The burning of fuel is irrelevant as the minimum mass of the car is without fuel. I believe they make them drain it at the end before weighing.

Honda Fit...but make it an EV. Honda can borrow Chevy’s electric tech from the upcoming Bolt (like they did with the Prologue) and make a new Fit now with even better interior packaging and flexiblity.

I’m old enough to have seen revered drivers, people like Senna and Schumacher, perform acts that would get you banned from the sport now. I agree this was whiny and petty, but it’s hardly unheard of from “championship caliber” drivers.

I’ve worked at 5 manufacturing plants in my tenure. Every single one has at least 5,000sq/ft of space unused at all times. Whether it’s old meeting rooms, storage rooms, cafeterias, flat out open floor space, or condemned areas due to asbestos (you’d be shocked how many plants still have asbestos). Albeit, this is a…

I loved that whole series. It was great.

I see nothing in this article that makes me think the dealership did anything negligent or intentionally wrong, story is about a loser of a human being intentionally criminal. The service manager is a POS, make an example of him while attaching reasonable damages to the dealership as the entity with deep enough…

They sold his trade because the trade part of a dealer often has nothing to do with the finance side. A trade comes in and is usually immediately processed for resale at the dealer if it is a cherry of a car, or more likely sent to auction. This process happens very quickly. Hours or days. They do not hold the cars…

Bad dealers are bad. There are ~18K new car dealerships in the US. The vast majority of them are perfectly fine.

That’s not necessarily true?

It’s a fundamental truth that, when optimizing a ratio, the denominator is where the focus will go. Driving that denominator to zero pushes the result to infinity.

I hate to agree, but...I agree. IANAL, but as far as I can tell, this douchebro was already on the hook for assault by throwing the drinks at her. I don’t blame her for being pissed, but as satisfying as it is to see, this wasn’t so much self defense as revenge, made worse by the fact that he could have done some real…

Most likely a BHPH lot that doesn’t release the title to you until you pay off the absolutely absurd amount ($6k for an 18 year old Taurus is larceny!).

Honda doesn’t sell them here because the volume and profit per vehicle doesn’t work. Same as GM/Ford/OtherGuy don’t make or sell compacts anymore. The added cost of labor/materials for a larger vehicle is smaller than the profit gain on the mighty SUV/giant pickup. Ford makes dirt on each Maverick; big bucks on an…

*Looks at title and then looks at author...nods unsurprisingly*

Of all the things to complain about, this is pretty much a non-issue. Steering effort is always highest at a stop since the tires are 100% scrubbing. It’s not a good way to see the response from any system. Even a slight roll would probably make it much less noticeable

Necessary Roughness!

That’s Bradley for you. Always been this way.

I don’t get the last paragraph. Are we supposed to feel differently because he’s good at golf?

Yes

Am I the only jalop that misses the days when this site always referred to him as Bob “Maximum” Lutz?
