“I hope the Democratic party and liberal media voices are taking some serious fucking notes.”

JFC what a car. BMW hasn’t had anything with class like that in a WHILE.

So all that effort to fizzle out at what amounts to the height of the Willis - nee Sears - Tower in Chicago. Methinks the “Rockoon” attempt won’t ever happen because he’ll go broke trying to make it work. And if it does work, it’ll be his own death by righteous stupidity.

As do I, but in my case it’s because I used to own one. GREAT cars. Dynamically obsolete and gutless even when I had it 18 years ago. But very well put-together car, and an impressive specimen from its day. I had the slightly more attractive (IMO) facelifted 2G-B, an 87 SE 5-speed. I will find another one some day...

To quote Samuel L. Jackson, everyone in the autonomous driving industry today is thinking “Hold onto your butts...”

Oh My Christ CotD

A brag of Mustangs

Large-scale supersonic transport never became popular because of how much function has to be sacrificed to achieve supersonic speeds safely and securely. It’d be like trying to apply a race car ethic to the transportation of human; race cars are race cars for a reason, just as fighter jets don’t move more than a…

A Kia sports sedan and a 12.8 quarter mile time.

Dear lord I knew luxo sedan sales were bad, but I had no idea they were THAT bad. The Lincoln Conti and Caddy CT6 only account for ~3200 total sales COMBINED, so far this year. They’ll both be lucky to see 9000 units by end of year.

Say what you will, but I still think the first Sunfire GT is a good-looking car:

What’s amazing is how many American-make concepts foretold the sales lots of the future, 15-20 years ahead of time. This is basically a Toyota CH-R, 18 years ago.

So for each of the next 10 years, he would get ~$5.6b per year? That’s basically making the net worth of Steve Jobs each year for a decade. And at the end of it, he’d be in the top 1% of 1% of 1% of 1%, in a short line behind Bezos, Buffet, Gates, and Slim. As interesting a story as that is, the social implications of…

People charge that for part-out cars. $2500 is nothing for a car of any age.

NP back to front. Anyone who votes CP, ya’ll are nuts.

The Fiero is such an underrated car. Ahead of its time to a degree, perhaps not in terms of engineering, but in terms of meeting a need (think about it: Honda’s recently departed CR-Z is basically this type of car). It’s a great platform for a lot of interesting garage projects, not all of which need to be engine…

That was my exact first thought, too. For 2 decades teachers have been openly reviled by the right, whose rhetoric has gotten increasingly virulent and dismissive.

Knew a guy who took his early 00s Grand Prix GTP to the drag strip and did this with the fronts. The result was basically just like this. Smokiest, most hilarious burnout I’ve ever seen, and I’m not a burnout guy. But it was absurd how the tire cloud he produced.

To protect against unnecessary and ill-advised engine wear.

No, what I was saying was the ‘14-19 Silverado/Sierra shaved ~250lbs from the GMT900 (07-13) trucks, and the new one shaves a claimed 4-500 more, thus about equaling Ford’s 750lb drop without going aluminum as much as Ford has.
