It just goes to show that Mullen is the best coach in the country, period. All that hype Urban Meyer got was simply riding on Mullen's coat tails. Just think about this. He took a school with crippling NCAA sanctions and in 6 years its the best team in the country. That is completely shocking. He recruited and…
Considering how badly A&M got their asses handed to them, maybe they should have put him in and given him a shot. If you watched the game you would have seen that A&M were completely dominated until late in the 4th quarter when MSU put their 2nd string in to get a little experience and gave up 2 touchdowns. Until…
To hell with your Hatchbacks! Get a Coupe!
Oh cool, maybe I can get one that shows me 15 years younger so I can pick up college girls.
That's the beauty of the manual. All the pain gets absorbed by the flywheel/clutch assembly and the transmission can soldier on. Being fun to drive is just a side effect.
My mother in law has a Beetle Turbo with a manual. Fun to drive, horrible to be seen in. I have fixed all kinda of little crap on that car. The engine/tranny will probably last forever. Turbos, alternators, etc... not so much. However, I think that little drive-train would be just fine to replace my poor old 4…
You assume the only benefit to a manual is the fun to drive factor. What about the repair factor? The maintenance factor? The I like this thing and would keep it forever if I didn't have to worry about replacing the transmission every 5 years factor? That tdi engine will outlive three or four turbos, but I would…
No manual no care.
The drivetrain is obviously good, why not put it in every car they make like MB does? Can we get an ATS with a LT1 under the hood, please?
because your 1500 won't fit in my garage or most parking spots.
The NC convertible top was much easier to do than the NA/NB top. It really was a one handed quick flip. The NA/NB was never that easy. I usually got out of the car to do it. So the NC surprised me the first time I put the top up.
Giant front ends are because of the new pedestrian crash standards that move all the hard points away from the sheet metal.
My uncle is a lifelong Mercedes man and has been driving an SL his whole life. He did a stint with a 360, and then a 458. Both cars were red, overpriced, and the dealership people were horrid. He went back to a Mercedes and couldn't be happier with his SLS, plus the dealership is much better and more accommodating.…
The problem with your argument in this case is that McLaren's offerings in the same segments best the Ferrari in every measurable performance category. The P1 and the 918 are clearly better than the "LaFerrari." The 12C was arguably better than the 458 in every way, and 458 is not even in the same league as the…
That's what makes you the troll this time.
Yeah, they were pretty good in the 60s, now they are pretty mediocre. So rather than feed the apparent troll, I am just going to let you live in your bubble.
Telling myself what? That Ferrari is more marketing than engineering? How about you name one non-subjective statistic where Ferrari is the best at something. Ferrari is notorious for not letting journalists test their cars without Ferrari's strict supervision. Its not the fastest to 60, or the quarter mile, or the…
This is good for Ferrari. Lets be honest, Ferraris are no longer aspirational cars. McLaren and Bugatti hold those spots in the hearts and minds of anyone under 40. Ferrari is just the car for old pretentious assholes who want to tell you how great they are. Reality is that Ferrari's car business is secondary. …
No manual, no care.
I agree with you for the most part. What we have is an epidemic of dealer provided service. What that means is that maintenance is now performed based on what is best for the manufacturer and not the vehicle. I personally believe that you can use any oil you want to if you change it every 3000 miles. In my…
