Here’s the thing: Nissan’s dealers aren’t focusing on used Nissan sales. They’re focusing on used car sales in general. Every manufacturer fights this battle with their dealers. The dealers want to maximize their used car sales because they make more money per unit on the sale, and they don’t care if the used car they…

Hell yeah. Going bald is hard enough as a guy, who isn’t a public figure, and doesn’t have to contend with the Neanderthal Right trying to light you up on the daily. I can’t even imagine how difficult it’s been for her, but she’s got the guts to do some good with it.

My ex-girlfriend had one. Pretty good little car for normal humans. Super reliable, cheap to buy and maintain, capable of carrying lots of stuff. About the only bad things I can say about it is that it’s totally anonymous-looking and the oil filter is in a dumb location.

WRC has been crazy for drama the last four months. Tanak wins the driver’s title in a Toyota the same month he departs for Hyundai, Hyundai wins the manufacturer’s championship when Rally Australia gets cancelled, Evans leaves M-Sport for Toyota and Citroen pulls out of the sport entirely after Ogier leaves to join…

Because FCA owns the design language of the Wrangler. Doesn’t matter if it hurts Jeep sales or not - nobody is allowed to make miniature copies of Jeeps and sell them without giving FCA a cut, because they’re making money by heavily referencing FCA’s design. In other words, because FCA owns the Jeep design language,…

It’s less about the location and more about the fact that Mahindra is building those Jeeps under contract - meaning FCA and Mahindra have a deal where FCA gets a cut of every Jeep that Mahindra builds and sells. There’s no way that contract gives Mahindra unlimited rights to FCA’s design language and brand ID to make…

Incorrect. 10's or GTFO.

Who is also somehow better for kids with peanut allergies.

What you’re describing is the 500 Abarth Trofeo series, with 100% less pops and bangs.

I doubt anyone is actually paying those markups. Just because the dealers are asking for it, doesn’t mean people are going to pay it - unless you’ve talked to someone who has actually put down $58k on a Palisade.

Wait, there is a Stonewall Jackson/Robert E. Lee holiday in Virginia? Are you fucking joking?

He also published this piece at 8 in the goddamn morning. I’m running on about one and a half cylinders at that point in my day, and Torch is over here mapping small connected irregular volumes inside bizarro 80's cheese wedges.

Morgan chassis-es have been steel since 1936. The body panels are laid over a wood framework, and that whole structure is then bolted onto a steel chassis that holds the engine, suspension, gearbox, etc. It’s confusing because usually we use the word “frame” to mean the underlying structure of the chassis, but the…

You mean August N’gutu Liebowitz Clementine?

In his defense, TFA was about as heavy-handed a remake of Episode 4 as you could possibly achieve without actually doing a shot-for-shot copy. I remember watching it thinking “are they seriously just going to blow up another goddamn Death Star?”

Thanks for the extra science! I figured other people would come along and re-correct my correction.

It took Takata years to develop an airbag that does not use ammonium nitrate, which can break down over time in hot and humid conditions and ignite too quickly, meaning that cars in the south and west have been targeted for recalls first.

That is everyone’s idea of fun.

It’s a Daytona.
