I'm driving a Fusion at work now and it's a 1.5T, not exactly a world class rally car or anything, but the torque steer is pretty noticeable. It just got me to wondering.

Be honest, you're wondering something, and it's whether or not as the ranking officer of your unit you should pull the lever on a new fuel-efficient fleet of Fiat 500 Abarth pursuit cars for your unit.

I'll get a Charger again, just a matter of waiting. It will likely be a 6 cylinder this time, though.

Shouldn't the LT get a Hellcat Challenger? You know, because he has to race to the scene and take charge.

LT's and CPT's occupy that nebulous zone of not being a worker bee and getting the cool toys worker bees get but not being high enough on the food chain to get special cars. If I go back to Homicide/Robbery I'll respond to scenes but that's the only office where Criminal Investigations LT's do so.

Even Clarkson seems to be a fan of Toyota trucks when you start talking much older vehicles.

One problem with the entire field of automotive journalism is that a "long term test" is a year. They never deal with the savagery of out-of-warranty problems that shouldn't be problems.

Agreed. One must keep in mind that “journalists” like Clarkson, Hammond , and May are Entertainers as much if not more than reporters.

Despite that - trends can be noted.

The finish on this is usually worth watching.

It's a video game.

Dafuq? You're right. I thought the video looked weird, but guessed it was something with the YouTube feed. I'd only watched a little.

I had no idea there were people with attention spans for a 12-hour fake race, and announcing it as if it was a real one. It literally did not occur to me that that was a possibility. There are few things I care less about in the world of cars.

OK, so the real race, when they have it, is usually worth watching.

Video games are lame.

I have lust for the new Nissan Z.

1979 10th anniversary Trans Am that I saw last week at the Streetside Classic Car showroom in Fort Worth. I think that this is the most beautiful car that I've ever seen in person. You have to be a person who went to high school in the late 70s to understand. I was so tempted. As someone who treats their cars like an Afghan treats his AK , this car is in such perfect shape that if I got it I'd have to invest in some type of nitrogen sealed storage facility.
