Since brand loyalty of chevy and ford small-car owners was decreasing already, seems like it was the cars that were killing the loyalty. Ford and Chevy just decided to shoot themselves instead of waiting for the cancer to finish them off.

Hoping for Zarco. Crutchlow seems to be on his way out, but Zarco has some years ahead of him if he can keep his head in it. Would be strange to bring a guy in that is a known quantity and that quantity isn’t that great, and on top of that, is looking to retire soon because one of his ankles is killing him. Zarco has…

I don’t blame him. He straight up broke his back this season. If that’s not a sign to pack it in, I don’t know what is. Lots of respect for him for climbing back on to finish up the season. Although I never really liked his demeanor or his riding style, sad to see a multiple-world-champion go out so beat up. Hope he…

They look great. Just the right size with fully independent suspension, reasonably-sized tires and wheels, plenty of places to stow things other than the bed, and a nice quiet and comfy interior. Probably the smoothest, best driving truck out there. No overly stiff bravado suspension so you can tow 4 tons (that’s a…

I expect this to be a successful at the Ridgeline, which is, I guess doing OK? I saw a newer one yesterday.

I know you keep trying to hammer this point home, but I’ve owned a number of shitty open-diff mitsubishis with blizzaks. Never had this one legged issue prevent me from getting somewhere. Maybe learn how to modulate the throttle a bit better. Yes, there were some slow starts and a little wheel spin, but I never got…

Sort of seems like the antithesis to AWD. I have to make my front tires slip to get traction in the rear? BMW’s system sounds better if you are looking to use and AWD as intended.

It’d be more responsible if they simply showed an AWD car climbing slowly and deliberately, although unwaveringly, out of a plowed-in parking spot. That’s really where these systems shine. No bombing around in a snow-covered tundra. Just climbing out of 6-8 inches of snow while pushing a bunch out of the way with the…

Good way to sell more of then, right? Lol!

Weren’t there tests showing that the RAV4's AWD system actually sucked and didn’t transmit nearly as much torque to the rear wheels as Toyota claimed? Or was that Honda with the CR-V?

When we talk about ‘dirty air’ in F1, we’re not talking about air quality so much as the disturbance left in the air in the wake of the cars. Any car going really fast will create disturbance in the air behind it as the air from the front and sides gets pushed to the tail end of the car—it’s unavoidable.

The back looks weird with the spoiler down. Also, I agree, sounds like he wants us to bone his car. What’s with car designers wanting to bone their cars? Do painters want to bone their paintings? Architects make sweet, sweet love to their buildings? Jesus. There are many other emotions that you can put into your art…

Blame nissan. They are the ones that decided to sell their coolest cars overseas. Can’t blame people for wanting them in the US.

Lives in a system where it is common knowledge that having a child is financially crippling, still has children and complains that they are financially crippled.

Thank god they are getting rid of the balloon-like, drag radial-like tires and are getting some 18" wheels. Absolutely silly to have a tire that in no way resembles most racing tires, much less road tires in a series that at least vaguely tries to stick to highway technology.

Same with my e46. Got mid grade aftermarket and they were loud and stopped like shit. Got the OEM brand and, although they seem to be pretty easy on the rotors, with how much dust is on my wheels, I’m pretty sure these pads aren’t going to last long. It brakes soooooooo well though! Still thinking it might be worth…

Something I’ve come to notice lately, just like tires, the longest lasting ones aren’t necessarily the best ones. Good brakes also have good bite in the operating ranges they will be used. I had a set of street brakes (not cheapos) on my car that touted long life and clean wheels, but it turned out they offered almost…

I see you’ve never downshifted while braking. Engine braking be damned. Fifth to first. Got it. Never mind top gear causes the car to buck at like 25mph, well above a complete stop.

Admittedly didn’t watch the video (because ain’t no one got time for that), but what about the clutch? Hard to press the clutch in a panic stop when your left foot is on the brake. Is the idea that you should yank it out of gear or do we just met it stall.

Yeah, but like I said, they’ll all be electric by then.
