agreed. Never have I turn the head for any of such vehicles. usually i just throw up a bit in my mouth when I see one.

The power or marketing and perhaps my thinking is slightly less main stream but I would not think buying a $70k vehicle would be a wise thing to do, and I fit into their household income demographic.

it’s kind of ironic that you will need to struggle financially so that other people can think that you aren’t :)

yes, it clearly outlined the problems of electronic fake AWD cars. A 20 year old Legacy would smoke those SUVs in that horse race segment. Why do we need all this new electronic AWD crap where the mechanical solutions worked much better in the past?

all of you guys are missing a point. This is supposed to be an “fanboy racer” that keeps it safe. All of the unnecessary luxury bits such as navi, bluetooth and others are a distraction. There are plenty of “sporty” cars for the money, even used ones that have the power and can give you the thrill that you desire. You…

I disagree. The responsiveness of N/A engine doesn’t compare to anything. Yes, an ALS fitted boosted car comes close but it’s not the same.

this is a stupid argument from the Evo guys. Let’s make that rocket launch horizontal and then see how it compares.

really? After, they hit the water surface at a high speed? I wonder how much of it was reusable.

a lot of people that grew up on rallies in 80s and 90s will disagree. I vaguely remember Group B but Group A is what does it for me. Mid to late 90s with McRae, Kankkunen, Auriol, Sainz, Delecour were the $hit for me. The pure sounds of those cars and the fact that you had to really drive it to make it around the…

i still liked the manhandling of cars in turns better on the old Group B and A cars. The scandinavian flicks were the norm even on tarmac. This “round the corner” bullshit now is quicker at the finish but definitely less flamboyant :)

I’m surprised how many people “need” any pickup truck at all compared to the army of them on the streets. I can count with one hand the number of times I needed a pickup truck in my lifetime. Most of the time i was able to solve the problem with $19.99/hr Home Depot/Menards rental.

I think there is some kind of conspiracy between child seats/carriers manufacturers and car manufacturers. Think about it, if the seats keep getting bigger, the cars will need to get bigger as the parents to be realize that the baby will not be able to fit behind mommy and proceed to the dealership to upgrade their…

I just watched the show yesterday and I’m really on the fence here. It looks like the motorsport coach said in the film, Scott is being punished for being “clever”. He figured out a way to structure the company in a certain way to make it profitable. Looks like all of the fees were “legal” and standard for the…

Just get a GTI. Most auto companies are guilty of something at some point: airbags, ignition switches, etc. just pick your poison... lol

being a photog at Rally America events in the past I can tell you that once you have the Media vest you get to stand wherever you want within the use of a common sense. You can be way in front of the tape in the ditch if you want.

welcome to corporate america. There are very few companies where making good products for customers comes first and the profit becomes a natural result. Most large companies are in business of making money while making some widgets is a byproduct of this initiative...

I agree. Some say that the new season is a big improvement but I was still about to harm myself when I watched the fake unscripted Croatia episode, the stupid Farmkhana by JC and other pointless jokes that they’re making lately. The Conversation Street gets boring and it seems that Top Gear gets more “natural” acting…

Isn’t he supposed to be in one of the GT episodes that is still to be aired?

oh poor thing, you didn’t have a voucher? Don’t worry, Betsy will fix it soon...

No it isn’t. You need to take into account that the trucker needs to drive to the loading facility and spend another 1-2 h there and then depart for his “500 mile” trip. Given the traffic and everything else that is needed you’re realistically looking at a 8-9 hours of driving at a 55mph average. How many miles does…
