Funny but I drove the thing in Cleveland and I didn’t get a spec of rust on it. Heavy rain would drip through the t-tops at times though. But I didn’t consider that a problem really.   (edit: well, not rust on the body, anyway--played havoc with the exhaust--went through three mufflers)

Blue ‘88 MR2 with T-Tops. It had problems with the exhaust system, but otherwise was trouble free. I loved that car -- it was just fun to drive without being intrusive, so to speak.

just wondering when these people are going go grow half a spine and go on a wildcat strike.    Let him fire them all.   Just be sure to leave the lights on.

If this guy had created it and called it “art” it would be controversial but not as annoying, but the fact that he seems to be slightly serious is extremely disconcerting. Who would put it on their heads? Answer: the suicidal, the intoxicated, the compelled hostage.

Curiously, just making a video game where if you die…

There’s that theory about how if someone can conceive of a Super AI it’s already too late because it will eventually be created.

My sister, the oldest sibling, learned to drive stick on a Vega.  She ended up in a ditch more than once, but it was a Vega, so it didn’t matter much.   And she learned to drive stick on a pretty forgiving clutch.  

Ha!  I didn’t learn on a diesel Rabbit, but it was my second car.  It had A/C, which was hilarious because I could either drive at highway speed or at a cool temp but not both.

That’s fine. I’ll just get paid the top dollar, thank you. Also, if you advertise that range, don’t be surprised if I don’t sue you to find out who gets paid that amount now.

So I’m gonna be the guy that pisses on this little party. Part of the appeal of the Raptor V6 was that it was a techy truck that was amazing for its relative affordability. Then RAM comes along and says to-hell-with-that and Ford as to follow. If they have to, then fine, whatever, I’ll never buy it. The last one, I…

well, at least she wasn’t so she had that going for her.

At least it’s not the BTS Army.  Then we’d be in real trouble. /s

Fair enough... just heard too many people talk about about it like it was some godsend of a vehicle. It’s not bad, but IMO, my minivan works better for me.

The original Honda Ridgeline. Its replacement was lame. They should’ve kept its distinctive engineering and shape instead of trying to conform. When they updated it, all they had to do was give it options with hybrid at one end and more power at the other. Leave the rest largely alone with a facelift.

There’s about 20…

It should’ve been updated, but when I test drove one with my wife, we were not pleased with how underpowered, buzzy, and devoid of road-feel it had.  I will say though that I decry that all SUVs have started to look the same now.  At least the non-luxury ones.

Honestly, for that money, I might have to take a look.   And if it has Defender looks but drives even a decade or two better, well that would be quite the win.  

As others have noted, I see a ginormous battery in a huge body on frame SUV to be just what the Escalade turns into. Just make a PHEV pls so I can tow with it until we solve the range/charge problem for towing.

Funny that I can get a Lucid Air, which is considerably more car for about half the price.   This is pretty, but not $300K spec worthy.  

only if your junk drawer is either full of unopened old stuff or has a one of a kind gizmo in it

people have paid more money for less useful things

It’s cool, but not $25K cool at least to me.   Jack of all trades...
