survived this long with no extraordinary maintenance outside “timing belt replacements, oil changes, and the manufacturer’s regularly scheduled check-ups”

I was kind of wondering how a 3.1L Buick made the list and not one (or anything) with a 3.8L

I wish I would have known about this. I literally did not do a god damn thing yesterday.

I would like to own a C6Z one day - so I think 505hp is enough for me. I may change my answer after owning one; we shall see.

not surprised one bit.

my guess is that the interior shown is some type of ‘base model/entry level’ interior. the expensive, optioned out, models will get more than a dinner plate mounted in the center.

nobody forced the motorcycle to drive at a high rate of speed and in to oncoming traffic. beyond the initial confrontation the biker became a victim of his own actions. there were almost an infinite amount of options and outcomes and he chose to engage and escalate. it’s that simple.

the point is - mr. crotch rocket, regardless of right or wrong, made no attempt to defuse the situation and in fact did the exact opposite. there were plenty of chances and none were taken.

The last time I had cable TV my bill was $160 - this included internet, HD DVR, a second box, and a phone I told them I wasn’t going to use. I had no movie channels and did not even get the science channel or natgeo.

Michigan allows up to 164,000lbs GVWR. In 2012 just over 9,000 trucks were registered to carry over 80,000lbs.

wow - what a surprise! [/sarcasm]

I’ve been driving for 15 years now. Shortly after getting my first car I bought a $30 cobra 6-band radar detector that I still use today.

232,000 (and counting) fools and their money are soon parted...

no doubt in my mind we are decades out from the fully autonomous cars we’re all really expecting. sure - we already have some autonomy, e.g. driving down the freeway, but I think we’ll be making baby steps for a long time to come. by the time fully autonomous cars are here it will be a large mix of fully autonomous…

I agree.

on the subject of autonomous cars and our inevitable future I want you to picture this:

this is what test engineers are for.
