If you wanted to keep the powertrain Cosworth, there are options.

All of those HQ or plant locations do not have any really interesting vehicle development work. The interesting vehicle engineering jobs are in development centers which are mostly in SE Michigan, or in Honda’s case, Marysville OH.

Congratulations to Dodge on building the first proper factory Brodozer, with all the gaudy illusion of off-road perfomance. The Rebel is going to look badass (brah) while parked across four spots at Home Depot.

Is your reading comprehension really that bad, or do you just parrot the things that the construction lobby (yes, this really exists, and they spend ten of millions) spews out? I stated above that $550 is just one piece of the pie that heavy trucks pay. It can easily be over $10k/yr in use taxes, permits, etc per…

Wow, you are extremely misinformed. "free roads" for trucks? Not even close.

You desperately need to experience launch control in a genuinely fast car. And stop driving like a pussy on the street.

"artificially inflated"? Welcome to modern automotive technology. So, by your logic, are the stopping distances artificially shortened by ABS?

I'm going to assume the photog was just trying to get pictures of said premium German car in it's natural environment: blocking a bike lane. Fair enough.

Right on. For reference: Colin McRae, Rally Australia 1997, Bunnings Jumps.

Someone is trolling. Stop it!

Rod and Rhys are not even the best based on US soil (ever hear of John Buffum?). BTW, Rhys' skills were not quite the same as Rod in a rally car. No US championships, and I cannot even remember him winning an event. He has gone on to do his drifting thing and stunt driving.

Welcome to ten years ago. Yawn. This "ruin porn" stuff has been done and re-done thousands of times over. Detroit has much more to offer than some abandoned buildings.

I agree with this as well. McKlein Photography (Reinhard Klein, Bob McCaffrey and Colin McMaster) still takes my favorite automotive photographs. Not much staging to this, either.

Aaaah, I knew someone would post a Chrysler K or L-body wheel from the Malaise era.

I have size 14 feet, and can manage to heel-toe in most vehicles. However, footwear is important.

"identify mechanical problems in seconds flat"... You know that radio shows screen their callers, right? Well, these guys hand pick the questions they are asked.

@cesariojpn: What the Christ is this crap picture?

@CSUL: Hey! Don't blend that non-broken CSL wheel!

Wait... a conversion van that was not in a Wal-Mart parking lot? This story is fake!

I have a 1982 Ford pickup that was used to transport Jimmy Hoffa's body. I'm open to offers.
