My point was pretty simple. One car is factory-spec. The other is not. Its not an apples to apples comparison.

I dont know who you are as a person so I wouldn’t try to base some sort of characterization on what kind of person you are.

Yeah except those nicer materials start falling off or coming loose in a few years. For example my MIL’s 12 year VW Jetta has the whole roof liner coming off. I haven’t seen that happen on cars since the awful days of the 80’s Malaise era for the Big 3. Those pics look the same anyway. Swap the badges and nobody would…

You are right. Its a pink Unicorn. Silly me...

No point I assume.

My point still stands. This so-called “V8 Supercar” or whatever isn’t a factory-spec car.... is it? The point I was making was that if you want to compare apples to apples, you would need to take two cars, factory spec, and race them. Or in this case, take a Tesla Model S, rip out all of the interior, add non-factory…

Your friend really prove much of anything. So all he did was basically take a factory produced, unmodified factory car and raced it against a race prepped drag racer. What was the point?

I can always smell expensive future repairs anytime I see a 7 series

Yup, it is an old conversation. Old enough to where in the time since we actually traded in our 02’ Prius on an 11’ volt. It’s a totally different animal altogether and the first non- Toyota I’ve owned. First of all- these are cheap used. We got ours for 19k fully loaded. They’re even cheaper now. In terms of costs to…

I'd suggest reading up on the Manhattan project to see the sheer quantity of German scientists who fled from there to the U.S.

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, oh what a party we'd have.

Not sure this unspoken rule exists in journalism, but in my world as a graphic designer it is never wise to trash-talk other designers. You never know who you might be working with or for in the future.

The reliability on these cars isn’t great to start with.

What a marvelous vision: A country absolutely bristling with guns.

Not sure that’s the case. Edgar Schmued left Germany in 1925.

Someone else mentioned this same thing. But VW the company, which though never really made outright passenger cars before or during the war did make various military vehicles for the war effort, which was mentioned in this article. In 1998 VW admitted that during the war they used around 15,ooo in slave labor to…

That is a very cool paint job.

The ramps I used actually punched a small crease in the sheetrock when that happened.

The WORST thing I had to do on my older car ( the 55’ Mercury ) was that one day while changing the oil I noticed that I’ll be durn the cross member under the engine had a nice rust hole. I went under there and poked my finger in there and a lot of the member was rusted out.
