He was wrong about the Corvair and he's wrong about this. Where in hell did he get "malfunctions every eight minutes"? Unlike when GM let him take the Corvair down I do not believe Elon will be affected by this. Just like the guy who came out with his ad the other day saying FSD was terrible and then posted videos where FSD wasn't even active. ... View more

Surprised nobody picked "Bullitt". And if this was a list of best it would have to be on it but yeah I get it, staff favorites. ... View more

I love my 2005 Jaguar XKR. It's not a sports car but it's sporty. More a touring car but too small to be one. But I do love it. ... View more

I owned several Gen 1 Corvairs. I liked them quite a lot and turned 2 of them into dune buggies. They excelled at that. I drove a 65 Monza with a 140 HP engine in the early 70s and it was pretty spunky. I would have loved to buy it but it was for my then GF and her mother said no. I've been looking at them for the last 5 or so years and can't find "the one". Maybe soon, we'll see. ... View more

Although not a roadster the Jaguar XK series is a beautiful car and you can still get them at a fairly low price. They are based on the Type E so they have the curves and IMHO look about as sexy as a Type E. I'm just posting this because they scratch the UK made itch and are a very nice car. ... View more

My 2005 Jaguar XKR (in triple black) has to stay outside because my newer and more expensive Model 3 is in the garage and there's not room for both. I typically drive the Jag at least once a week and sometimes more.  Too much work to put the cover on and take it off again so much. And in the end, it is just a car. ... View more

Please don't kill me until you read everything. Then kill away. I own a Tesla Model 3 which will beat about 99.5% of the cars on the road to 60 mph and 98% of them to 100. It does the quarter in 11.8 seconds. That's quick. Very quick. I drive it almost everywhere I go and that includes Phoenix to LA. It's slightly longer to do supercharging but most people stop for lunch and potty breaks so it's only a minor inconvenience. In spite of what many anti-EV people say, they are Zero Emissions but only after about 6-7 years. They are actually dirtier as those people like to say but they even that out. Once they reach that point they truly are ZE provided you charge it from Solar or Wind or Dam power but of course those have their own break even point. That all said, I also own a Jaguar XKR that has 400HP and a supercharger that whines very nicely. I wouldn't want to drive my EV all the time and I don't. I drive the Jag (with the top down) quite a bit. It has the muscle car sound and fills that void I get from the Tesla. As many have pointed out, EVs are the future. Not for the Green so much as for oil is finite. The sun and wind aren't. It probably won't run out in most of our lifetimes but getting energy from the sun is free once you pay for it and clean once you zero that out. It is the future. Kicking and screaming many will go, but they will eventually go. ... View more

68 Dodge Charger.  Only year they had the iconic dual round lights if I recall. ... View more

I used to have a couple of the Gen 1 Corvairs. They were not as dangerous as Nader made them out to be and the Gen 2s were fine. Even the 64 had the transverse support that kept the axles from folding under. I have wanted a 140 HP Gen 2 for a long time. I drove one back in the early 70s and it ran really well. ... View more

I read the earth is flat and the moon is made out of green cheese too.   I think the issue comes about with your definition of "self driving".  If you mean you walk out of your house and get into the "passenger compartment", kick back and read or sleep until you arrive at your destination then you're probably right about someone my age (66).  But I have high hopes my children and super high hopes my grandchildren will do just that.   That said, we already have what are quite close to autonomous vehicles driving beside the idiots.  In Phoenix they have Waymo, in other cities there are other vehicles that have "drivers" but only to "take over if something goes wrong".  And certainly it can and does now but when it does it's a big story.   My 2018 Model 3 with FSD does a very competent job on the freeway, even taking the right exits to other freeways and the final exit from the freeway.  To suggest we will NEVER get better than this is to hide one's head in the sand.   It's going to happen.  Maybe not in my lifetime (although I bet a couple grand it will) but at least in my children's.  Civilization wants it too bad. ...
