Sure, Tesla employs people. Sure, they were important to getting the EV movement started. But at this point they’ve gotten so complacent and listen to so many of Musk’s bad ideas that they need to be called out on it.

I don’t think I’ve done either of those things you’ve accused me of in this article.

I love Ferrari, I hate SUV’s, but let’s not kid ourselves: if tall cars with stupid names and weirdly impractical design were the thing back when Enzo was alive, he’d be building and selling them in order to go racing. That’s all that mattered to him. “Purists” don’t like that.

...and the Tesla driver failed to get out of the merging lane.

A 7 liter LS7 weighs 450 lb, approximately the same as a 3.4L NA Porsche flat 6. Comparing to any turbocharged engine would be even sillier.

Yup, small block or LS.

I know it’s kind of a cliche at this point, I know I’m sort of sick of it as the go-to for ambitious engine swaps, but...

Or a Camaro if you occasionally need the 2+2 seating.

That’s a shitty situation, but it’s cool that you can do something enjoyable for her in the time she has left. There will probably be a lot of sensible suggestions, but how about this:

Hard disagree. That 6 series still looks ugly.

Clearly you’re not at all interested in motor racing then.

If I had a $55,000 budget for a toy, it would be very tempting to splurge another $10,000 or so to get a C8 Corvette that will run circles around the Supra.

Yes, they sound great. My favorite part is when they scrape the undercarriage across that grain of sand on the road.

Every car has launch control: A Proper Driver.

They went out of style before they came out....

Be sure and pack your bailing wire, duct tape, a screwdriver, hammer and pliers ‘cause this shitbox is going to break down at least once....

Stef is from Texas, too young to remember the cold war, and drives a Porch. The Trabant is literally a rolling Superfund site. It’s the moral equivalent of thinking a case of the clap is “neat”.

I don’t get the worship of Soviet-era shitboxes.

This, and only this:
