Get any German wagon and you’ll have all the space, more power, and more comfort (and the reliability/repairs are not as bad as people like to pretend). My B7 Avant is the perfect skiing/biking/hauling lumber/road trip/towing Subarus out of the snow car. Even if everyone here in Colorado does just think its another…

If people willingly buy the car knowing how poorly it will perform in a crash, I don’t see it to be the manufacturer’s responsibility to stop selling them or to spend more to make them safer. If you want to save money by buying a car with no safety features, then that should be the consumer’s choice. The market…

And a helluva lot safer than my buddy and I just pulling down on his JK’s springs as hard as we could to get them off...

No. Putting an LS in an NA Miata will greatly increase power/weight, sure, but the handling would be way different. A completely reworked front suspension will compensate for most of it - and not just stuffer springs for supporting the heavier engine; the geometry would have to change to provide good anti dive with…

Florida? I’ll take crystal meth for $500, Trebek.

If you drive a German luxury suv, please stand up, as otherwise #3 might go over your head.

So a rotary is a perfect upgrade for a current Ford owner! They can push for 40,000 fewer miles!

I think its the perfect time to find a nice TDI A7 right about now...

Sometimes it seems like that is the only requirement

Ha, “mandatory education” for a driver’s license. You just found something that’s even more of a joke to obtain! With the amount of people that kill others with cars can we bring that education into question as well? I definitely wouldn’t want driver’s ed to be the model to educate people on gun usage (but I would…

And the gearing and motors on Monster Tajima’s Pikes Peak car from this past summer. I met one of the Rimac engineers at the race, he was a EE who handled the control systems, and, if talking to him was indicative of the rest of the team, they are some extremely smart and motivated people. Definitely a company I’d…

At first misread this as “Audi is planing a VR6 R8 for 2018" and got really excited. Saw it was just another bi-turbo V6 downsizing move so an already low volume car could pollute a teensy little bit less and got sad. Remembered 2.7TT from the B5/C5 generation got excited again. I am now very conflicted on how I feel…

Calling an engine a motor. Maybe not bullshit, but its fundamentally incorrect and widespread. Full disclosure; I still say it sometimes.

Sabine Schmitz, my favorite non-aviation related person ever, on Top Gear!!? At first I wasn’t sure if I’d watch the new show but with both Chris Harris and Sabine (😍) I’m 100% on board.

“Me name’s Brian, not Brain.”

“Low energy density”... Really? Do you just make wild claims without any base knowledge?

But when can I get a display that tells me the VOLUME of gas I have left instead of trying to (usually inaccurately) calculate the miles remaining? Or even just both?

Through high school, I always played sports and worked out with my younger sister, and (I like to think through that competitive influence) her vertical and speed are better than almost all of the girls she’s ever played against, and better than a bunch of the guys that we conditioned with occasionally. I totally…

“Did someone say recycled beer cans??!”

GT1,2,3,and 4!? I’m going to go change my pants.
