Now is the time to begin teaching them.

Huracan relief.

I hope my kids can come punch him in the dick for the insane taxes they’ll have to pay 20 years from now. 

On the front plate, would they technically be speed holes? 

Like in Japan?

Do Something about People Driving around with these Tinted Covers

I don’t understand plastic cladding on anything.  It doesn’t look “all-terrain” like they seem to think it does. I think it looks like shit unless your car is painted black.   I think the Audi Allroad finally ditched it and now just looks like an A4 Avant with a lift. 

Yes, they’re both awful minivans but the Rendezvous at least is forgettable rather than embarrassing, forgetting your homework once in 2002 instead of pissing your pants in front of the whole class and people bring it up at the reunion.

The problem with the Aztek defense is that everything good about it could be had in the forgotten Buick Rendezvous, which also looked substantially better - even if it looked a lot like a shoe. The Aztek was an early CUV, and probably could have been decent if they didn’t fuck up the design, but don’t let them off the…

The Wrangler is a license for FCA (excuse me, Stellantis) to print money. There’s a waiting list for used ones. It’s the 4 wheel counterpart to a Harley, a cosplaymobile (for most buyers, let’s be honest). The accessories the parts dept. can sell are more profitable than the whole Fiat lineup.

I agree. They have excellent automatics for people who cannot operate a manual.

The one where a manual transmission had far too few sensors to go wrong

Thank you. But I am not special at all. If you want a manual because you want some fun driving action...buy a manual. You can drive it in traffic. Every day. Especially modern manuals which are nearly impossible to stall and have very light clutches.

No, it is not a good solution. Just buy a manual. I drive mine in traffic. It is not hard.

One of the virtues of a manual transmission is it's mechanical simplicity (especially in a developing country where you're probably repairing your own shit). They've just ruined that by overcomplicating things and adding electronics. Sorry, this is a completely silly product. It's another engineered solution to a…

“all using the same car”

This is genuinely what I hate about Nascar and modern racing in general. Let’s run stock cars with homologation requirements. Maybe one specific car dominates, maybe it doesn’t, but I want to see some mechanical ingenuity on the track. Driver skill is very important, yes, but what if we had…

I can’t believe that there are people that still think that way. Unless, your car is on fire don’t jump out on a hot race track.  It’s literally one of the first things they teach in racing.

I kind of rolled my eyes at that too. I get tired of all this “real Americans” live in flyover states. If you want to keep costs down by keeping the series in a small, centralized area to keep travel at a minimum then just say that. But marketing b.s. of the Heartland of America just makes it sound contrived.
