Good points, I’ll add that having crashed my fair share of bikes at highish speeds the recovery is never quick. Even assuming zero broken bones it would be unlikely that a person could instantly jump up and run away at top speed. The captor would likely stop the car and recapture the jumper before that person could…

Soon crossovers and pickups will be the only 2 vehicle options left. Embrace the suck.

I’ve wondered about this too, you’d think Japan would at least issue a stern warning that the next missile launched over their territory will be intercepted. My guess is that the system is not 100% accurate and is as likely as not to result in an embarrassing miss.

Oh boy. That guy’s wife is sure going to be angry when she figures out that he took her “SUV” to the track!

Stancers, I’ve never met a group that is more serious about methodically screwing up their cars. They are a touchy bunch too, any criticism is met with a “you’re lucky my bros are holding me back or I’d kick your ass” type of threat.

Is it really that ugly? Yeah it is a little hipster-tech douchey but not terribly so. I think it is much better looking than say a Nissan leaf and way less lame than many egg-shaped crossovers.

That’s surprisingly cheap, $13k is only about $54k in today’s dollars, I think the Escalade is the most expensive (non V) Cadillac today and it starts close to $80k.

Porsche Macan, purchased by insufferable “upwardly mobile” strivers who have zero appreciation of cars and even less taste. I can’t think of a vehicle that is more of a cynical, cash-grabbing affectation.

I think it is Ridgeline drivers who give the Ridgeline a bad name. They are nearly always upper middle-class, middle-aged, socially awkward, slightly aloof, men, usually engineers, who wear hiking shoes, cargo shorts, and those floppy hiking hats everywhere they go. They love to brag about how they’ve done a…

How about the “My soul-crushing commute is slowly killing my desire to live” highway? -A former resident of Northern Virginia.

Yeah, it would matter to me. I would sell my Jeep if FCA were acquired by the Chinese. I work in information security and have a very clear picture of the constant theft and chaos sown by state-sponsored Chinese hackers. The Chinese would like nothing more than to see the US slide further into weakness and…

Saudi Arabia? Yeah they are a medeveil bunch but also a very small player and are not actively trying to undermine, steal from, and weaken the US. They know where their bread is buttered. Plus, we only import a small fraction of our oil from the Saudis these days.

Resistance is definitely not futile, Americans are finally realizing that the collective wealth if the middle class built over 100 years was siphoned off to China one $89 DVD player at a time. Look at the heat Ford took recently for moving production of a single car to Mexico...FCA being bought by the Chinese would…

Wait, so I’m racist for not wanting to send my hard earned money to a country that steals our intellectual property, hacks our computers, steals territory from its weaker neighbors, summarily executes political dissidents, AND has thousands of nukes pointed at our population centers? Just FYI I wouldn’t buy a Russian…

Buying a car from a company that is aligned with, if not outright owned by China, the US’s biggest geopolitical adversary, is a non-starter for many. This is espcially true for vehicles like Ram trucks and Dodge’s various muscle cars who’s buyers skew red polically. It might work for Volvo, but the customer base…

A hipster predator...the worst kind.

No love for yacht rock? Aja by Steely Dan is right up there for me, masterfully recorded, killer dynamics and the music isn’t too bad either.

This generation of Prelude represents peak Honda for me. I love the clean, sophisticated styling - it still looks fresh and current. NP for sure, it is a bargain compared to the other 90's era hero Supra that came up earlier this week.

Curious as to why you don’t like the painted hardtops? I have a JKU with the black hardtop and it is impossible to remove pinstriping from trail brush. I’m sure the painted top would buff out much better.
