all sales flops, and predictably so.
