2nd Gear: The best way to help those CAFE numbers is to roll out hybrid tech to large vehicles that need the fuel economy improvements the most. I’ve been saying that for at least 10 years. I’m glad to see the Navigator/Expedition are finally getting it.

So the drivers should Bolt out of their driveway and Cruze downhill if they ever experience this issue. If they are lucky they might have a Sonic cue telling them the battery just had a Spark back to life and they’ll be on Trax to Traverse the rest of the Suburban roads to their destination.

I’ve seen plenty of shouting matches and a couple of fights on the bus. The closest I ever came to being attacked on the bus was when my daughter and I were going to see Wonder Woman on the notorious X2 in DC. Some drunk old fuck started talking crazy to me & my daughter so we politely ignored him. Then he started…

Yes. This needed to be said. Well done, sir.

The Infinity QX56 and up. I just think it’s absolutely the ugliest, most gaudy, bulbous, abhorrent machine ever designed. I feel like anyone that bought that hot pile of garbage bought it as a status symbol, but I just look at them as morons with no taste.

The Ridgeline is exactly the right amount of truck for 80% of truck buyers. Five seats, plenty of room in the bed for the occasional Home Despot run for materials or appliances, and civilized on-road handling. Will it tow your hypothetical 50' cigarette boat, or roll coal, or compensate for your micro-penis? No. …

Jeep. Wrangler.

Neutral: I’m a slacker gen-xer who’s always tried to live within my means without getting into too much debt. So I’m living in a smaller city with a decent cost of living in my second, modest home with an affordable mortgage driving an 8 year old paid for car.

And Fox News isn’t even mentioning it.

Pssht. I’m calling bullshit on his story. He says he’s in Seattle, but the photo CLEARLY shows the Sun shining.

Susan panicked, she’s accidentally drove off a loading dock and destroyed the suspension of her boyfriends beloved car.

I’m really quite baffled by the majority of responses here. I’ve been a longtime reader, sometime commenter for years, but let me clarify a few things here:

No “mental gymnastics” are needed to connect the racing event with the tragedy. A white supremacist website posted the Roadkill Nights banner on their site and were having a big old laugh about it. They made the connection for us. That’s what this story is about. Read it a little more carefully next time.

So, we have a racist president tacitly approving of white supremacists and we need to chill the F out? That’s what you get out of all this shit that’s happened over the weekend? I personally don’t blame Dodge one bit. They just got stuck in an unfortunate shit sandwich. But do you really think some people’s…

I-26 between Asheville NC and Hendersonville NC. No emergency lanes, increased traffic from “Future I-26" brings in more I-81 Semi traffic. Combine that with touristas and rednecks in massive trucks. It’s a recipe for disaster daily.

It’ll be just as slow with six lanes or even eight. Usage rises to capacity. What you really need is some high quality public transport.

I actually had a 1998 Prelude SH. I will say, after all the cars I have owned, this was definitely one of my favorites. I still miss that car:
