Peaky Blinders is a Tiger Aspect Production for BBC2 that Netflix just kicked in some cash to produce so they could distribute it elsewhere.

Its it a shame that a large displacement V8 gets better real world gas mileage than turbo V6s in just about every measurable test, but we play to a test that lets the software cheat? The instant you get the turbo into positive boost all the gas mileage savings goes away.

Yeah, but having flirted with a bike over a decade ago when a coworker sold it to me at a great price because they were in a bind, I really liked the bike in every way as long as there were no cars around. Distracted drivers are terrifying, and a slight bump from a minivan while waiting at a stop light ended my biking…

Considering China has ~1.4+ billion people and they make more cars in China than the rest of the world put together I don’t think the displacement matters all that much. I’m sure they are selling luxury, not economy.

What I’m saying is, as a Federal Government is that good?

The UK felt so guilty about all that slavery nonsense that they actively fought the slave trade. Thank the Methodists in the Anglican Church.

As is, of the three different elected groups at the Federal level, smaller states get outsized influence at two of them.

This is the United States. A union of 50 EQUAL states. Our founding fathers created a system that didn’t alienate the small states when it came to making laws or electing presidents.

Notice how any small state will never support throwing away their entire influence in elections? This is a non-starter simply because the electoral college gives states with small populations a say in elections that would be completely ignored with a popular vote. States are Sovereign. They do have a winner take all…

Lets eliminate the idea of more than 2 representatives from each state while we are at it. Oh, and lets make sure that every state gets exactly the same amount of federal dollars.  We all know the same amount of people live in each state and that states are divided 100% equally.

Because they sell soooo many of those over seas.

If they put an aluminum block LT1 in any car no one is going to be complain.

Nope, they went to some stupid overly complicated twin turbo 4.2 liter DOHC blackwing engine (550hp/627tq) that is just plain stupid and pointless when the LS/LT has such a solid reputation. The small block V8 is probably the most positively perceived thing GM has ever produced, and they should put it in EVERYTHING…

No small block V8?  No one act surprised when it fails miserably.

You can keep the ATS slightly warmed over. No V8 means it doesn’t deserve the V badge. Regardless, just imagine had they put out a proper ATSV Halo car that would be a giant hit on every magazine and car forum. The Small Block V8 ATSV vs the M3 etc. Instead its just a shitty overly complicated V6 that no one wants to…

Well, they don’t make the SS anymore, and when they did they failed to differentiate it from the other shitty cars with styling and also completely failed to market the car so that just reinforces my point because no one knew about it but a very small number of gear-heads. There is one on my street, kinda bland…

But the UAW is a bloated dinosaur that doesn’t do shit for its members and probably doesn’t even know who they are. They should disband the UAW and create smaller unions for each plant. Then the union heads would know the workers, and the workers would know where the money is going. Instead its stolen, siphoned off,…

Well, the ATS was a great car until they didn’t put the Small Block V8 in it. Then no one wanted it, and it failed. I say take the GM bean counters and executives outside and put a bullet in their heads and we just might see some decent products. Otherwise, just shut the company down. We have plenty of pickup trucks,…

Why would anyone want to live where it snows all the time and you pay insane taxes to pay for all the snow plows and other stupid shit that no one wants to deal with. In Ohio you get fined for NOT shoveling the city owned sidewalk in front of your house. Who wants to deal with that shit? Everything is moving South to…

The roads are not the concern of the Federal Government, the State’s get block grants to maintain the Interstate system within their borders. Just because they don’t spend it on fixing the roads doesn’t mean they don’t have enough money. Call your STATE representative.
