I’m a fan of his, but this one was self-inflicted. He should have seen Piastri earlier than he did. 

Honestly? I think maybe the concept of ownership at all, for many. Cars are getting too damned expensive. The younger half of our country has a very small percentage of the wealth. Car companies need to offer them something compelling or they won’t participate at all. 

Tesla has been awarded the JD Power and Associates coveted ‘Least Likely to Catch Fire’ title twice.

We have such a stigma against ‘vinyl’ seats in this country. But you’re totally right. I have two cars with plastic seats, my S123 and my Subaru Ascent. Forty years between them, but they both demonstrate why plastic can make great upholstery.

I am baffled by the claim in this headline. Verstappen has been utterly dominant, yes. But thankfully the TV directors have shown little of him. Instead we see great battles all up and down the field. 

Honestly, I kind of hate this post. It has brought out many ‘I hate XXXX vehicle because I hate the people who drive them’ responses, and that’s kind of not why I come to this site.

I appreciate the replies, so I’ll be a little more clear. I’m less concerned about a battery pack outright failing than I am by diminished capacity. For instance, Tesla’s admittedly long warranty only triggers a replacement if the pack falls below 7o% capacity. On a standard-range Model 3, that’s under 190 miles of…

It feels a little bit to me like the car industry is going through something a bit similar to the bicycle industry. Unusually high demand/supply tempered them to focus on incredibly high-price offerings, for which demand kind of evaporated.

My family and I stopped at this one last week. It was truly enormous. I didn’t realize it had just opened that week.

Anything to own the libs.

I don’t think I want a garage queen anyway. I’d definitely be interested when you’re ready to sell it. 

The Evora is positively on my list. ;)

This was my question they are answering. I did love my RX8s. I actually had three of them.

This was my question they’re answering.

They’re answering my question, here. Ha. I didn’t expect to see it.

Go figure I’d get ‘well actually’d’ twice on this one. 

Do people on vacuum cleaner enthusiast sites argue about CR the way car people do?

I grew up in Elkhart Lake, seeing races at the track every summer as a kid. We saw Mario Andretti lose his shit when he ran out of fuel. We saw Paul Newman race. It was a magical place as a kid.

The overwhelming majority of people who claim to speak for the overwhelming majority don’t know what the overwhelming majority actually wants.

We live in bear country. I make damned sure every night that our cars and doors are locked - including the one leading to the second-story deck. Imagine, if all you had to eat was bugs and berries, how hard you’d work to raid somebody’s pantry or center console for snacks.
