“You know the story: In 2017, Steve Jobs, wearing his glorious black turtleneck, introduced to the world ‘a revolutionary mobile phone.’”

I’m gearing up for a one week trip to Florida in March, and looked into Turo as one of our potential options for a rental car. It didn’t take long for me to realize just how wildly expensive it is to rent cars through Turo.

In the event that nobody else mentions it, I’ll single out the MKV Toyota Supra... There was a lot of hype surrounding the revival of the Supra nameplate, but I feel like that hype quickly wore off when people realized what it really was.

Weren’t we also promised an SRT variant of the Dodge Dart at some point as well? I remember everybody being excited about the prospect of having a spiritual successor to the Neon SRT4, because the Caliber just didn’t do it for most.

I’m curious how the numbers would stack up if we only counted cars that burned up while parked. Completely unattended in driveways, garages, parking lots, and so on.

The average sale price of new cars has actually just crested $47,000, but the $45,000 Model 3 is still a midsize rear wheel drive sedan. The Model 3 is a wildly successful car, but it’s also competing with consumers’ (mostly nonsensical) desire to own larger crossovers/SUVs with all wheel drive. For consumers who…

I have mixed feelings on this... By now, we should all know that the batteries used in most (not all) EV’s shouldn’t be regularly charged to a 100% SoC. Most consumers are keeping them in a range of 75%-85% SoC, as is typically recommended by the manufacturer. I suppose the argument could be made that you should…

I’d love a link to that, because those results would seem to imply that increased grip is somehow detrimental to vehicle performance...

“All season tires are good enough.”

This.

At what point does it start to feel like you’re just paying the direct sales equivalent to a dealer markup? Prices change as the market changes, but $8k/22% in just a few short months...

I love driving in the snow, and most other people seem to hate the snow. That means that the best time to go out on a date was in the middle of a snowstorm. At least that’s what it meant to me when I was 18. I had a driven my 2001 Silverado through winter more than once at that point, and it felt truly unstoppable.

I like both of these... but I don’t think they compete against one another.

Article also identifies Home Depot as a retailer that uses this technology, even though the source linked in the sentence before clearly notes the opposite.

Here’s what I’d like to know...

I gave up on MoviePass after my one year subscription ended on the 14th of this month. I paid for and activated my account in January of 2018. It took them 4 weeks to send me a physical card, and no movie theaters local to me allowed me to pay and reserve seats through the app. That meant that one month of the…

I wonder if that twin turbo 4.2L V8 will make its way into other models at some point, despite the fact that Cadillac said it would be exclusive to the CT6 V-Sport. I imagine that they spent too much time, money, and effort on R&D not to. I imagine that most buyers in China are not checking off the twin turbo V8 box…

I was wondering the same, wasn’t that engine supposed to be exclusive to the CT6? If it isn't utilized elsewhere, that will have been a huge waste of money for GM. 

I don’t know... I just went back to some (now) old videos of the ZL1 lapping the Ring. There’s no doubt the ZL1 is much, much louder, but something that’s absent in this new video is any sort of supercharger whine, like, at all. Maybe I’m crazy, but I think it sounds turbocharged. I’d be willing to bet that it’s…
