As much as I love the car - I’m going to say the 911. Possibly the most famous sports / GT car of all time.
(prepping my blind fold and last smoke):
Are unions good?
I’m going to get laughed at tremendously but I really don’t care..
C4?
Some of you here act like when somebody spends $2M on a handcrafted car the money just turns to vapor. In fact, it goes to the fine craftsmen (and women I’m sure) who built it, who will in turn spend it on things built by other people, or services from other people, who will then do the same.
So is this story on Jalopnik because he likes cars you don’t so that’s the justification? This sure is a stretch and not a welcome one. Yes he is a scumbag but this is not car news or car related.
Boot and bonnet! Such great British slang for the car. Honorable mention goes to “bit of welly” when telling someone to push the car further, or try harder in a race (though I guess this isn’t strictly a car slang term.)

Less “features”. I would like to see physical buttons again. Having to navigate a menu to increase the A/C fan speed, or turn on heated seats, is ridiculous. The “luxury” of a screen is usually that it provides access to deeper options and control, while at the same time making really simple things unnecessarily hard.…

Nader was as bad as 60 Minutes... both took perfectly OK vehicles for their day/time and demonized them by doing things intentionally WRONG (then not saying so). Corvairs were designed to operate with 15 psi in the front tires. Nader pumped them up much higher causing a handling problem that could result in…
Temp control should never be a push button, always a knob. Period. Same for the fan speed. Period. Also, is the hvac vent control one button that you have to use to cycle through all of the choices?
