Dixon is painfully dull, but that was a really well-run race by Ganassi. Dixon’s teammates did everything they could to help him win and he drove the way he usually does. Kanaan was great to watch, probably the most aggressive I’ve ever seen him.

This could be a great turn of events for MMP if what MyTime says is what they actually do.

Two things: 1) David Tracy, your diligence is a marvel, and I pray for your sanity as you write for cars #123 - 176.

Son, I am disappoint.

No Steve McQueen Green = No Buy

Saw that epic finish coming a long way out, especially since it’s Road America. Everyone who won their class had to fight like hell to get the win though.

The Ferrari didn’t get the best line through the turn thanks to some very worn tires that went off at just the wrong time. Gave Bergmeister just enough room to tuck inside and from there on the Porsche was on the ideal side of the track.

Automotive advertising is the same way. Sure, you can talk about the Ford GT with a few people, but once you start with Miatas or Alfas, you can see their eyes start to glaze over. It’s all about sales.

If there was a silver lining, it’s that the FR-S is holding its value fairly well. I think, looking at the situation as a whole, we don’t realize the true cost of big ticket items until it’s too late.

As a millenial who made literally every bad decision possible when buying a car (focusing on payment amount, leasing, then having to buy it out after going way over the mileage limit), I definitely learned the hard way.

They were perfect candidates to follow Suzuki on out, but for some reason they decided to start dropping money into their U.S. efforts in 2012 or 2013. Along came the Mirage and Outlander Sport, then the company’s first months in the black in years.

I’ve been a very bad jalop, neglecting my E36/7 clownshoe for years. Needs a new clutch desperately, along with the rear suspension fix everyone says BMWs of this era need.

Gone to the land of Cupertino to work on the new iCar ProBook.

A big part of what separates the great from everyone else is the production value. Top Gear and Petrolicious, to me, are at the top. The editors and videographers show an insane amount of passion and creativity. Add in some of the incredible backdrops and there’s never anything dull on screen.

They also managed to stumble upon the greenhouse of a 2nd gen Prius.

Supply was definitely a problem, especially in the beginning of the year. Dealerships were getting the preorders and the interest but production didn’t ramp up for months.

Our hatred for beige sometimes clouds the fact that these rental-fodder sedans can actually be tons of fun. 268 hp V6 in the Avalon, 278 in the Accord V6, 292 in a Charger - it’s bonkers!

Love the exterior and engine, but could never live with that interior. $8500 far too steep, so CP.

Honestly, I could see 90s JDM sports cars appreciating as a whole. At least, the clean, unmodified editions.

Fully agree about the advice to get a place to stay, especially for the longer races.
