I’d once again like to point out that Paul Walker was not really a huge loss to the automotive community. The fast and furious franchise are actually terrible car movies and only pander to casual car people who like action movies. From 15 speed gearboxes to 40 mile runways to bridge-lumping Vin Diesels, they’re movies…

Internal sources have revealed that the Model 3 will feature a new “Steer By Voice” system. Drivers will issue simple, intuitive vocal commands such as “Turn left 36° on a radius of 106.4 meters” to control the vehicle. The system will also recognize inputs using port and starboard instead of left and right, or using…

The new Civics will be beautiful once their headgear comes off.

Are we there yet?

Bullshit. Dealers will throw on tons of fees and hidden costs and I have never walked into a dealer and they offered only sticker.

Most incentives are from the manufacturers. The only incentive a dealership will give you is on that purple car without A/C that has been sitting in the lot for 9 months.

I bought a Model S last year: SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than a stealership. I was like “I want this car, with this stuff” and they were like “you can have that car, with that stuff!” and I was like “at this price?” *points at screen on my phone* and they were like “you bet your happy ass you can have it at that price!”

Fatty Mcfatfat: The guy was in junior college and doing construction in the 80s and early 90s, not buying Italian exotics. He really didn’t hit it big until the mid-late 90s. I think he made something like $40k in 1995. Prior to that, he was just some guy who offered to teach Jimmy Kimmel (yes, that Jimmy Kimmel,…

Seriously, all McElroy products are the best. If you reach the end of Car Boys and want more, I recommend Monster Factory. If you’re looking for podcasts, all of theirs are good, but The Adventure Zone is sublime-D&D done by three brothers and their dad who have never really played before. Also, of course, there’s the…

As a car guy that loves driving, but also has a long commute: a full autonomous car for the weekdays and a fun analog car for the weekend (or the occasional light traffic work day) would be great. I can distract myself with other activities on the way to work, and I’m not burned out on driving by the weekend.

Ok, increase the the gas guzzler tax on new vehicles. Make new low MPG vehicles more expensive so fuel sipping cars will be more financially attractive; but if you want a new car that chugs gas, just pay to play.

I fear that the chances of McLaren suffering under Apple are larger than those of Apple benefitting from McLaren leadership

Please stop calling the Senna movie a “Documentary”. It’s a biopic as best.

In one race, there were THREE 250 GTOs running (along with 20 other cars of various valuations). $30-50 million cars... EACH.

The grapevine in CA is steep and about 10x longer than anything east of the Rockies. 60000 lb tractor trailers are also a little bit harder to control.

I somehow ended up going down this hill in a 69 vw square back, at a speed high enough that putting it in gear made it sound like the engine would immediately explode, and touching the brake made it seem like the car would shake a part. My passenger and I strongly debated using this runaway truck lane, but it was 3am…

I used to think like this until I had the opportunity to talk to a driver. Most people have no idea how much science goes into driving a race car. Drivers know a lot about physics, as well as being able to recognize what is going on with their car and how to diagnose and solve problems. Air pressure in tires, drag,…

“You guys are heroes”

My favorite part about Blue Lives Matter is how the guys that are constantly thanked for quietly and thanklessly doing their thankless jobs are suddenly the loudest martyrs the day we stopped thanking them and people feel the need to apologize for it
