With that said, man this IS a pretty car. It looks like Porsche built a Model 3 out of the McLaren parts bin.

I’m sure Ford’s shareholders would rather this dude not gush about the competition, but you know what? Good for him. He’s driving the other guys’ cars and giving them an honest appraisal. I hope this car delivers some lessons for can use on their own offerings.

The K5 continues Kia’s fine tradition of making cars that look vaguely like European sport sedans with good enough performance and tolerable prices. But it’s “hot” trim, the GT isn’t really a big improvement over the base model, performance wise. I assume they don’t want to make it too zesty because that would eat…

Just Milwaukee things

The right wing hates the repression of free speech, the clandestine manipulation of political systems, and the surveillance state, right up until they get ahold of those things, then they loooooooooooooooooove them.

As a terminally online weirdo, I often have to remind myself that most people are not terminally online weirdos, and in general, are not well informed either. A lot of folks will hear a public figure say “I think X is dangerous” and won’t even consider if there is an agenda (or senile dementia) behind it, nor will…

We all like to score off the Donald, and let’s face it, the man is a clinical idiot; it’s easy. BUT, if this comes up with friends or family, here is a brief explanation of why hydrogen vehicles aren’t particularly dangerous.

The 05 Phaeton W12 had an MSRP just south of 100 grand. The Arteon is 45-50k depending on spec. VW hasn’t limited themselves to budget cars in a long time. And frankly no VW is a “people’s car” anymore - the demand constant thorough maintenance beyond what most Japanese cars require, they eat oil like it’s canapes at…

but it’s hard to deny that the ID Buzz is not a lovely piece of design.

Teslas are hackable right now, so I don’t think we’re really avoiding that. Per LiveScience:

Consider guided missiles. The earliest were optically guided - you have a camera, usually located on your weapon pod, with some really basic computing power behind it that can recognize moving shapes and keep pointing the missile at them. This is more or less how self driving cars work now, by trying to recognize what…

I don’t want to put down a dude in circumstances, but like

The AMG GT is a special car. It looks fast sitting perfectly still. Driving one gives you +5 to charisma, lasting for 20 minutes after you get out. I’d get one instantly if I could.

I think some second amendment people need to put these violent thugs in their place, personally.

Look they got bigger things to worry about like their haunted clock and the big robot the Slovaks are building

Reading comprehension is hard:

If you aren’t running AdBlock, about 2/3 of Kinja’s screen real estate is ads. Even if you are, a lot of the inline ads can get through, and there’s usually 1-2 sponsored articles at any given time.

There are virtually no cars made by Chinese companies sold in the US, fabricated in Mexico or otherwise. It may actually be zero now that Fisker is dead. Meanwhile, every American carmaker sells vehicles that are at least partially assembled in China, and more than a few in Mexico. In his quest to exploit xenophobia,…

I’ve heard of caning it, but this is ridiculous!

That’d be a sick look for a wrap. I mean, of course there are already wood effect car wraps, but for the sake of interoperability they don’t really match the contours of the car.
