The original NSX was never insane, so a not-insane successor sticks to the script.

This article made silly jokes about not having the mini wheel for the big trucks because it would insult their trailer-driving skills, but never actually explained the real reason why these trucks don’t have the active assist that the “lesser” F-150 has:

You need electric, not hydraulic, steering to be able to do those

My OM617 did 28,000 KM while I was taking a nap.

Mild and appalling are not antonyms. Also, I don’t get how you read this and think he isn’t calling it sexist.

lol woah, that’s an overreaction. Lawson is great...one of the good ones, I’d say. Awkward turns of phrase happen. That doesn’t mean you need to read sinister intentions into them.

Low range, watered down traction control. Aussie models get lockers, trick suspension and “terrain select” stuffs. Big disappointment IMHO.

I feel like I’ve seen Travis Pastrana do this....

My friend said he feels dumb for not getting that before.

Could you explain this... for a friend?

Nope, the sliding tired have less traction than the ones still rotating (static vs kinetic friction) so the car understeers (goes straight) with the rear tires providing the most drag (static friction). Rears locking gives oversteer and rotation.

So, locking the two front wheels won’t leave perfectly straight skid marks, but locking the rears will.... That has not generally been my experience. Nor anyone else’s, for that matter.

I don't think that's a brand.

So a model is a brand now?

That’s not a standard 488

Let’s take a little time to reflect on Ferrari’s history.

This reminds me of the time I was behind some lady trying to pull into the car wash. It was SO horrible and she had no idea what she was doing (kept backing up with the wheel turned the wrong way), so I ended up getting out of the car and driving her car in for her. Fast forward to 3:24 here:

So... when the driver returns to their car, they are going to find a bunch of money stuffed in the doorframe, and really wonder what their car has been doing in their absence...

Every single one of you who says they wouldn’t take any of these for free is either a liar or a massive sack of douche with a giant ego problem. A free car is a free car, and I can think of an entertaining use for every single car on this list.
