I lived in Grand Junction growing up, not far from there, and we would pop in the car with the mountain bikes on and drive to Moab down this road a ton in the summer.

Chain it with Scenic Highway 128 into Moab and it’s an awesome trip.
For your consideration, the Mas d’Azil cave, in the french pyrenees, the only place in the world where a natural tunnel is occupied both by a road, a river AND a museum of paleonthology. On the left side of the cave, you can visit a sealed museum gallery, and take the guided tour to explore a portion of the huge…
Road to Hana on Maui isn’t particularly well known, but it’s an incredible drive. It’s a strange combination of good quality asphalt, but many one-lane sections, seriously old and decrepit looking bridges and treacherous cliff edges. There aren’t many opportunities to drive quickly, but anything more than 30 MPH (25…
I know why: because different types of combustion engines were appreciably different, and those differences were able to be marketed and sold to various customer bases. Electric motors are essentially all the same; there’s no real difference in sound, response, behavior, etc. They just spin a shaft. That means the…
I have two kids. I love my kids.
Pretty simple really. Its not shitty tires, its cold tires. They’re taking cold tires, putting too much power to them, always while turning out of somewhere. Skill is definitely poor, but that needs to be qualified. A skilled driver would know that you can’t launch a high powered car through a corner on cold…
The guys behind the wall had the right idea, when you see a Mustang leaving get behind solid objects for protection. Only you can prevent people from being hood ornaments.
The best “he got his” story on this subject I’ve heard reportedly happened in my state a few years ago when some dickbag rolled coal leaving a stoplight. The older gentleman in the convertible who got blasted in the face with sooty diesel exhaust took down the truck’s plate number and called the state police. Turns…
Well, people modify their $50,000 diesel truck to burn more $5/gal diesel fuel to belch smoke to strike a blow for the little guy against the small-car driving, bicycling and pedestrian elites. Or something like that.
Auto. Wife won’t drive a stick, although she knows how and sometimes she uses my car. Sport mode does help, but I only engage it once in awhile.
The control knob is a feature I actually like. It’s naturally where my hand rests in particular and I’ve developed muscle memory in controlling it. I tap the home button, turn two clicks to the right, click once, turn once and push down and that turns off my display while showing the clock. Sounds long written out,…
The 2016 Mazda 6 will accelerate from 0-60 in about 7.3 seconds which is average for the segment...however it is EPA rated at 38mpg on the highway...which is a leader in the segment.
I have many thoughts about this, and one of them is that once a week of John Oliver is just not quite enough.
For actual socialist countries with functioning economies, see Sweden, Denmark, Germany, etc.
Yeah try dictatorship.
Why are you blaming the manufacturers? Blame the consumers. Demand of CUV’s, SUVs and trucks is so high that if they don’t want to give share to other makers they HAVE TO MAKE THE CARS THE PEOPLE WANT!
The greatest trick they ever pulled, is convincing the wagon hating US to drive “crossovers”, I mean wagons on stilts. PS, some of us want them without the stilts!
Look I consider myself pretty decent with money and I’ll play the lotto here and there. Do I play every day? No. Not even every week. But the 2-3 times a year when it’s like 300 million plus...sure I’ll get a ticket. I call it a dollar to daydream. I know I’m not going to win, but on the ride home from the convenience…
