This F-250 is probably only marginally shorter than the Ram. The Ram has a megacab and short bed; this F-250 (or F-350 SRW) appears to have a bigger bed than the Ram, which would mean the F-250/350 is still about as long as the Ram. The Ram would be able to handle the same obstacle the F-250 did, just fine. The…

Doesn’t help that this guy bought the Mega Cab model. If he hadn’t, he’d have a better chance of getting over that. Just dumb either way, though. What is he trying to get to, and how did he come upon the notion that his 3.5-ton 7/10ths semi could go anywhere he wanted it to? I’m guessing that if his truck is still…

Freakin’ easiest NP in a while.

Ya, these Vir/antages are a perfect explanation of how money can’t buy taste. Or a decent build contract with quality above kit car status. Huge tires, ungainly proportions, the chassis looks disconnected from the body, those British parts-bin mirrors, prototype-worthy panel gaps...

Not sure this would happen for the 911. There is precedent in classic cars for companies to provide shells/chassis, obviously. But, the 911? I think the people paying thru the nose for 993 and earlier cars aren’t going to want their investments potentially devalued. Maybe that won’t happen but I see Porsche being very…

I get that NASCAR is looked at as a lower form of racing due to its very predictable track format. But, I would also say that if that’s the measuring stick for being considered advanced racing or not, then drag racing is even lower on the totem pole since most of what you see is just overly supercharged/turbo’d mega…

Finally, an abomination to unite the warring factions.

I’m trying to think of a recent CP more CP than this, but I’m not coming up with one. Maybe the $60k Vanagon, MAYBE.

Hell no, Panteras are quite pricey here. Good ones will touch $100k, and 10 years ago they were firmly in the $50-70k range. Used to know a guy that had one as his pride and joy.

Because only 1/1000th of a percent of the Note7s sold has blown up, even accounting for the 2 new reports from Florida and Australia. Batteries in literally anything can explode at any time. But the likelihood that they will is far lower than that they won’t.

Ya. I got a text message.

Another reason is because even though the car has a bad Takata airbag, the manufacturers haven’t gotten the parts to their dealers yet. I’m still waiting to replace my passenger airbag for this very reason.

Singapore is the same way. It is STUPID expensive to operate cars in those places. Makes me laugh when my fellow Americans complain about registration fees, fuel taxes, etc. here. It costs me maybe $2k a year to drive my car after fuel, insurance, reg, etc. In HK it’s 12X that much. The goverments in HK and Singapore…

I don’t know that there’s enough context here to say the Vette owner parked “like an asshole”. I can’t see anything to the left of where the video starts, other than a Huracan which, if the Vette is parked like an asshole, the Lambo owner probably was, too. But I notice the truck owner probably wasn’t man enough to…

Your perspective is clearly colored by falsehoods, creating a false perception. “Forcefully taking money from people”? This is hyper-libertarian pablum. Please explain how you would pay for the operations of a modern country. Taxes are a necessary aspect of a functioning society. There is no country of any stripe,…

Watts is full of sh!7. He lacks the education and know-how to do actual climate science. He’s been out of meteorology for a really long time, making him no longer credible in a job he even used to hold. That goes double for all the other denialist blogs like poptech, all of whom link to each other as if spouting anger…

$68,000?

I think this truck has pretty much always been Toyota’s worst example of badge engineering. Say what you want about all the Corolla-based Scions, at least there was a general lack of expectations for those products. In this case, the LX has always been a rebadged LC. And is there really anything that separates the two…

At least he wasn’t this guy:

Car show staples that will be summarily walked off a cliff at rifle point if I ever become president:
