Optional catalytic converters? So, you're saying that you want our entire country to look like this?

Re: catalytic converters

What the fuck are wrong with catalytic convertors? Catalytic converters are modern miracles. They DRAMATICALLY reduce the harmful emissions from vehicles (by a huge amount...we're not talking a little thing here...a lot of people underestimate what they do), and do so in a way that is extremely power and fuel…

Please let us freely import cars at our own risk! I will gladly pay the taxes, and I will gladly pay to get it altered to meet US lighting standards. I know the cost of importing an taxes will make any such purchase silly, but damnit it's my money. Just stop giving me a bullshit reason for why I can't freely…

The US should actually mandate amber turn signals. The center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) that popped up in 1986 is great, and is now too ingrained to eliminate, but the problem it was trying to solve could have been solved with amber signals.

Hey guys! We heard you wanted a car that was practical, affordable, fun to drive, with decent power and great fuel economy. We tried to build you one...but instead we built something that is NONE of those things. We tried to check all the boxes and instead built something that is mediocre in every conceivable way. …

Honda's chasing volume, like everyone else and his brother

Like with anything it's a series of trade-offs, cost of repair will scale upwards with complexity, there's no preventing that. The question is whether or not the utility you get justifies it. Electronics in cars allow for more power, better performance, lower emissions and greater safety.

Buses are easier for a transit authority to operate, but they don't carry the full benefits of light rail (note: light rail includes but is not limited to streetcars, the main distinction being that streetcars run at street level in the flow of traffic and other light rail systems may be separated from car traffic.)

they *were* doing great in the '90s. The neon, BR Ram truck, and LH cars were printing money for them. They built up a fairly big cash deserve, then Daimler swooped in and took it all. The cheapness of the later Daimler era Chryslers was a direct result of orders from on high (Stuttgart.) e.g Wolfgang Bernhard…

Someone else pointed out that you actually can get an MKZ with those tires, so Lincoln didn't really do anything wrong.

Sure Lincoln, we totally believe that you sell the MKZ with a set of freaking Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Moving right along, nothing to see here.

I hadn't previously read about Lincoln putting Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the MKZ for auto journalists.

I said this when the story broke and I'll say it now.

I think I remember reading of a camshaft made by pressing the lobes onto a tube. Was it the Ford modular? (google...google...google..) ah HA! It was the modular...
