so why didn’t they just go full megawatt here? what kinda masculine Chinese or American man doesn’t drive a boxy offroad 4x4 with AT LEAST a full megawatt? 800kw just ain’t cutting it for me. ((slowly slinks back behind the wheel of my ‘06 corolla))

Now that the house of the three diamonds is back in the black, it’s time for them to get serious and bring back the GTO (or what we in the states got as the 3000GT).  I think it is too soon perhaps to resurrect the Evo though.

driving I-294 from Illinois into Indiana... 7 out of every 10 billboards are for “Krazy Kaplans”... which is a store that sells fireworks. As you may or may not know, Illinois only allows for sparklers and those little popping paper things you throw on the ground. Indiana - we have mortars, roman candles and other…

Only a matter of time before this entire conversation devolves into the debate of POP vs. SODA.  And to the folks that call any carbonated sweet drink a “coke” - y’all are simply wrong.  Toilet tissue vs. Toilet paper?  Nope... they’re all just “shit tickets” my friend.  Know this for when bathroom etiquette is…

Owen, maybe now is the time for you to grow a mullet, gain 7 stone, er I mean 100 pounds, go to walmart, ride the electric scooter to the sporting goods department so you can buy more guns to put on the gun rack attached to your realtree decal laden coal roller, curse at liberals while drinking warm natrual ice light…

For a vehicle whose name could easily be pronounced as “chair”, I’m not truly surprised. Notable is the lack of people complaining about reliability. Basically the buyer criteria is thus: 1. must be an suv/cuv (no sedans here), 2. must be cheap, and 3. must be a reliable toyota. As an owner of a largely trouble-free…

Just wait until Owen encounters his first Michigan left or a Jersey jug handle. Bonus points for surviving the hillside strangler in Illinois just west of Chicago where three interstates merge and use about only 3/8 of a lane to do so. Also, just driving anywhere in or around Detroit and making it somewhere without…

Left on red is acceptable as well... if, and only IF you are in the leftmost lane of a one-way street and turning onto another one-way street.  Although, please do check to see that the one-way that you are turning onto indeed HEADS LEFT.  At least that is teh way in Indiana.

The dodge charger will pass almost everything - except for a mechanic.

I love my Kia Cadenza (which Kia killed off a few years back) and am overall a fairly big fan of the Korean HyKi twins, but I think that the Kia Soul is done for. It was brought to market as a competitor against the Nissan Cube and the Scion xB many moons ago. While they still sell decently, the overall platform seems…

Now they just need a totted-up GR variant to sell to the kiddies.

All go and no stop? Hasn’t that been the mantra for American muscle cars since time immemorial?  We’re lucky that this thing even has a steering wheel, er, um I mean a Thrustmaster flight yoke.

I wonder how much I can get for a rusted AF 1992 geo metro convertible with 3 cylinders of sheer terror?  Gotta be at least $10k, right?  No one would ever want a miata after sitting behind the wheel of one of these babies!

since turbo v6 is acceptable, go for the stinger gt - plenty used and maybe some CPO for about 30k.  no one ever expects a kia to win the stoplight drag race, but there you have it.  any genesis model with the tau v8 might tickle your tickler too.

Genesis needs a performance variant, and this would be a great car to start it with.  There’s no reason why they can’t make this luxo-barge comfort cruiser have 600hp or more.  I know that we won’t ever see a V12 in this beast, but they do have the Tau V8 engine, so they could start with that, drop a couple turbos on…

I can also pick on Toyota as well... Let’s take the C-HR for example. My brain wants to augment that consonant soup with some vowels, and thus, it reads as “CHaiR” to me. When car shopping, I typically want more than just a chair. Nissan - how bout those guys? Ever gotten behind a vehicle on the highway only to wonder…

Silverado RST.  I keep reading RST as “Reset”.  As in, GM needs to hit the reset button on their entire line of pickups and SUV’s.  With styling cues cribbed from the finest unpaid interns in the art department coupled with GM’s innate ability to have electrical systems in their vehicles be somehow worse than ‘60s and…

Hot compacts... what is not to love? It is really good to see Hyundai going after the performance market with some compelling packages that really do take on the established heavy hitters. Are either WRX killers? Nope... I don’t think that this was their target in the first place. They are going after the niche that…

They should just give themselves a new corporate logo - a donut.  Tells the customers what they’re in for at least.
