You’ll know they’re worried if Goodyear execs start staying more frequently at Trump properties.

There’s a blue Charger 392 or Scat Pack or something I often see crawling along in traffic on the same part of the DC Beltway as me on my way home from work. It has the shipping covers on it. I just assumed they were part of yet another Charger trim package and thought they looked kinda cool.

But, if I learned anything from watching movies, cars should be able to reach highway speeds in reverse gear.  And, there should be at least 2-3 gear shifts in reverse.  

I remember reading that, went and found a source.

I put a sleeping bag in the back of my Magnum. That makes it a sleeper.

Am I doing this right?

I think Stripes holds up fairly well for the most part.  Yeah, the public mud-wrestling scene probably doesn’t happen anywhere in the US in 2018, but aside from that I think you could remake the movie today without having to change too much.

I wait for the future when cars are totaled out because the cluster screen bricks.

Saw my first Model 3 close up in my town this weekend, and boy is that an ugly car. The front is wrong, the rear 3/4 are oddly styled, and the interior is awful.  I guess their designers are as professional as their PR people.

They only underpay because people are willing to work that job for that pay.

the problem isn’t that uber/lyft came in with a better service (it did but that can be fought with updates to the cab companies software) it’s the fact that the cabs can’t be competitive because they are restricted by laws while uber/lyft are not Examples:
1. only X number of cabs allowed to be registered in the city

If it’s similar to the US though, another big problem is that Uber is merely a glorified matchmaking service. The Uber drivers can undercut the taxi drivers because they aren’t subject to the same sort of regulations the legitimate taxi companies are. Probably the most glaring of these is commercial car insurance.

The entire industry is foreshadowing a future full of EVs, of all kinds.

Hmmm.... a V12 would require the same. :)

I there is one motivating force in the German auto industry, it’s jealousy.

I like how they’re cleaning up the lines of the new Mercedes designs.

I mean that’s a REALLY conservative “bro-lift” if it even qualifies at all.

A trucker shortage is the free market telling trucking companies that they aren’t offering enough. Better wages and more forgiving routes and deadlines would do wonders for the industry. Of course, that’s going to fall back onto other industries and ultimately consumers, but we either pay enough to ship our shit, or
