First off, you are clearly ig’nant. Now to put holes in your logic.

SRT 392. All the creature comforts, looks the same (if you get the Charger SRT over Charger Hellcat) and only lacks the power, but also the probably less-reliable blown 6.2. You also forfeit some bragging rights, but are those worth $15k to you? 485hp is still a lot of power in a 2-ton car.

I have to lend some props on this as well. Him, Zappa, and a few others were responsible for telling American society to get the F over itself when it came to music, teh SAY-TENS, and content. Extra points for doing it at the height of the Satan/back-masking craze. Shit...so many lies I was told about this music as a…

Which dovetails cleanly and smoothly into yesterday’s Jalop story about roll-coal switches.

More pure than a late-70s/early-80s Suburban?? Jesus, back then all GM did to differentiate the ‘Burban from the C-series pickups was to leave the cab in the stamping machine a bit longer. Those things were harder-nosed than an authentic 60s Grand Wagoneer.

Ya, Dee was one of the few level heads. A bit like Mustaine post-Metallica, though Mustaine had to “find Jesus” to stay that way, apparently.

“New U.S. Transportation Secretary Doesn’t Seem To Know Anything About Autonomous Cars”

Welcome to conservatism eating itself alive because it has no guiding intellects. Today, it merely exists to be against everything rational. But keep in mind, conservatives have been whinging about “liberal” media for over 100 years, so they’ve been “delicate snowflakes” on the issue for quite some time. Their…

I’ve always kinda wondered why, in the period since Chrysler put out the Autoshift automatic in the 1990s, nobody has yet made an automatic where you could be pretending to row a stick, and it just changed gears electronically when you moved the lever to through physically simulated gates.

That car may not have the power, but it has the looks.

I surprised the thing made it this far. That car hasn’t been relevant in a decade.

Complaints about the cheapness of an interior are just like the never-ending search for more value out of seemingly the lowest possible point on a scale. If we didn’t demand more and others try to find new ways to either concoct it or find it, then every car would be a Camry with 3 dial HVAC controls and a radio.

“This looks like an unholy melding of 90s aerodynamics and 70s boxiness. It’s like a married woman with a hyphenated last name: pick one and go with it.”

This is a rare case where the Monte Carlo’s overhangs look downright conservative in comparison.

While we’re speculating, I’m guessing there are some auto startups that would jump at the chance to make a case for more venture capital in order to procure a factory to produce their cars.

Chalk these incidents up to humanity never learning and never passing up a chance to be recklessly stupid in front of people. It’s not even about the dude’s rental-grade decade-old set of wheels. Why do people with expensive cars even do this? They wreck just as often. Youtube is replete with people being so stupid…

I’m fine with the front, but F-in’ A that rear end. It wouldn’t be so bad if Honda hadn’t thrown in the comic book fake vents and black details. If they had found some other way to handle that, it’d be fine; not a top looker, but far better. The only other styling issue with the back 1/3 of the car is how the roof…

I do in general agree that power is not the issue with manuals, operating them well in an era of multi-tasking while driving is the problem. I’m sure lots of place are capable of building a manual that can handle 707hp.

I would agree with this. It really is the customer that is either passively or actively killing manuals. The vast majority now don’t want to bother with manuals, on top of the fact that more and more vehicle sales are going to SUVs/CUVs, which are bigger, would suffer often from poor shift quality, and don’t make…
