The more egregious inaccuracy will be the “America Fuck Yeah” mis-telling of the story, peddling a false narrative that it was the salt-of-the-earth Ford good old boys who stepped up and defeated the evil soulless monsters at Ferrari.

Yes it does bother me. Especially if I’ve actually seen footage of the fictionalized events or seen them live.
Regarding physics, things like Initial D, Nightrider, Blues Brothers, the The Fast And The Furious movies from the fourth and beyond, and Speed Racer all get a pass because the premise is already patently…
I probably would have been too wrapped up in the “movie” to have noticed the wrong track. But let’s take the barriers as an example. Let’s say a complete layman goes to see the movie. They won’t know what kind of barriers are period-correct. But if the barriers were shown as they really were, the layman might notice…
What’s important to me is being able to open an article in Jalopnik without a video autoplaying.
I have to admit, this is the first time I hear about Infiniti pulling out of Europe, they’ve never been too successful but I regularly see them on the road here in the UK at least, albeit in crappy diesel form. I’m still holding out for a first gen Q45 that somehow made its way over here...
The US is situated about 7500 miles from Iran. Iran has never directly attacked the US. The Shah was not a US “ally”, he was put in place by CIA facilitated coup that overthrew the elected government. He was a murderous ruler who tracked and killed people around the world as well as in his country. He was put in…
The allocation is solely for the winning bidder and may not be transferred. Winning bidder must meet eligibility requirements determined by Ford, at its sole and absolute discretion, to obtain the Ford GT allocation.
I liked it when Ford beat Ferrari on the track. Beating them on the snobby douche circuit is less impressive.
Godzilla has a 2.0L 4-pot, the NSX isn’t mid-engine. But a NASCAR stock car is too different from a production car...
I really don’t think they can recycle Assassin’s Creed anymore than they already have.
“Stick to DRIVING cars” is my favorite extremely specific stay-in-your-lane comment to date
Dude, you should’ve seen it in the late 70's/early 80's — The sky was orange and brown, all the time. If CA hadn’t enacted their rules, and if other states hadn’t joined, the deaths from pollution in this country would be goddamn unimaginable.
The average new vehicle price won’t go down, because it is the consumers that determine the price of the average new car. If consumers wanted cheaper new cars, they would buy cheaper new cars. Nissan would be struggling to keep up with Versa production.
Rec’d for quoting a Rule of Acquisition
I think you and I have talked about this before, but I remember growing up in the 90's (at this point, it was better than the previous two decades) and Corona, the Valley, LA were smog filled pools of hell. My mom couldn’t visit her friend in Pomona on certain days because the air quality was so poor.
No, because all of these vehicles are built to the California standard. The argument that if we repeal these regulations, and car manufacturers make “dirtier” cars the price of cars will go down is absurd. We’re already used to these prices—even if the dirtier cars are cheaper to make, there’s no reason to pass those…
Even if they succeed in declawing CARB, you would have to be crazy as an automaker to do anything but continue to voluntarily adhere to the CA standards with the expectation that the rules will change back eventually.
I consider us a news and opinion website, with stories that run the gamut from 6,000 word investigative pieces to other stuff. We do a mix of original reporting, aggregation and commentary here, often in the same stories. You are welcome to agree or disagree with what we do and say in the comments.
No my article was not particularly flattering towards Tesla. Musk did this attempt on a whim and that is simply the wrong way to go about things. Especially things with this level of risk.
