I’m with you, the Ferrari styling peaked with the F430 (I actually think the regular looks better than the Scud). The 458 was a big step back back, the proportions weren’t right, the wheels were too big and this prancing horse on the front was on a little thing that stuck out. Once you notice it, you cant unsee it and…

Mercedes doesnt deserve a manual.  That brand did everything they could to kill off the proper transmission.

He looks like he is so bored he’s struggling to stay awake.

Seriously, I’ve been driving nothing but stick for 15 years.  I can engage in just as many distracted driving activities as in an automatic.

See the problem is that there are people who drive electric cars. That think electricity is some magical force that enables their car to move with no pollution whatsoever. Then there are people who know this is also BS so go to the other extreme and try to explain how through manufacturing and transportation their…

There is possibly only one person that is jealous, and that is our own Freddie Tavarish. And I say possibly, because the other possibility, the more likely possibility, is he is the someone that bought it.

Honestly, this thing looks surprisingly fantastic. These medium to bright shades of blue (somewhere between Porsche Mexico Blue, Ford RS Blue, BMW Laguna Seca Blue, Volvo Polestar) are currently my favorite colors on a car.  Now this just needs a hot hatch version.

The front plate ruins it. 

I know its 25% less HP, and probably not as easy to source, but the 1.4 out of the abarth would be a much better fit in that, just think of the amazing sound it puts out.

I hate it because it has 2 pedals.  Unless they added a 3rd I’m not wrong. 

They do, they just dont make the Scout. 

Forgot about that fiasco.  That was the dumbest complaint ever. 

So Ford throws a fit when Tesla wanted to name a car the Model E straight up rips off the name of the International Scout.

1982 was the last year for the C3, all of the preproduction prototypes were called 1983 Corvettes. 1983 C4 production was supposed to start fall of 82 (Chevy always jumps the model year by several months) but was delayed until March 83, at that point all of them were called 1984, despite being built in 1983.  So the…

There were about 25,000 corvettes built in 1983 starting in March 83. Chevy decided to call them all 1984 cars.

There is a preference for manual transmission cars in the used market, like sports cars and exotics from the 90s and 00s. The automated stuff now fees old and is quite unreliable.  But the buyers in new market care about the performance numbers and want whats new and has the most technology.

Everyone makes the you need a paddleshift to handle all the power argument, but the truth is the DCT cant actually handle that much power. Every McLaren and Nissan GTR is on its 3rd transmission, but I never hear of a 05/06 Ford GT transmission failure even though those are routinely upgraded to 700 hp without…

I dont think Chris has written an article here in a couple years.  He has several higher paying gigs now.

He would first have to speed up.

Except the cubs were able to draft, develop, and buy talent. Marco cant do any of those.
