Priceless.

To add to the other’s comments, driving a convertible top down feels faster than a closed top. Miata’s are addicting that way: it feels subjectively faster because you are so connected to the movement of the car. Modern cars fully insulate you from the sound and stimuli of movement, but not smallish convertibles…

Or compare it to the Ferrari Portofino, another super smooth convertible.

Except with girls not sausages.

And thus, the new Vantage (with 6 speed manual dogleg being promised) is here to give you that drama and sense of occasion. I’m also a Porschefile, and for that reason, I’m more interested in the 930 and 964 generations - fun as hell and still raw. As a daily driver, the base Carerra PDK fits perfectly. But for…

Looks like it was sitting too long in Compton.

I don’t think the market is large enough to justify the investment. The Honda Ridgeline is not exactly a hot seller despite raving reviews by everybody. The niche is smaller than many would like to believe. If it was an “el cheapo” priced model (under $20,000), then I’ll get behind it, but I suspect it will be…

Honda Accord 6-speed, YEAH! Unlike the Mazda 6, Honda will equip its powerful turbo engine with the 6-speed. I have the 2017 Accord Sport w/ stick, and it definitely keep my daily commute a big more engaging - let’s see if I can rev match this turn, or damn wrong gear, let’s try that again.

But this begs the question: how often do people need to haul something that’s so tall that it needs an open bed? Wouldn’t the Transit Connect fit 90% of the use cases that an open bed would? We have an F150 company car, and rarely have we ever carried anything that exceeded the height of the cab. We also have the…

Not for my family. Too expensive to set aside a car feature that I’ll only use 5 times a year, but have to pay extra for gas and lost utility (secure trunk vs. open bed). My Sienna minivan is a better “mini-truck”. With all seats down/forward, it does 90% of the hauling I need and the 10% is when I borrow/rent a…

I’ve been following this story, thanks for the closure. It’s about time Goodyear got their comeuppance. 

1st Gear: that’s just too bad. A person’s health is his ultimate prerogative and if the corporation doesn’t like it, they can always sue the estate and claw back all those bonuses. Whatever. The argument about working for a public company, blah blah blah. So put penalties in the contract and see how many quality…

This for every thanklessly difficult job that ever existed. Trash haulers make more money than truckers - notice there are no delays in getting shit hauled from your neighborhood?

Those ambulance lawyers have been around longer than the trucking commercials. I remember seeing those commercials in the early 80's more frequently than trucking commercials!

Yep, just like architects; you imagine they’re living high on the hog like attorneys and doctors, only to find out that every architect you know is barely making ends meet and make less than registered nurses. The only trades (requiring no college education) I know where almost everybody makes good money are (state…

I hate that the CLS is styled identical to the new A class, seriously -  I’m spending an extra $60,000 without separating myself much from the entry level car? Now, if I was in the market for an A-class, I’m loving it! Also, this car would look better as a convertible as it would clean up some of those weird…

And THIS, boys and girls, is why you should choose a college major that allows you options beyond Home Depot or Lowe’s after graduation. Or better yet, go to a trade school to be an electrician, plumber or crane operator.

God forbid you shop at Amazon where I can guarantee that margins are thin and labor mistreated. If there was a company that could develop a technology to turn the evaporated sweat of its unsuspecting warehouse employees into drinking water to be sold for 50 cents back to those same dehydrated and overheated employees…

You mean what if a Chinese or Indian conglomerate bought it, pumped in $10 billion, then gave interior/exterior designers free reign to do “the right thing” while the infotainment group were brought in from Apple and the primary engineering continued to be outsourced to GM (the way Aston uses AMG)? Sounds perfect.

Trump is like a newbie playing SimCity; trying this and that to see what happens down the line, then trying to press “reset” if it’s not what he expected.
