Um...”for all the crap we give Tesla”...you are their biggest fanboys. This article isn’t a rip on them, you are praising them yet again.

I honestly prefer the opposite. An engineer who cannot pirate ‘The Mandalorian” or the 45 versions of the “Lion King/Marvel*.*” Disney has recently pulled from Netflix is incapable of functioning in the long term. That is easy street compared to what they have to learn daily in order to be an asset and not a liability.…

Alt take: Doctors spend a lot of time learning one system that never changes. Engineers spend a lifetime learning things that change every 6 months. Neither is “better” but any doctor who thinks he is can suck a dick because he hasn’t had to learn a thing in the last 20 years and competent engineers have to keep up on…

Clearly you never drove the Lincoln version of the Crown Victoria (Mark or Continental, same deal). They had their issues but those seats were awesome. Roadmaster seats were nice but these were better.

I was unable to post images at the time but yes this was totally a thing.

Be fair, if you wanted a car that could only be totalled, not dented it was that or the Corvette and the OG Saturns (provided you changed the oil occasionally) would go 400K easy (I’m unclear on how long a similar Corvette would go since they pretty much all crash before 400K). That deserves Toyota level respect,…

I rented a 2019 Chevrolet this week...it had both touchscreen bits and actual physical control bits. While driving it I used the physical controls 95% of the time. In a phone there are restrictions on adding too many buttons but on a car...not so much

If you squint your eyes it is the spitting image of the 2025 Honda Ridgeline but the price is okay. I’m not drinking the hatoraid but I am looking at my 50 year old truck and going no, you will still be here next year.

Let’s be honest for a minute and less click-baity. Saturn was ultimately about brand engineering. While I do miss Saturn’s original offerings (which were stellar economy cars) they were not adding anything after the first generation, they were rebadged Opels (and whatever else, Honda even) with a side salad of…

Don’t limit yourself. You could also opt for the Australian Camaro sedan (G8 GXP) or the affluenza Camaro sedan (Cadillac CTS-V) or even a 2 door luxury coupe (GTO)

Oh look, it's a Studebaker Wagonaire.

What constitutes “top tier” exactly? All the fuel allowed in my state (excluding specialty fuels like Sunaco) flow in a common pipeline. There may be an extra 8oz of Xylene (sorry, "Techron") at the Chevron pump but it’s all the same stuff really

Feel free to pillory me for everything I said about the SS-manual 2 year model vs the G8-manual 1 year model. Since faster CTS-V-manual cars now exist for similar money consider those. I like the G8 styling a lot more but that is personal preference. I also like the interior more and *something something* *google*…

Ah yes. I’ve always wondered if they even bother to publish phone books. There have got to be 300 pages of Nguyen’s since that’s roughly 50% of the total population.

Um...do they not still sell Goldwings and Fatboys?

Perhaps you’re thinking of SMOG which is kind of not an issue now that their heavy industry has been shuttered for decades.

David let us down because clearly an engine swapped Citroën 2CV is the correct answer to high performance and reliable sedans. It isn't but we both expected it.

Well, except for Samcrack he will take whatever and refurbish it with a $99 HF mig welder and $28 worth of angle iron.

Meanwhile...the leather in my Ford endures after 24 years despite having a Kbb of maybe 800 dollars
