I met Tadge Juechter at the C7 reveal in NYC years ago and had a long conversation with him. Neat guy, and that chat was a gearhead’s dream. I also talked with Tom Peters that day about the new car’s design. Still haven’t forgiven him for the taillights, LOL.

I’d like to think somebody with the wherewithal to buy a car at this price point is a bit smarter than the average clown in a Mustang GT. I could be wrong, however.

Going by JD Power’s average price, 10.9k is right in the middle of the range. I’d think if you wanted to get into a fully optioned vert for not a ton of dough, this might be a good choice. Years ago when these were new, you could buy a previous-gen three-year-old lower trim V6 vert for mid-high teens still under…

4500lb. Unless you had a Pinto in the trunk :)

Can’t post photos for some reason so I bailed. 

I’m curious to know what evidence was found to indicate the guy did this intentionally. Did the car snitch on him?

The Blackwood/Type LT has always been my go-to example for truck that doesn’t need to exist.

A lot of people forget that 4wd helps you go but it doesn’t help you stop if you’re traction limited. 

I don’t miss my 2008 Town Car one bit. 

Even if the roads are plowed there’s often packed snow on the surface limiting traction. Winter tires are a better choice here by far. I learned my lesson years ago.

In my experience all-seasons are only marginally better than summer tires. My last Jetta had all-seasons and after spinning out in my driveway twice I got real snow tires. AS tires’ tread pattern isn’t much more aggressive due to noise issues, so I’d amend your statement to say get winter tires if you live in an area…

Yup. Every damn year after the first snow it’s always SUVs I see on the median having pirouetted off the side of the road. Sometimes on their side or upside down. 

I find that hard to believe seeing as he was preoccupied in making an emergency landing with grandma wailing in the back. If he did make a call from the air, that goes against everything pilots are taught in an engine-out emergency. (I’m a flight instructor)

He called his mom? I assume that was *after* he made the emergency landing. 

I’m a flight instructor and have flown with a few really sharp kids. They’re not all knuckleheads at his age.

Crawling over the right seat passenger to open the door and bail out would’ve been impressive. 

The guys I used to ride with years ago used to joke that Honda dealers would check IDs before a Gold Wing deal. They wouldn’t sell one to anybody under 50.

Your first bike was a Gold Wing at 27? You’re ahead of the curve, my dude. 

Come one. Chicks are standard equipment in any respectable hypothetical fantasy.

Hell yeah. The Sky Red Line addresses the Miata’s one glaring deficiency - power. 260hp from its 2.0 is perfect for that car imho. (290hp with the dealer upgrade)
