Or they are NYC nancy boys pretending to be subject matter experts.

The benefit of an LS crate motor is that it comes with all of the electronics you need to throw it into anything and have it run. If it’s a new car, you just need a few adapters to get the speedo, tach, gas & temp gauges working.

I think it’s completely insane you have to get approval and pay $200M to show up and race.

Pretty sure that all the jobs related to building and servicing transmissions, turbo and super chargers, oil pumps, radiators, spark plugs, fuel injectors, mufflers, catalytic converters, and on are set to get the axe with the transition to electric vehicles.

but is said to have over 500 horsepower.

Enthusiasts: Please don’t get rid of the Fiesta.

I nominate the Ford Ecosport. The subcompact CUV with a name so bland that most people forget it even exists. Sure they’ve made objectively worse cars in the past, but it’s hard for me to think of something as unknown that you could still go out and buy new today (although not next year, RIP).

Christopher Moore is ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS. He did a sequel to A Dirty Job called Secondhand Souls a few years ago and nailed it. I’d call his humor “highbrow crude”. 

“But handling MAGIC. If you compare, and I did, ATS-V vs C63 AMG, M3, and Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio, by FAR the best car of the bunch dynamically was the Cadillac.”

Now playing

Jason Cammisa, who has driven EVERYTHING, said on his Carmudgeon YouTube/podcast that GM is tied for the best suspensions in the world with Ferrari, that they can do things with big cars that defy physics, and he’s just mad that they won’t tell him what they’re doing.

I will not stand for CTS-V slander. That thing handles like a dream for such a big car. GM’s chassis engineers have been knocking it out of the park for almost 20 years, since the Holden Monaro came out.

We will never have a $25K EV to purchase new. I don’t know what you’ve been drinking this morning. When 2027 rolls around, the average new car will probably be around $60K

the average cost for an EV in the US is $60,000. Just make a simple EV hatchback already and sell it in America for $25,000. I will buy it, I promise.

Touchscreens are bad.

No, hideaway headlights are:

Eh, I had an HD truck that I drove nearly every day and I loathed it. Quad cab Dualie, it sucked to park, handled like shit, was slow particularly considering how much fuel it used, rode like shit too. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the truck when I was hauling an enclosed trailer, but it sucked the rest of the time.

Revs are better than outright speed. I’d rather enjoy some revs and go slowly than be hauling ass with a low-revver.

Formula 1 is not interesting. Not going to give people shit for watching it but I’m pretty damn tired of people telling me I should.. it’s just not interesting to me OK?
