For what it’s worth, their market capital today is a little over 4 times what it was when the handshake occurred.

Did you just use the word “professional” on a Jalopnik comment?

So I heard you like boats...

I came here to agree with you 100% on the “fuck bedbugs” thing. Back in the day they migrated from a neighbor above me to my bedroom. By the time I found them they were everywhere...I just thought I had been getting bit by mosquitoes. Even after a couple foggy bug bombs all I had to do was peek behind a wall poster…

Disregard previous comment...performance shops are another thing entirely.

I guess I don't understand why he has to get paid up front? The customer is already giving you their car and keys. They simply don't get them back until the job is paid for. Maybe I'm missing something?

Funny thing is I bet you have no trouble getting a test drive in an S3. Damn shame those aren’t found in hatch form anymore.

Come on, he was awesome in Stardust!

The 691 of the Tesla isn't stupid? Usually trap speed is a clear indicator of power, but in this case it's also an indicator of limited gearing. The Tesla is still using a fixed gear electric motor which makes peak torque at zero rpm and goes down from there. By 70-ish mph, the car is losing power and acceleration…

Neither does the NX, which would be the RDX’s most logical competitor. But we’re talking about bigger stuff here.

But officer, I was only going 65...

Ferrari is in the envious position to be able to dictate who buys their cars. There are more people wanting to buy a LaFerrari that there are cars to be bought. Why let this douche buy one? All he’s going to do is drive it off a cliff.

It’s not perfect, but it does help. Friction still exists, but the gas trapped in the deactivated cylinders helps offset the rotating mass (almost like an air version of a garage door torsion spring), and when firing fewer cylinders it allows the throttle to open more to reduce pumping losses. But, the downside is…

You mean, “Actually, that’s not my job.”

That is why if / when automakers get this to work, you should see a fairly substantial increase in highway fuel economies.

Grabbed a bottle last week! It’s ok if I can only get it once a year, because to be honest, that’s something you probably only want to drink once a year if you value your liver.

In other news -

Exactly! Just like Infiniti is trying to do now and Acura desperately needs to do remain relevant. With all the premium equipment you can get in a Honda these days, I wouldn't be surprised if the higher trim pilots and accords are poaching Acura sales.

From what I’ve seen Cadillac may be trying to fill / create a niche temporarily until the true S-Class / 7-Series competitor comes out. It appears that the CT6 is going for the people that want “flagship technology without the flagship size”. Who knows, it just might work to earn them some recognition and build up…

True, but regarding kei cars in particular - do they really even exist outside of Japan? Plus to call this car small is half the story...the largest a kei car can be according to current regs is 11.2 ft long and 4.9 ft wide. By comparison the first-gen Mazda Miata, a pretty small roadster already, is 13 ft long and…
