You are fully entitled to your opinion, no matter how wrong it is. Read more

Yep. My rental in Ireland was Chinese (and a really good car), and Italy had a ton of Chinese cars on the road.  All looked great. Read more

China is busy thanking Trump for ceding the EV and green energy revolution to them. Well played, well played.  Read more

I know California is known, amongst other things, as a hub of new ideas, innovation and (yay!) “wokeness,” but for once, as a native of The Golden State, I’d like to request we borrow Ohio’s idea. I WANT DOLLY PLATES!! How totally cool. Good job, Ohio! Read more

The vast majority of cars traded in on the program were 15-year-old trucks and SUVs like Ford Explorers and F-150s, Jeep Cherokees and Grand Cherokees, Chevy Blazers and GMT400 half-ton pickups Read more

Amazing! Sounds like 2 inline 6's. Similar in tone to the Honda RC166 race bike. Honda is the undisputed king of “small and mighty” engines throughout time.  Read more

I laugh at how Biden, Trump, U. S. and European auto industry execs think/thought they can somehow slow or contain China’s growth and dominance over automobile markets. At least Japan and Korea have the right ideas and attitude for survival. We’ve entered the consequences stage of unchecked corporate greed/dollar as a Read more

The pandemic had a lot more to do with the current price of used cars than Cash for Clunkers. When the pandemic caused a shortage of the microchips necessary to build cars, the manufacturers emphasized building (and the dealers buying) only those vehicles with the highest profit margins, and the buyers were left with Read more

This is literally the thing that every legacy manufacturer is doing: Read more

Reading those tweets is my daily affirmation that X is one of the largest cesspools on the internet, populated by too many who believe if they yell the loudest, they are correct.  I still wonder what the end game is because there's zero chance of any kind of American unity as long as social media exists in an Read more

With the 100% tariffs on Chinese vehicles, even Ray Charles could see that the US learned nothing from propping up Harley Davidson to save it from Japanese motorcycles that were lighter, faster, less expensive, had better fuel economy, actually innovated, and were better in every way. And then again when Japanese auto Read more

Does it surprise me that conservatives are trying to convince the rubes that the high used car prices that materialized after the Covid 19 pandemic actually originated with Barack Obama? No. Not at all. After all these are the same people who tried to convince us that the 2008 housing crisis that Wall Street brought Read more

You’re wasting pixels. Facts, like laws and the Constitution, don’t matter anymore. Read more

Worth mentioning as well: this is a transversely-mounted V12. Read more

All it’s depriving us of is 30 year old Ford Explorers, which would have rotted out by now anyways. No one was mothballing those. Read more

The lack of 30 year old gas guzzlers is what is driving up the price of used cars now? Read more

This arrival of his was so many things at once. Dressed like a boss but also showing immense respect for his first day at Ferrari. Saw some video’s of him literally shaking the hand of everyone there to see him. As usual a bit of mind play from him to also “own” the moment and amplify it with his appearance and Read more

Is this supposed to be some sort of humble brag? Read more

I haven’t been a dirt bike guy for about 20 years. I love all motorsports, but mostly follow F1 and MotoGP. That said, supercross is the most fun motorsport to watch in person. So much action. You can see everything from any seat. Tickets are (or at least were, last time I went) reasonably priced. It’s just a great Read more
