Neutral: Is there any modern mainstream brand that is unreliable? All four of my lifetime mechanic uncles swear that its harder to find an unreliable car nowadays than it is a reliable one.(I’m extremely appreciative they aren’t just typical boomer: “they don’t make em like they used to argle bargle”). Save for a few

Even if they just called it "Mach-E" with no Mustang that would be better. Though Mach-E does make me think of a certain Boston actor...

How do you like your quick jacks? I am trying to convince myself to get the mid-rise or full rise scisor lift

Don’t forget Little Diomede Island between Alaska and Russia where they literally throw ALL of their trash into the ocean on a daily basis. It’s unbelievable to see it. I watched a documentary on this Island before and they mentioned it so casually as if it was nothing. I was thinking how much this must build up over

this is all to appease people who don’t give a damn about F1 in the first place. How in the fuck do they suggest shipping cars between cities? Sail? Get a grip. This is a well laid out marketing deck for fools naive enough to believe any of their changes will have a meaningful impact

Wait, is that true about the track being worn in one direction or did a joke just fly over my head?

That is road-load horsepower at 50 mph. This factor incorporates friction and aero drag

C6>C8>C7. 

You want a balanced weight setup. Lack of weight on one end is as bad as too much. Stripped out a bunch of weight from my SHO in the trunk area and it became... a snap oversteer monster. Bit wet out and boom, spun like a top around that very heavy and very far forward engine. Strange solution in this case was summer

All other things being equal, wouldn’t a mid-engined RWD vehicle fare better in snow than a front-engined RWD vehicle? You should have more weight over the driven wheels.

I’ll sound the alarm once I see “Racial Inequality Doesn’t Stop with Brake Pads.

I regret that I have only one star to give for any Dune reference, especially a solid cut like that one. Salute.

Yep, just the typical attitude around here.

2 doors? No Hatchback? Isn’t Subaru supposed to be outdoorsy?

Fuck me that is fast for a factory available car. Like, that is so insanely fast. I drive a nostalgia alcohol funny car, with a blown alcohol 563ci big block, and we run 6.80-6.90's. That a full body, factory available Challenger is within spitting distance of us is bonkers.

As mentioned here, lots of people (me included) prefer to ride in a nice, clean newer car with a usually-pleasant stranger over getting into the back of a clapped out 265,000 mile 9 year old Crown Vic ex cop car with the cop spec knee killing partition and cramped vinyl back seat, failed A/C and the ABS and airbag

I agree. Uber and Lyft have provided excellent service the times I have used it. I just don’t particularly like that people are out here using their own cars and taking the wear and tear costs associated with that.

I think at some point ride-sharing is going to get too expensive and taxi companies are going to get

Every time I have used Uber it has been a pleasant experience. My last 10 cab rides have ranged from barely tolerable to abysmal. Taxis suck. If they didn’t, Uber would not have become so popular. I like cheap private transportation but I recognize that they need to price their service so it reflects the cost to make
