The UX is a bummer, and I’m bummed that I care. Read more

Thanks Juan! Is this an accurate depiction of the test?

A lot of policing is done by “gut feel.” Cops rely on their instincts, just like people in every other profession. (Does it always go well? Ho boy, not trying to open that can of worms in a comment thread about cars!) Read more

I made a mistake editing this...The fuel injectors doubled in quantity, not size! The ZR1 has both direct injection and secondary port injectors, the latter of which add extra fuel under heavy load, which is unique to this car. (Fixed.) Read more

Yeah, for sure. I mean... for a few thousand dollars you could buy an old motorcycle and smoke supercars. But obviously there is a lot more to the equation than “dollars spent:0-60 time” Read more

Los Angeles is a tough place to live for a lot of reasons, but there is certainly no dearth of excellent cheap cars here. Without even getting beyond the first half of the first results page on Craigslist I found a:
