If Mini wants to sell more cars they need to remove the post-warranty explosion timer and make that one thing I saw at the Detroit Auto show a year ago, you know, the one with the Union Jack tail lights

To be honest, I wasn’t a huge fan of the movie. It’s interesting to have pretty much the entire film shot from inside the car, but it does leave you feeling a bit claustrophobic. Furthermore, I just don’t think there’s enough car action to justify it. The chases aren’t exactly the most thrilling, especially…

In my opinion NFS has always had one glaring problem: Rubber Band AI.

For those of you who don’t know, essentially this means that if you fall too far behind the AI, they’ll slow down to let you catch back up, and if you get too far ahead, you’ll see something like a 180SX blasting up on you at speeds are that are…

I doubt the people themselves are bad. They literally don’t know any better, they live in a closed society. Exposing them to outside culture would be a shock, but I don’t think they’d react like feral dogs.

That being said, their leadership is obviously dangerous and terrifying.

I dont think you’ll find anyone who would disagree that the film is beautiful and well done from a purely aesthetic standpoint.

BUT. It’s three fucking hours of pure garbage story. It’s unoriginal, but more than that just plain boring, and full of ridiculous tropes. There’s the big bad military industrial complex that…

Depends on how the tires were. This exact same situation almost happened to me when I bought my 93 Corvette. I had literally just bought it, and while I wasn’t driving like an ass (especially because I didn’t have a plate considering it was on it’s way to a new home), I was definitely in a hurry to get home with my…

That’s as may be, but still. Just getting matter into space is a very worthy accomplishment, you’d think that building a car would be peanuts comparatively.

That was genuinely my first thought upon seeing the picture.

“they” is apparently almost everyone, from the government down to the blind alcoholic they apparently hired to do the bodywork. Again, I understand that they didn’t get the best resources. But regardless, it’s obvious that it wasn’t just that, when you look at the final product. It’s not bad because it’s not made of…

You’re missing the point. They had the ability to make a car that wasn’t shitty, and they didn’t. Also, you can’t blame a lack of resources for the assembly of the car, I could literally cut a better fender in my garage with a pair of tin snips and a file. I could also figure out how to line that door up properly even…

While that would be cool, if I owned the car I think I would keep the supercharged 8. For one, it looks absolutely beautiful, but it’s also conventional enough to be driven on the street without much trouble. And I get the feeling I would want to drive this car

I’m sorry but if you run AN ENTIRE COUNTRY you should be able to find qualified people and materials to build your shit, especially if you’re trying to prove how good you are.

And yes, they may have been hard up after the war, but you know what else they managed to do by 1951? Send a few animals into space and recover…

His name is Babou, but it should be buyer’s remorse

Jesus. Even just looking at the picture you can tell that the Soviet build quality was atrocious. Panel gaps, uneven cuts in the fenders, inconsistency in the panels. Honestly that all ruins it for me. What a pile of junk.

Now, the Buick on the other hand...

Lol I actually saw you that day I guess. I was headed to the dream cruise as well, would have stopped if you weren’t on an on ramp. But I do remember that old 911 catching my eye. Also saw a C4 Corvette that I couldn’t stop for because he was on an off ramp.

Worked at a parts store for awhile and this guy came in all mad about his van, saying “oh it eats wheel bearings, been through 5 on one corner those idiots at GM really suck blah blah...”

Come to find out he’d been buying entire wheel bearing and hub assemblies online for 25 dollars a piece (They’re usually more than…

This is exactly what they were going to do before Ed Cole started waving his dick around at every meeting

Not really... Yeah it looks like a Chevy, but personally I’m glad that you can get an understated yet handsome sleeper sedan again.

It’s like what the M5 would be today if they’d stuck with it’s original design principals instead of tarting it up with big wheel arches and M BADGES EVERYWHEREEEEEE

Drove a manual spark turbo once. Only had 11k, that fucking thing rev hung so hard it was undrivable. Tach’d it all the way up to redline, clutch in. 1 mississipi, 2 mississippi, 3 mississippi, 4 mississippi, okay now the revs have finally dropped enough to slot the next gear. Couldn’t stand it.

While i liked what Ford did under Fields tenure, this article did point out a number of very important developing technologies that ford has so far lagged behind in. I was surprised, but i can see why they did it.
