That’s not what I said. With just a set of new tires, it is common to feel and appreciate a difference in handling without approaching the limits of traction.

On some cars, going +2 or even +1 on wheel diameter AND pairing that with a good tire can make a significant difference in handling.

I agree with the last slide to an extent. Diverse interests and modifications is what makes car culture great. The line should be drawn at modifications that have a detrimental impact to the safety of others. Where that line is drawn is debatable but there are clearly some mods that should never be allowed on a public…

BMW in particular have been quite shrewd with this game. Recent limited edition models all have the same plaque stuck to the interior: 1/500. Historically 1/500 denoted the very first car in the limited 500 car run, and the 2nd car would have a 2/500 plaque.  It was highly desirable to have the lowest number.  Now…

Even though sedans aren’t totally dead yet, they were effectively replaced sometime in the last 10 years by the mighty Crossover. The default global car for a long time has been the Corolla, which is the best selling car model in history. You cannot understate the brand equity with that!  So when Toyota developed the…

Wireless CarPlay/AA is already taking root. It’s only a matter of time before basic cars won’t require you to physically plug in your phone for connectivity.

Are you suggesting anyone that gets hit while in another vehicle’s blind spot deserves what’s coming?  That’s messed up.

I dislike blacked out lights and squats not because they look dumb, but because they are also dangerous.

Whoa...that’s a Pontiac? Wow, that guy is driving excitement!

Or this shit. 3 logos stacked up!

In some states it is illegal.  Rightfully so.

Ah but you see, now the car is worth $21.89 more. Money well spent!

If I ever suffer a terrible life tragedy that plunges me into alcoholism and then one day I have an awakening and decide to drop the bottle and reset my life trajectory, my new reason for living will to be a vigilante for dangerous lighting.

2. I question how many public chargers are truly needed at any given time. Imagine how many fewer gas stations there would be if every home had a pump in the garage. A big portion of EV owners charge at home, reducing the need to have to charge on the road.

I realize the Model Y can be optioned with a 3rd row, but calling it a “3 row SUV” is stretching things quite a bit.

I think the themes of power, freedom, convenience and the relatively low cost of fuel are big factors in the US truck market.

Yeah, he had some very sketchy road trip stories for sure.
