Provide correct information
I just read Zac Palmer's blog on the Mercedes steering trick.
He keeps referring to toe out.
I believe he is talking camber.
Toe in/out is the front of the tire vs the rear of the tire. Wider at the front is toe out, narrower at the front is toe in.
Camber is leaning in/out at the top, And yes, most race cars run negative camber (in at the top) to help the car corner more stable. When you lean on the front tire in a turn, especially on a banked track like in NASCAR, you gain camber, and you…23rd ranked -

Stop promoting dangerous activity
Do you ever ask/care how some of the "spy photos" are acquired?
The recent interior pictures of the Bronco were obtained dangerously by a vehicle cutting off the Bronco as it was on an exit ramp stopping just short of the traffic light. Blocked them in, and numerous people jump out, surrounded the vehicle and started to snap as many photos as they can. How dangerous to both the general public and the two persons in the Broncos?23rd ranked -
Let "TRUTH" be told
I just read your blog on how to ripoff a rider.
I am a uber driver and you obviously don't know about our jobs. You cannot ripoff a rider my taking him on a longer route. When you pick up the rider the route is already set. Doesn't matter where you go as a driver, the rider has already been charged from "A" to "B". The rider is already charged for the milage as soon as puts in where he's going. You need to research your facts before putting it out there.
I am offended at your story. You can…55th ranked -
Resurrect the Cien Concept
With a production mid engine corvette out, it would be awesome to read an article where Autoblog investigates the likelihood of bringing back the Cadillac Cien concept.

Why do some users get shadow banned yet people like 'The Car Expert' gets to post garbage on every article?
My posts are instantly deleted yet The Car Expert posts nothing but garbage time and time again.

Wouldn’t this be an amazing time for Ford to unveil the Bronco?
Ford has postponed the unveiling of its Bronco due to corona virus. I think it should do the opposite and (understanding workforce limitations) release every morsel of information they have. And let us devour it as much needed relief from the daily “news” cycle. Auto blog should lead this charge.

Just a Thank You
I was looking at KIA's new vehicle but w everything I read was convoluted with a bunch of overstated opinions. Reading your article, 2021 Kia Seltos First Drive | The Soul-ful CUV, was refreshing. Your writer got straight to the point. Most importantly, you gave me exactly what I needed....the differences between each model and their pricepoint. I am very appreciative that you don't write a bunch of fluff and give an honest review. Thanks a million!

great story
Thanks for the story on the Pinto wagon. In 84-85 I dated someone who had a 4-speed, standard, one of those. The cargo area was very useful for.... And, loved your comment about your family having a full-size passenger van. Our family used a '72 Chevy Suburban bought new, off the lot. Keep up the good work!!! Thank you for taking be back to a long-gone era.

Re-post car care advice
For example, in winter, do a series about how best to wash a car during the winter, including top-rated necessary equipment from foaming washers, to applicators, to drying cloths: basically, lessons in winter car care. I vaguely recall that you ran such a series - maybe it was a link to another site - a couple of winters ago but I allow as how my memory might be faulty.

Improve articles’ accuracy
Almost every Autoblog article seems to have inaccuracies these days. For example, I’ve seen numerous articles about transverse-layout FWD-based cars using ZF’s 8HP transmission.
The 8HP is only compatible with longitudinal engines. Aisin-Warner (Toyota subsidiary) makes the 8-speed transmissions used in almost every FWD-based car with an 8 speed transmission that isn’t a Ford or GM product. That includes every single BMW product that’s based on the UKL or FAAR platform (all MINIs, 2-series Active Tourer, new 1-series (not available in US), X1/X2, and 2-series Gran Coupe). VW also uses the same transmission in the US-spec Arteon, Atlas, Tiguan, Jetta.…

Like-Model Comparison When Ranking Vehicles, i.e. Full-Size with Full-Size
I recently read an article by Jeremy Korzeniewski regarding pickup trucks likely to pass the 200,000 mile mark. As is the case these days, media covers only what is current, in this sense, meaning newer vehicles within a five-year span. Additionally, he included full-size trucks with mid-size trucks. This is like comparing apples with oranges. The two types of models have varying load capabilities regardless of manufacturer. The research should reflect a span of vehicles beyond the "five-year" span. Maintenance of any vehicle is the true basis of how long it will last. Personally, I ordered an F-150 Heritage in…
