I am still not a fan of wood for car interiors.

For that kind of money I think I would have gone for a Benelli over a Beretta.

Mid-engine pickup. Could be just the hook Toyota and Nissan need to gain against the big 3 in the US full-size market.

At least an El Camino has the proper number of doors for a truck. Some even had a proper engine, though I don’t know if any of those were California-legal.

I look forward to seeing the Ford Mustang Badlands and the Ford Escape Adrenaline.

Have the “doors” fixed to the hardtop. Enter and exit by moving the whole assembly up and back.

Dog dish hubcaps.

Lap times matter if you make them matter. Start demanding that NASCAR require teams to go buy a car off a dealer lot the day of the race.

I find the idea of “best” in the Fast and Furious franchise to be a little... odd.

The real surprise will be when Goose rises from the dead as part of the zombie apocalypse and Maverick is forced to bash his head in with a claw hammer.

I live in one of the midwestern areas where a number of CA people have fled to. They often live in huge houses because the mortgage payments are still way lower than their portion of the rent was on a small apartment they shared with 3-4 other people in San Francisco or Los Angeles.

Airplanes tend to have big wings too. Some of those are pretty fast.

I fail to see how this is worse than the steady stream of ranting about stick-and-clutch transmissions gradually going away. Products and technology change.

Maybe they can offer a shifter like the arcade games do, with just “low” and “high”. They can tie two different artificial engine soundtracks in to the shifter, and throw in a random probability of the car turning off when you shift. Based on what I see on the roads, I think that should satisfy a fair number of manual…

Do they have any black early-80s Trans Ams sitting around? One of those should be a test mule for their autonomous vehicle work.

Who’s the GT500 angry at? It looks like it should be enjoying itself on that run.

Maybe they should slow down the pit stop by saying only one person is allowed to do the whole stop. Then add a bit of strategy by allowing the driver to help, so they have to decide if the time it takes to get him out of and back in to the car is worth an extra pair of hands.

It obviously can’t be peak SUV yet. NASCAR still doesn’t have an SUV series.

Maybe somebody around here might try doing hand-built Jeeps and charging $50k for them (hint hint hint).

Maybe that should be its own racing league. “Formula-R(emote)” or something.
