Why not? how is a mileage use tax any different from a tax on the fuel?

Well, technically yes. We haven’t bought anything as an alternative though. It wasn’t a sound financial decision to buy her a new car at the time, and now production is ending. She’s looking forward to the upcoming Mazda 3 redesign, if she likes it she will buy one, or get a good deal on a 2018.

her current car is a…

Glad i’ve talked my Fiance out of a FoST, I know they’re great fun, but for her daily commute it’s just not worth it.

I get 1mpg better than the combined rating on my f150 FX4 Ecoboost, but I haven’t hit the highway rating in some time. Only if I stick to 60mph is that possible, and on Texas freeways it’s a deathwish…

So you’ll sit in your own private box in a clogged freeway because thousands of other peoples schedules dictate they be on the road at that time.

Tell me again about that freedom?

Any racing series top level will have extremely talented engineers. Just because the technology base is limited by the regulation doesn’t mean there are not areas where they can be engineered to the n’th degree. In the 90's it was the valvetrain and making a large pushrod engine live above 10krpm for 500 miles, these…

What. Are. You. Talking. About.

Explorers and Refiners do not determine spot pump price, that’s the individual that owns the station. Blame your neighbors when the price spikes .50c and there’s a run on the station because Fox News says all the refineries are down when refining capacity can still outstrip demand.

If the standard moves up, the price probably wouldn’t drastically change because the feedstock that would have been refined to 87 and 89 would just be shifted to the higher ratings.

You wouldn’t need to change anything.

Man, if my truck ever got totaled, that 4cyl jeep would be high up on my list as a replacement.

I’ve actually watched almost every race for the past few seasons after a long sabbatical.

The racing action is good again, are there still some boring races? yes, but it’s not like a few years ago when everyone was on rails. The biggest issue now is all the ambiguity they have injected to the rules packages, pit road…

I’ve never watched a TotalBiscuit video, but I’ve been aware of him for a long time. It is always sad when disease takes people so young and with such prominence in a community. I hope he can have a peaceful life and truly enjoy time with his loved ones.

‘You might have a better power per displacement ratio, but the amount of power that actually goes through the wheels has definitely decreased. ‘

wut.

Are you saying that parasitic loss has somehow increased at a faster rate than power output? or are you saying that, despite increases in power density, overall output has…

‘Be a bad corporate citizen by removing less-expensive vehicles and replacing them with vehicles that are out of reach for a certain portion of the population.’ 

Train stations kick ass.

Tax breaks, tax breaks, tax breaks.

Also, one way a company could be a good corporate citizen is by actively supporting and maintaining their communities, a large investment in such a prominent piece of Detroit architecture is one way to do that.

Also, tax breaks.

It all depends on the execution, the only color that is universally bad is Tan/Biege of economy cars. It just screams of give-up.

White is the best looking, but least practical, so I would never own one.

Red is fine.

Will they throw a Fiesta once the renovation is complete?

Underrated comment. Have a star!

This is the correct answer. Milk chocolate is awful and for the weak minded.

I would counter that the long term health benefits of not consuming pure sugar outweigh this regressive taxation.

So are we seeing two versions of this car in the photos? A regular hatch back and a long wheelbase estate?

This car seems much larger than the current model...
