Aww there’s gonna be a donnybrook up in he’ye!

Sounds like more of Uber’s law-skirting chickens coming home to roost. Being arrogant and unethical dickwads only impresses the public so much, and here they made the mistake of taking from someone else’s lunchbox.

Cut the crap about “depreciation” on the GM trucks. Go look up 2009-2012 Colorado V8 crew cab 4x4s with high 5-figure/low 6-figure mileage. They are nearly all well into the $20k range. For a 6-9 year-old truck few people wanted. Any other car would have lost 50-66% of its value by that time, and likely more due to…

Off-roading, and especially rock crawling, isn’t about covering long stretches of land. As the saying goes, it’s about the journey, not the destination.

In a market segment where there are currently only 4 entries, how the hell does the Colorado end up 6th?

Beat me to it.

Perhaps he meant one of the best-looking 90s Dodges. And on that score, he’d be right, because the only other entrants would be the Viper, Stealth, and Avenger.

Ford Probe GT is not a guilty pleasure. An understated and probably under-appreciated car. I love those things too. Very unique design. The Mazda 2.5 V6 always sounded good, too.

All the Big 3 truck makers have dealt with this. There are videos of GM and Ford trucks doing it at speed, though not that visibly.

Never could love that car. Just looked like a disassembled (pretty) CLK reassembled onto something else. Very unattractive beyond the what-the-hell-is-that effect. The engine sounds great though.

I think people focus on the dig because that’s a better measure of how the whole drive train converts fuel to speed over a greater range. There’s probably more skill involved as well if you consider launching and throttle application. When you’re at speed, you don’t need to worry about launch unless your car makes…

I was going to point this out, too. Nissan’s early VG V6s made some pretty insane numbers in the race realm. I think one of the cars you mentioned had a VG tuned to between 800 and 1000hp. We’re talking mid-80s here, not the 20-teens.

The backfiring is really over the top. I’ve heard Lambos that aren’t this crazy. But the thing does sound like an active war machine when backfiring.

Jesus, the people in that area must think the Germans are invading again.

No, that is merely reality. I speak from direct experience of this phenomenon spread across several cars.

One of the hardest CPs I’ve ever seen.

These were V6 cars.

Saturday night Pavilions car show off Indian Bend and the 101 in Scottsdale, AZ. Been to it hundreds of times, but not once can I recall being there when a crash happened. Seems in the last year or two there has been a dramatic rise in show-off crashes, probably the most notable of which was this one from summer last…

Define “intentionally fucking up”. Because they were also the world’s largest for most of those 3 decades. You’re clearly one of the idiots more concerned with losing $12b on the deal but saving jobs and most of the auto industry, than the dozens of billions of value and lost jobs that would have been an immeasurably…

“The Impala is a no go. Even if the engine and trans are intact, other things could fail.”
