That’s just a bad driver, the Prius actually has a gear made for down hill that will charge the batteries without having to apply the brakes. My understanding is it works kinda like down shifting to a lower gear and using the engine braking to charge the batteries.

The Toyota Prius is truly the left-lane merchant of doom. There’s no getting around them. They will match your speed no matter what you do, and God help you if there’s another one next to you. Sit back and relax, because you aren’t getting anywhere quickly.

Not a car brand, but a tire brand - Firestone. My grandfather worked as a manager for the plant. They gave him a lifetime discount that carried over to his wife after he died. We maintained going there for decades...

That just makes me think about all the people in big trucks around here that want to try and back into a parking spot. They end up taking multiple passes to try and squeeze around the lane without hitting cars next to the spot or on the other row, because they don’t know how to drive something so big... usually means

Seriously. I’ve considered getting a challenger, but every time I start to seriously put thought into selling my current car and picking one up, I will see a dozen of them in a single day, most of which are driven by the mullet guy or the sideways flat brim hat guy, and I think to myself, “yeah, that’s not me.”

#9 - Downsized turbo engines are often more fun than their bigger, naturally-aspirated counterparts. Turbo noises are fun, turbo torque is fun, the feeling of a turbo building boost as you change the engine’s load with your right foot is fun. More small turbo engines.

Thank you. It’s unsafe, it should be intuitive and the learning process shouldn’t involve taking your eyes off the road to see the screen and/or the stupid knob between the seats. I specifically didn’t get a Mazda 3, because of that idiotic control knob.

Veloster Turbo - the rear shocks, those things needed to be replaced when I hit a freaking 4x4 during rush hour some 6 years ago. I just keep putting it off, and now I really need to fix it... maybe next month.

Well, if you’re going fast enough, what’s behind you doesn’t really matter.

Yep, Tennessee has many mountain roads in the east, hilly roads in the middle, many winding along rivers, and then flatter country/farmland roads in the west. All with great views and usually pretty well taken care off.

I can confirm, the best driving roads in Tennessee are the ones that don’t have nicknames.

Tennessee has some good ones, once you get away from the interstate and the big name roads like the tail of the dragon and the natchez trace parkway - both have too much traffic to really enjoy them. The country roads in most of Tennessee and the mountain roads in east Tennessee are all beautiful drives with a decent

That is the coolest looking open wheel racer design I have seen in a very long time.

Actually, for every Viper, there were probably dozens and dozens more Calibers (they sold some 400,000 of those things), and don’t forget about all the Nitros.

You know, if only Dodge hadn’t made so many trash cars over the course of their existence, then yes, I would agree with Dodge and SRT (which was sub brand of Dodge/Chrysler). But hey, if you to take a snap shot of just about anything at the perfect angle, sure you could make it work...

That sir is more than just a ‘68 Charger, it’s the Hell Charger, the ride of the newer Ghost Rider. I’m smelling a FF and Ghost Rider crossover to save the world from these horrible future human aliens and the colliding earth problems.

I always thought these things were just Quads with a better seating layout, after looking into them more, apparently I was mostly wrong... but the price is terrible. There is no way I would spend the money they are asking for these things, I would rather buy a beater and turn it into a fun off-roader.

It’s like porn, I can’t define it, I just know it when I see it.

Staying within the “100 foot” distance of dump trucks during the daily commute. The lack of paint on the front of my car shows just how often I use to do this.

There’s also the big problem that Netflix made most of their brand by giving people access to older shows that belonged to other companies, now that those companies have their own streaming services, they are stripping Netflix of it’s major source of content. Sure, they have their own shows now, but Stranger Things is
