It’s going to be a struggle to find a new German brand car without a turbo. Off the top of my head there is the BMW i3, Audi R8, and probably something from Porsche maybe?

My favorite: “They need to sell the new car at the price of the original!” A friends uncle said to me in reference to the mustang. So I checked, turns out the current mustang costs roughly the same as the 60's original when adjusted for inflation. Although the current one has less steering feel than most Hyundai…

You don’t have to guess, everything is for sale. When I sold phones at bestbuy customers would ask “What’s for sale?” And being the ass that I am, with a smile and nod I would respond “Everything!” Also dodge has deep pockets for advertising their truck that makes them all their money, the rest of their business isn’t…

How about that it weighs as much as a full size truck?

Their top two suvs are based on the tacoma and tundra if that helps.

Thank your for the correction. Either way it would be a fun addition to a vehicles styling. Maybe for the center console structure.

I assumed that was going to be most of the car. The Gothic was more a reference to my experiences of walking through Paris and spotting the iron work of select subway station entrances. I think I’m out of my depth when it comes to design nomenclature.

They have humans drive the cars while the computer does mapping, scanning, and learns from the driver. So the cars are relying on multiple gps antennas and 3d scans for navigation. You can see the uber Volvos and Chevy bolts running repeated loops in Tempe Arizona at nearly all hours of the day. Tesla is doing…

Put all the buttons in an air cannon and fire it at the dash from the back seat, fun “quirky” things like that. A hydraulic suspension so smooth you would think your on a bullet train but brakes abrupt enough your back seat passengers have a cover for pick pocketing you like on the subway. Mix up the styling…

You forgot to mention the other great bit about the diff. That silver canister to the right of the tire is the external diff oil reservoir. So the diff is always full of oil up to about three quarters up that canister.

I too hope gas prices go back up to $4 a gallon. Dealers are way more excited to give deals on trucks. When I got my Tundra in late 2008 Toyota required dealers to buy trucks if they wanted priuses. Every dealer I went to had literally every variant of Tundra with flat spots on the tires. Fun times.

Fair points. I was basing my comments off my experiences. While I haven’t spent time in every variation of the other trucks mentioned, the ones I did try were comparable to my base trim tundra and I still don’t think the better millage is worth it.

I got one in 2008 and it’s the best thing ever. While the seats in the Tundra are massive they are also really comfortable. They have the lumbar support not found in other trucks. Also the back seat of the tundra is a real seat not the park bench in the ford or the bent tubes hiding under fabric in the Chevy. Also It…

Considering that no one compliments new BMWs for their steering feel just how “precise” it is. In my personal experience, with a regular F30, the steering is dead, the closest comparison I’ve got is Hyundai of 10 years ago and even they weren’t this bad. The steering on the f30 is so dead and over boosted it has no on…

About a year ago I test drove the F150. While I’m not worried about the durability of those seats, I was worried about the circulation in my legs. While the front seats appear padded they are not. The seat bottom is hard and flat while the seat back appears to be hollow with no lumbar unless its optioned. Then the…

Here’s the thing, everything has changed. You can’t buy a car today without antilock brakes, traction control, stability control, airbags, seatbelt pretensioners, and so much more. Today you can get radar and computer vision based accident avoidance systems on a base civic for $1000. These systems that used to only be…

I saw the headline and my first thought was “Tranny in the back?” The second thought was “He probably made this up too.”

The Accent is a glorious shitbox that I would take over most new BMWs.

There are two of them, the second is in Town and Country on Camelback.

This reminds me of the first time I drove in Chicago. When I came back to Phoenix I kept telling people that driving in Chicago was great, nobody fucked with me, when I signaled the sea of cars parted. The operative word here is car. The next time I drove in Chicago it was in a rental Chevy Malibu sedan (which is a…
