Automotive enthusiasts?

That is one sexy looking car.

My father got a Jeep Compass as a rental car - a brand new 2019 Limited model. He hates it and says it’s a piece of shit. The start/stop is jerky and stuttery, the transmission shifts very slow and rough and only seems to get going in fourth gear, and the screen has to be turned on manually. It’s incredible that a brand new vehicle from a major brand can be so bad.

Chrysler cars are generally no good, at least according to YouTube car mechanic Scotty Kilmer. I wouldn’t buy any Chrysler product for daily driving (I’ll stick to Toyota.)

@Lord Goku  
You don’t need a dimwit on youtube to tell you that.

@kleptomage  
Scotty Kilmer is actually a pretty sharp cookie when it comes to car maintenance and repairs. He’s been doing it for over 50 years. Anyone interested in DIY car repairs really ought to subscribe to him.

@kleptomage  
So start taking his advice with some salt? Duly noted.

Scotty was a bit screwy even years ago. His “How to Change Oil” video didn’t recommend putting jack stands down which is a massive mistake; he said “a jack stand’s fine.”* As if people don’t die from that. He does have a lot right, though.
 
*EDIT: I meant that Scotty said “A Car Jack is good enough.”
 
EricTheCarGuy was a bit off, too. I can’t say I watched his videos as much but in his “How to Change Oil” guide, he literally overfilled the crankcase knowingly. “it takes 4.7 quarts, I’m putting the whole 5 in.” That’s not even counting the oil that doesn’t come out of the engine. I know that it’s not always a problem to slightly overfill a crankcase but for being a mechanic making a video for hundreds of thousands of people at least get the ho hum jaywalking attitude out of there.

These tariffs on Mexican goods are going to hurt automakers like they haven’t been hurt since the recession. It’s going to hurt other businesses and the American consumer as well.
 
But forget about that. The real problem is brown people entering the country looking for work. /s

What car is this?

@mjangelvortex  
Koenigsegg Jesko

@ExtreVile  
Thank you. Japanese car?

@mjangelvortex  
Swedish. What made you say Japanese?

@GenericArchangel  
The car’s design kind of reminded me of a Japanese car (like this Lexus).  

@mjangelvortex  
I never trust those “matted” bottoms…

Our Featured Image today has a nice classic car in it. To quote a BP in the comments section:
 

I really wish someone would build a special tire durable enough to withstand immense pressure of the true maximum speed a Bugatti Chiron is capable of reaching.

@Count Adramélekh Sear  
I’ve thought of just solid tires, but considering how the car looses down force in the speed setting its probably not a good idea (even if not).

@mjangelvortex  
I envy Sunburst in that picture.

@mjangelvortex
 
They may have to stay clear of me on that beach…  

@mjangelvortex  
The fact that no one sells a car with fins these days is a tragedy because they look so good.
