While not exactly automotive, one of the biggest transportation flops ever had to be the Segway (Code name: Ginger). It was hyped so much that it was supposed to change the world and the way that cities were designed. It was on covers of magazines before it was even unveiled. It turned out to be a goofy scooter thing.…

Low power, quality control issues, embroiled in scandal. If it wasn’t for Back to the Future, barely anyone would have remembered that the Delorean existed.

The Cadillac Catera. Cadillac’s effort to bring in younger buyers with an Opel-based sedan was accompanied by a huge marketing campaign featuring a duck for some reason. Both failed.

Jaguar XJ220. The concept promised a V12 super car and resulted in 1500 reservations being made with a ~$80,000 deposit.

I’m up to join Antahole.

The Dark Forest hypothesis is based on nothing but fear, and is certainly not based on any actual evidence from science or history. Unless they think we’re living in the Warhammer40K universe, it is complete idiocy suitable only for fiction. The real reason for the great silence is the size of the universe, the depths…

Go down a generation and get a very nice TJ with a 4.0L and not that hot garbage 3.8L. The 2007-2011 JK will be the black sheep and I am willing to bet a nice TJ will be worth more for like....ever.

I’m into religious freedom, too. That’s why I think it might be a nice thing if some religions would let adherents who no longer want to be a part of said religion leave peacefully. But I know that’s a bit of a big ask for Scientologists!

“It had a sticker price of $29,389, or $75,984 in today’s money.”

The real answer is a rack for your BRZ.

Do you guys proofread? He’s referring to 50mph, not “50-foot” like you wrote in the article.

Red Bull takes away your wings!

Update the Rukus to Grom running gear, throw these kick ass Motra racks and low range in it, and call it the Rutra.

This is the superest of all super cars!!!!!!

In Texas ‘freedoms just another word for nothin’ left to lose.’
