But what it also previewed is our imminent future of unprecedented corporate control over how we drive and what we drive.

Well I will send an email to Ford to cancel the whole project then. “Scrap it, boys. There’s a guy on the internet who only hauls stuff in his 2WD speed bump scraper, so no need for the Raptor.”

At some point in a gearhead’s life, we mature beyond the posters of supercars and top trumps specs, and realize that there will always be something faster, something more expensive, something sleeker. That’s when we turn into Torchinsky and start looking for weird instead of exotic.

There’s a reason there’s a law against price gouging. People who desperately need staple goods in short supply exist, and if you let gas prices hit 9.99 a gallon, and bread to hit 15 a loaf, people would get desperate and desperate people do dangerous things. The law exists to keep society civil in times of disaster,…

I’ve never understood people who will go great lengths and inconvenience to save an insignificant amount of money on gas.

Damn that sucks man.

Texas resident here. Nobody is filling up their cars in fear of paying an extra $5 per fill up. People are filling up because gas is getting impossible to find. I would gladly pay 2008 prices for gas right now.

It’s the kind of math you do when you want to further a narrative, my friend.

I assume he is going by dual pol velocity scan, which where he was would have been about 2000' above the ground. So it is a little off, but until the DOW readings come in (and other ground observations) it’s all we have to go by. Some of the guys in Rockport down by the waterfront did have anemometers and recorded…

Blue Shed lives.

It’s his fucking job you dipshit.

If you haven’t already, get the Periscope app and follow him. Jeff is a mad man when it comes to storm chasing. Hurricanes, tornados, strong storm fronts... Say what you want about him, but his work has been featured on many different news networks live. He warns a lot of people about strong weather in the areas…

This is in Texas not Florida.

Well, in the defense of the ‘slow’ nature, doing the math would prove otherwise.

I think we’ve long since established that 2500$ is well within “Fuck it” territory when talking about a running and driving and generally rust free car. This is a prime target for restoration and that 2500 price is a very low barrier to entry. NP all day, every day. Even if it isn’t your taste, you have to admit it’s…

The driver was trying to real the Mustang in. Mustangs cannot control themselves and always head for the nearest crowd. It’s just instinct.

I am a big Land Cruiser enthusiast as well...lol

(when you’re out on the town and the edibles hit)

“Finally, I need an automatic gearbox or some other two-pedal setup because traffic sucks too much to enjoy a manual.”

Here’s the attitude that’s killing (killed)manual sales. The blind acceptance of this excuse. Traffic sucks when you’re in an automatic too. I sit in 2 damn hours of SoCal freeway traffic every day and…

Whoa.
