I am just wondering what the thought process was for not driving on the other side of the road? 

what are the odds that this wasn’t theft?

Whilst I agree with your larger thesis that the costs of repair and replacement are ridiculous, I wouldn’t necessarily call carving into a car to get at the headlights making something ‘easy-to-steal’. It requires even more preparation and forethought than breaking into a window to riffle through the glovebox, and I…

Feels like the beginning of the recent All Quiet on the Western Front when all the German schoolboys are excited about signing up for their big wartime adventure.  Oops.

It’s cool, but was it really necessary to make them “active”? Would the penalty of having “passive” skirts to direct air around the tires during lower speeds have negated the benefits at higher speed?

Curious the rate of this feature being non-functional when these are on the used market in 10 years vs the 3000GT’s active aero

*Dealers shouldn’t be allowed to spec their cars

Seeing as most of these are not actually “great”, here’s another forgotten coupe, the Toyota Echo Coupe

My honorable mention: second-gen (or even first-gen) Mazda MX-6 and Ford Probe. Preferably in LS and GT (2.5L V-6) trim, with the five-speed.

The best part about this: Dealers are clearly so focused on being able to maximize their revenue at the expense of customers that they really don’t care how this looks.

What would we ever do without the valiant dealerships acting in the best interest of consumers protecting us from the big evil Feds?

My interest in these remasters just increased tenfold. TR’s camera and controls were crap back in ‘96 so fixing those will already be a huge improvement. Everything else is just icing on the cake.

The simple answer is that the producers knew that if they submitted the show as a drama it wouldn’t stand a chance of winning, especially up against a juggernaut like Succession. It’s the same reason there are more than a few actors who have won major awards in supporting categories when they were clearly the leads.

There is no logical debate here at all. The Bear is a fantastic show, but it shouldn’t remotely be considered a comedy, and it’s not fair to the other actual comedies to put them in that category.

What’s dumb is that it needlessly takes away from something that is still ridiculously impressive. I’m not an Elon stan, the guy’s an idiot. And other than forcing it to happen, likely had nothing to do with the engineering of this thing. But it’s still an electric truck towing a Porsche and beating another Porsche (su…

Boeing doesn’t manufacture the cockpit transparencies, PPG does.  Transparencies are a wear item like everything else on the plane.  

I was an automotive engineer at the time this test was being developed. I worked for a major automotive company in R&D and specifically in doors.

Being unable to take on more debt for a necessary item because you’re already mired in debt for another necessary item doesn’t sound like a problem you should be having in the first world.

If I could buy another RWD, stickshift, no-screens e91 BMW wagon I would be leaving skidmarks to get to the dealership. I don’t know that I would even care what the price was very much.

I get it. He’s good-looking, charismatic, willing to make fun of himself, works hard and is funny enough for mainstream America.
