When I owned a muscle car, I only wanted loud exhaust when I really stepped on it.

But lately it seems like so many cars (I'm looking at you Dodge) sound like they're trying to make the back straight at Daytona when they're just going 12 miles an hour. Why?

And there is a huge upturn in open exhaust cars screaming down the road, that's just not acceptable on public roads. Go to a race track.

@bigheadtales @davidzipper I feel like they do it on purpose.

Just drive around in 1st at 5000 RPM just to be as loud as humanly possible.

When you hear the phrase "married assassin" what vehicle do you imagine them driving? The assassin is a queer woman. Not ninja assassin either. Hired killer assassin.

@superdavjer Charcoal sedan of some kind - maybe bmw if they’re fancy, Honda Civic if they’re not

@superdavjer Gotta blend in if you’re an assassin. No red Camaro or whatever

I've come across a few new cars (Fiat) in Missouri for around $20k, not something you see very often anymore. I'm debating whether to make the drive to look or not. Rates are still high but my credit union threw me a bone on financing, a couple points under national average. This car would be driven by me for 4 yrs then given to our daughter at 16, I think in long terms.

Has anyone seen any new cars for that price with an interest rate under 4%? I'd like to hear about it if so.

The 1998 Fiat Multipla is almost always included on clickbaity listicles about the ugliest ever cars. The Autopian's Adrian Clarke makes the case for why its design, while aesthetically challenging, was actually brilliant. "A constant criticism of car design I hear a lot is the ‘form should follow function’ bulls***," he writes. "Be careful what you wish for, because the Multipla is what you could end up with."

Every Sunday, between 7am and 2pm, many of the biggest roads are shut to and left open to , skates and feet.

“Ciclovía is really cool because there is a lot more space for us,” says seven-year-old Oliver Rojas, who is out with his parents and is baffled to hear that this innovative scheme does not exist in the rest of the world.”

Check out those swiveling bucket seats! We owned a 75 and it had a bench seat.

@LibrarianRA I owned a ‘75 too! That thing had its own zip code, it was so big.

@rednikki Yes, the size, and the black vinyl seats are what I remember. Going to the beach and having it sit under the sun all day. Ouch!

@carspotting I really don't like the look of LEDs and non-fluted lenses on the older 911s. Just can't get into it.

#Bilbao registers one million fewer #cars in the first quarter of 2024 with respect to the same period in 2019.

This was achieved mainly thanks to the #Sustainable #Urban #Mobility Plan.

Initially implemented in 2015, the SUMP seeks to promote mobility that is less dependent on the car and more inclined towards sustainable alternatives. such as public transport, #bicycles and #pedestrian mobility.

EVs are not the solution to the #Philippines's traffic woes.

Keep taxing them and build better public transit facilities!
