Your people stormed the US Capitol building. Today would be a good day to be quiet for a bit, champ.

Ralph Nader would like a word.

Unfortunately, automobiles tend to intersect quite a bit with transportation policy, climate policy, public safety, etc. We can’t have a conversation about cars without getting into the weeds of ideas like airbags, seatbelts, pedestrian safety, the 55 MPH speed limit, etc.

This is a car site.  Your political BS is not welcome here!

A) How many shirts did you sell

My biggest fear is that we just handed guys like Hawley and Cotton a playbook on how it’s done.

How am I? I’m doing great. A dozen friends and I created a network of fake right wing sites, like this one. (I mentioned this earlier in the week.) Thousands of cult-followers pledged fealty to a cult leader, rather than deciding to participate in democracy like the rest of us.

You must be taller than I am. My corgi-like arms would not reach anywhere near the window crank on the opposite side. While I respect your dedication for no-frills simplicity and cost-cutting, my physical limits and the restrictions placed on modern cars in terms of equipment pretty much force my hand.

3 of my cars are throttle-by-wire, and if I’m being honest, I can’t tell.  There is a part of me that likes the simplicity of a cable, but there is no way I’d know that I have throttle-by-wire by the feel or function.

I tend to stick to old cars as a matter of taste, but one thing that drove me nuts in the one modern car I ever had was that I prefer my accelerator to be connected directly to the throttle body with a real cable. Having what is essentially a fake pedal sending a signal to a computer to open the throttle just isn’t…

ORRRRR

Plus who hates power locks and back up cameras?

I can appreciate that many people don’t want to pay *extra* for power windows, locks, and blueteeth, but the fact is that that’s what a standard car comes with these days. And unless you’re trying to get bent over buying a Wrangler, you’ll get those plus AC for the base price of the vehicle.

Wow. Excellent post.

The Scorpio was never designed with the US in mind, so it’s still mind-boggling why they hooked up with Perez in the first place. It costs a fortune to convert a RHD vehicle to LHD, and you’ll likely wind up compromising whatever structural support you have left over.And the mHawk diesel engine wouldn’t pass US…

That pickup was the result of a shady scheme that Mahindra wanted nothing to do with, but got involved to save its own skin.

Mahindra’s R&D facilities and manufacturing plant are located in Auburn Hills. That puts it near the heart of the US auto industry. That plant builds the Roxor, and despite the FCA mess, the plant seems to be successful. This is where Mahindra’s future US production for passenger vehicles will come from.

Mahindra still plans to build the Marazzo in Michigan, from what I’m hearing.

Is this sort of like Apple’s “rounded-rectangle” claim?
