This makes no sense at all. Whoever heard of anyone getting slapped for going beyond expectations? If GM or Kia want to meet the Federal mandate, all they have to do is meet the California one. Other markets have stricter standards, so it’s not like they don’t already have the ability to do it. This is insane.

Neat.

In many ways, Mitch McConnell is worse than Donald Trump.

Free Solo was a movie that made my palms sweat.

This is all true (also an Oregonian), but a log truck can’t stop faster than a SUV.

I totally, definitely, 200 percent wasn’t being sarcastic when I called it weird. Nope. I’m never sarcastic. Never have been, in my entire life. Not once!

I'm holding off buying my DBX until they have a smoking package. I need a black silk smoking jacket, a leather cigarette holder, leather covered hookah and leather covered prints of Playboy interviews.

Tranny swap into a better ZJ, and keep the cowl tag from the original as a souvenir/documentation.

Saddest part about rolling that car is putting those hideous wheels at eye level.

It’s perfectly fair to have mixed feelings about the Cannonball Run, to say the least. Some see it as a crucial part of American car culture, a rebellion against traffic laws. Others see it as a pointless and dangerous provocation. In truth, it’s all of those things and more, and I’m eager to see the full picture…

Where do you see wealth politics? I see perfectly legitimate questioning of the environmental impact of services like this in the last fifth of a long and detailed article. Should the extremely valid concerns raised by carbon-powered transport not be covered on a site that’s dedicated to the subject of motor vehicles?

The dude didn’t tighten his manifold rivets. It probably popped a warning on his laptop, but he kept going.  Seen it a thousand times....

See now, if the Lion HAD done what lions do, the lion would’ve been killed. And it would’ve been this woman’s fault. 

Maybe this is kind of cruel, but I wish for something to happens to her. At the very least, a heavy fine, ideally, jail time. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes something something.

If you can get the vast majority of places without a car, why have one. For a rare out of town trip, or even a costco run, you can just rent one (either a traditional rental or a zipcar-type thing) and it will still be vastly cheaper than paying to own, maintain, and park a car while not wasting space in cities for…

Well that settles it, Mercedes will have a shitty motor under the new regs and Renault will be back to making winning engines again. That is how Mclaren just works nowadays. 

GM has been dead to me since they killed Pontiac.
