General Car Discussion

I gotta say I'm highly impressed by it. I've always kinda liked the C6 but holy hell are they just a box of plastic crap with a big-ass engine strapped to it. The C7's are really nice cruisers, too (when they aren't ripping your face off). They're seriously great cars.

I think I'm in love.

 

The new Z will not be available in Europe.

And so the cracks begin to show...

 

You mean 400Z?

If yes, big sad

 

Not really a big deal, the fuccbois will just entirely switch to the 3-Series.

 

The golden age of Hajwala. Before the Saudi government started cracking down on it(somewhat) and automotive ESC technology advanced to where it is now.

King Al-Nadheem, the driver of the silver Accord, died in a crash in 2016. Surprise.

 

There's nothing golden about it, innocent people where involved in some of these crashes.
Good thing they've cracked down on this and now it's a rarity.

 

It can be done relatively responsibly...

Pros: the road is blocked off.

Cons: the f***n road is blocked off!

 

Not exactly car related, but close enough. Been a fast paced past month here. 2 track days and a trip down to the Tail of the Dragon in Tennessee (mostly just hit other roads in the area, less traffic). Few photos and a quick vid I threw together for one of the runs back from the overlook.

"Will those numbskulls at GM EVER get it right?
Chevrolet. Entry level. (Low price 3 … ‘memba that?).
Buick. Premium (Upper middle price class OR Near luxury, depending on how far you want to go back).
So the newest Buick Enclave looks like a first year Traverse, and the newest Buick Encore GX subcompact has a shorter wheelbase than the same platform Chevy Trailblazer.fter me:
Mary, Mary, Mary.
I know you are young, but you really should brush up on GM history.
Maybe this will help.
Repeat after me:
Buick starts with B. Means BIG.
Chevrolet starts with C. Means CHEAP.
Buicks are supposed to be bigger than Chevys"

A 1995 Polish used car price guide, courtesy of one of the nation's leading used car listing newspapers. "Benzyna" is gasoline, and 1 million PLN in 1995 is about 350 PLN or $90 USD in today's money.

For the record, cars weren't exactly that widespread - less than half of all households had one, mainly because average salary was only about 7 million a month.

 

Oh sweet music

 

The last time Chevrolet and Buick didn't overlap was when color TV was still a new technology.

 

I know

I just find the rage fueled hatred those guys have for GM's current management hilarious.

 

i'm sorry, what?

 

That's vwooooooooowm, it still falls into the second

 

I guess this is appropriate here. No blood or guts, just a compacted SUV. One of the most bizarre crashes I've ever seen.

 

and thus , the WK was doomed for all of eternity to be jammed under a bridge, and have passers by look at it and go "wtf? how did that get there?"

 

Yet it still doesn't look as heinous as any SUV that is compact by design.

 

And that's one of the better ones.
