“Not taking a side” is not the same as “agreeing with the ‘wrong’ side.” Cancel culture is trying to turn it into that.

Every time I see something painted in Vantablack, it always looks like someone just turned the brightness all the way down in Photoshop. I'd really like to see a Vantablack object in real life.

Spoiler alert: it’s gonna take a lot more work to get a massive twin-turbo, DOHC V8 into a Miata than an LSx.

A V8 can fit in a Prowler. This one has a 6.1L Gen 3 Hemi:

Politics has infected nearly everything. Can’t we have some entertainment free of all that BS?

I’d be willing to bet most current EV owners already do their charging at home overnight.

Can confirm. I was a Mazda tech about 15 years ago, we had a couple RX-8s in the shop every week. Owners flooding the engines was common, we’d get at least one of those a week. Others had overheating or sensor issues.

The correct answer is Corvette.

BMW can call them “kidney” grilles all they want.

My first car was a 5th-gen Celica GT, so I’m partial to the GT-Four CS. I still occasionally look for GT-Fours while browsing for project cars.

I’ve always thought these looked cool, but the milquetoast drivetrain held them back. I mean, if I’m buying an Italian sports car, it better have more than a ~120HP 2.0L 4-cyl.

Counterpoint:

Yellow is the worst color on cars. Clashes with pretty much every other color. And that goes for every shade of yellow used on an automobile - gold trim or badges, amber or yellow turn signals, parking lights, or reflectors, etc.

While the homophobic speech is reprehensible, the worst thing in the radio communication is the team member calling for the opponent to be wrecked. It’s dangerous for both drivers involved, and potentially others who might get caught up in a crash. That should be punished more harshly than the derogatory comments.

One of my dream projects is to get a C4 Corvette or Pontiac Fiero, do an EV conversion (Tesla or otherwise), and give it a Khyzyl Saleem-ish cyberpunk look.

I just think this opinion piece is better suited for the author’s personal blog (if she has one) instead of a car news site, and that the author’s attempt to, as I put it, “shame the shameless” is highly unlikely to bring about the change she seeks. In fact, it may harden their positions/behavior. So the piece comes

I will preface my comment with this: I do not read Barstool, nor do I watch NASCAR. I am familiar with each organization’s particular schtick, though.

What, exactly, is this guy's justification for the astronomical price tag? There's nothing special about the car - it's not some limited-production special, or has rare options or something. It's just a 81K-mile M3. The wording of the ad seems to try to appeal to BMW collectors, but given the relatively high mileage

I had to pay a speeding ticket after being pulled over by a county cop, and I had to go to the county courthouse in a city nowhere close to where I live. On the morning I went to the courthouse, a blizzard rolled in. Bumper-to-bumper traffic most of the way to the city. I made it there safely, paid the ticket, and
