Why is that surprising? Same story here in AZ: if ANY fault is found, CE light or not, you have to get it fixed before they’ll test you again. Bad trans fluid will definitely affect mileage performance because gears will be held longer before the next cog moves in, and if your friend’s car is older and has less than 6…

LA and SD are not red areas, for one thing. I mean, you can take the desert areas from the border all the way up to Bakersfield if you want, but...

I haven’t seen this show yet, but I was semi-baited into clicking on one of the right-wing opinion pieces (immediately backing out of it after seeing “National Review”) covering how Chapelle is somehow magically their man, now. Queue the week of culture wars oped pieces that are trading barbs over disgusting white…

Dude, that crap is so played out. The more you fight political correctness, the more you will lose. I’ll explain the reason, since I can’t recall a single time in my life when a conservative even knew what it actually was, let alone used it correctly, or further that any 2 conservatives used the term epithetically in…

Finally, a Merc CUV I could see myself in. The stance is right, it looks good, it appears to have lots of functionality for its size, and it’s quick enough while not making so much HP that I’d be afraid it’d break before 10k miles. If there’s going to be a GLB 4X version, I might still want that a bit more, but this…

The thing I’ve noticed is, as someone who is “left” because I’m not anything the modern conservative and/or GOP base would recognize I can’t say I’ve ever met a single “leftist” that gave a shit about how anyone lived as long as it wasn’t negatively impacting someone else. Seriously, we’re being told by a libertarian…

Ya they sound fine with something aftermarket to bring the bassy brute out of the V6. I found it odd even when the Z33 was new how Nissan had settled on this soft, purry hum that had no bass to it. I haven’t heard any other stock 6 sound like that; unique, but not necessarily what I’d want.

Ya, the Beretta was the better-looking car. There were so many versions of it, too:

LOL you buy that crap?

It would be more red meat for his troglodytic base. But anyone honestly proferring to roll back emission standards would have been tilting at windmills even if this were 2012. How would you sell cars getting more value out of a gallon of gas or a unit of energy generated in any kind of powerplant even to the average…

Mmmm, you sound like a tone-policing asshat. Democrats should work with the GOP?

*Why?*

They absolutely did make manual Bajas. Doug Demuro just reviewed one a few days ago.

My first thought, too. I was just watching this 4 days ago...

Nope. They are “skating to where the puck is going to be”. I think they both see that Tesla has made some waves, and the sooner they follow suit, the sooner electric EoS will come down.

This was known as far back as I think F&F6. Each top-billed male had as part of their contract that they can’t really lose any of their fights, including the ones with the other top-billed male actor(s). I’m sure some of it is ego, but I’m also sure more of it has to do with future marketability and how good your…

I’ve been surprised that though we now have power figures for this mill, nobody has highlighted the OHV (the “cam-in-block” term, while being more accurate, sounds stupid) design of this engine, especially coming from a company that spent more than 2 decades putting OHC V8s in their HDs. Clearly simplicity and…

Right. Just look the Teklanika River up on a map (since the average human has the ability to do that from just about anywhere in this age). It’s dead-center in the middle of a state that is as large as half of the rest of the country, and the only “close” “city” is Fairbanks (60+ miles away at best) and even then it’s…

Fun fact: Other than the C2, the C7 Vette was the shortest-lived generation.

That’s already the case.

Ya, the last 12 months I’d been thinking “there’s no way Chevy is going to price this thing at 6 figures to start; they’d kill the brand and a big portion of their fan base.” But I couldn’t see how the price wouldn’t go up to a lot closer to 6 figures. But making an exotic for a lower price than any exotic has ever…
