@spuy767: Man, gimme some of that crystal ball you've got. Does it know how to call ponies at the track too or does it just make dire predictions because the future and changing the status quo are terrifying? Read more

@chrismcdowell25: Torque steer happens in front wheel drive cars only, unless we're talking crazy stuff like the original Olds Toronado, a longitudinally mounted engine implies rear-drive. Read more

@wheatieboy: Large Truck includes stuff like GM's Heavy Duty and Ford's Super Duty trucks all the way up to semi tractors. Read more

@mkbruin: Yes, that down economy of 2017. Did you read the linked article or do you just take every chance you get to pop off? Read more

@Mike the Dog: I was the guy with the puppy everybody was shitting themselves over. Here he is, just chilling.

@machaus: I don't believe the Ecoboost engines require premium, but I could be wrong and I'm not interested in looking it up.

@HammerheadFistpunch: Well, the original (and much better) marketing name was "Twin Force" but that got dropped like a brick of poo when gas prices went above $4. Read more

@LegendaryC: That and the fact that you've completely bastardized a Ferrari and destroyed it's resale value. Read more

Pro-tip: You CAN NOT do a brake stand in a Prius. I tried. The CVT refuses to play nice. Same story with the HS250h. Read more

@fuhteng: While the R8 is fast and flashy, the V is just more fun and you can take a pile of your friends along for the ride. The R8 has the strapped-down, poised and polished feel every Audi does, which is a little disappointing in a supercar, there's no sense of danger. The V has more power and let's you run Read more
