#QuestionOfTheDay

We all seem to dislike having our data harvested by our cars and sold to insurance companies. Now, the state of Texas has sued.

I am a firm believer that while excessive speeding is dangerous and bad, not all speeding is.

For example, driving 11 mph over the limit on the freeway in a well-maintained car when you're dead sober and paying complete attention isn't that dangerous. Driving 60 mph in a school zone is.

I also firmly believe that speeding enforcement is often more about revenue collection than safety.

We'll give you a preview of this week's podcast -- we're going to talk a lot about what Austin Dillon did at Richmond last night.

Electric vehicles don't make exhaust noise. Some EVs will be performance cars. Performance cars with ICE powertrains often make very cool sounds.

For some, the lack of those sounds will be a problem

I could probably write some version of this QOTD just about everyday, and I probably have written some version of it at some point over the last half-decade.

But it's worth revisiting. When will new-car prices become less insane?

After hanging on for quite some time, the Ram Classic is finally dead. Fully dead. Kaput.

On our podcast last week, Matthew Guy and I discussed OBD readers. Guy also wrote about them this morning. I started wondering how many of y'all use them when working on your own cars?

The reveal of the newest Corvette ZR1 has me wondering -- is 1,000 horsepower too much?

Despite not really being a truck guy or having a need for a truck at present, I get irrationality excited whenever a brand that hasn't never sold a truck before -- or at least, not here in North America -- hints that it might enter the market. Or, in some cases, when long-dormant truck nameplates get revived.

So the Kia Tasman concept has got me interested -- even though it might never be sold here.

When I asked you guys how'd you fix Cadillac, a couple of themes emerged.

I saw Twisters last night. It's fine, as far as nostalgia-based sequels go, though flawed. It also has a lot of Stellantis muscle -- one main character tools around in a Ram TRX and there are Durangos -- I think with Hemis -- aplenty, as well.

It's a brief topic on our podcast today, but I have to wonder why the head honcho at an automaker that solely makes EVs is endorsing the presidential candidate whose administration will most likely be less favorable towards the technology should he win.

Thanks to the 25-year EPA and NHTSA exemption for imports, a company called TVR Garage is bringing back the British sports car.

Monday we reported that Jaguar's lineup is about to undergo some major changes -- changes that will leave the F-Pace as the brand's only model for the "foreseeable future."

One of my favorite moments in The Sopranos involves mobsters trying to shake down a large, faceless corporation. When the mobsters are told by the manager of a local store that if he acquiesces, he'll be fired and replaced by someone else and the corporation will make sure the mob doesn't get any money.

Perplexed, one says to the other "it's over for the little guy."

That scene came to mind when reading/editing Matt's piece on Penske Automotive Group scooping up another prolific Ford dealership.
