Sit downs (Wave Runners, personal watercraft etc.) are cool, sure...for the same crowd that buys their Corvette with an automatic (a lot of people evidently. Personally, like many things in todays society, the original is still the best for many reasons that a generation may be able to be introduced to soon. Sure…

I used to believe this...”I guess it’s okay, because my car makes me happy, and you can’t put a price on happiness” then I witnessed my car on the back of a flatbed twice and decided that happiness has its emotional and financial limitations just everyone’s threshold is different. Personally, once my car on the back…

Skip bashing the Rich, these are just investments... that are more exciting than buying real estate Dubai. I just want to know how to break into the Auction house business...So do you think at the end of the day the 30+ Million dollars in buyers fee's paid to the auction house is justified because they successfully…

“Torque Omission" perfectly describes my experience with a 2016 TLX that I had for 2 days recently. I noticed on several occasions that there where times where an increase in 500 RPM had no translation into the car moving any faster. I had no idea that the car had an 8 speed transmission, since it was a loaner…

Well said, and totally true. Two facts: 1.) The airlines use average passenger weights to their advantage 2.) Aircraft don’t know the difference of 5-10K lbs (based on aircraft size). I was flight crew on a 757 sized military aircraft and I personally calculated the aircraft performance every flight and the difference…

Consistently, the number one thing I’ve seen laying in the center of the road after leaving Home Depot has been sheet rock that was stacked on top of each other in the open bed of a pick up. I think people actually think that sheet rock, because of its weight, won't slide right out the back especially if there's a…

I literally witnessed a mattress flying about 2 feet above the roof of the car that it was supposed to be secured to going down I-15 in San Diego this weekend. I think the worst offenders are most often contractors who treat the bed of their trucks like their a wind proof bubble that anything put inside of it won’t…

Well said Clarkson...I agree 90+% of cars these days are “tools” that’s it, and are about as emotional as a $1000 Bosch dishwasher, which is also a tool. I’ve got 3 tools in my garage; one tool for hauling heavy stuff behind it; one with 4 doors for hauling the family from place to place and one with 2 doors to haul…

Your post just reinforces what I have always believed that the marketing of the Sound system and the engine are the two most important items that Ford advertising almost always emphasizes. I believe its because its two things that just about anyone with a pulse can understand...how loud is it? how fast will it go? We…

1000% agreed. This group loves the attention only second to Nike who constantly perpetuates the “Woman = Warrior” message in all their advertising...they REALLY love the warrior race crowd. I’m kind of surprised we haven’t seen more warrior specific skin-tight all revealing “gladiator gear” marketed to this group…

For all the times I have seen this image in real life, in Asia or Africa, this is the first time I have ever seen the family members with a helmet on. Nice...

At first I thought it was some kind of regional airline pilot hiring test..."So now that you've done an 8 stop day, are you ready to do it as a job for the next 10 years? great! your hired for $35K"

Chris, Tesla has always been about educating the public on total cost of ownership of their vehicles rather than solely focused on “when do I break even on gas, since I bought a 40 Mpg diesel compact for $30G less”. I believe, and we’re seeing the beginning of it now, that Tesla is going to continue developing ground…

I was hoping his answer would be that he came to his senses about living in Florida and wanted something in trade that could take him as far away and as quickly as possible from there.

Technically speaking they "mobilized" rather than "immobilized" Jeep Cherokee's with their laptop.

"The only humans in the factory, then, exist to maintain, upgrade, and fix the super-speed machines" describes exactly what I saw at the Audi plant in Germany. The amount of robots they use is unbelievable and inspired my confidence in their products. There is nothing wrong with this approach for a multitude of…

Congratulations! you filmed your own preventable death by choosing to be a videographer instead of prioritizing getting out of the situation.

I wish I could meet with Mercury Marine representative’s...the first question out of my mouth would be “Why in the hell does a 350Hp outboard motor (MSRP $28K+) cost as much as new well appointed family sedan???” Secondly, I’m glad to see that Mercury got their act together since they’ve almost completely lost the…

I totally understand the her frustration as well, part of the problem is that the industry has an integrity problem and the other problem is that there is never, ever a convenient time financially for expensive car repairs which are at the top of ungratifying emotionless purchases list (only concrete, alimony…
