And spend another 100k on one off machine shop custom parts?

You’ll have 5k into the car after it’s all said and done ready to race

It’s powered by 5,000 of those, actually.

These things are going to depreciate like week old salmon.

You don’t realise what it was like in 2009 when Elio was founded. Even in 2012 (when gas was $3.60) PHEVs were expensive and just hitting the market. Affordable BEVs were still far out technology.

Elio was not supposed to push technology in anyway, it was supposed to be a parts bin car assembled into a novel platform…

Also the capital on hand and connections Musk has hardly make it a fair comparison.

I think Elio made mistakes but Paul is much more like you and me than Musk from a business owner perspective.

Why do you condone violence against your fellow man?

You then misunderstand patriotism.

Patriotism is love of Country. Not of government.
Who is Country? That’s me, that’s you, your neighbors and your fellow Americans 1,000 miles away. We have the same goal, the same founding ideals, the same belief that those are the tools to best improve the human condition.

This study is from 2007 but I think the conclusion are still interesting.

TROPHY TRUCK HOOOO!

This video never gets old.

The differential is if the center differential is locked thus torque split front to rear is locked.

He’s not one of you. He is black yes but he’s a Sudanese immigrant born and bred.

Culturally you’re like me, we’re Americans . We’re far more similar than you and this monster simply because you share his skin color.

Why did you not buy the 1 liter?

Because they still can’t get over Hillary losing. 1/2 the country is still reeling.

Because Ford did an absolutely abominable job at marketing the cars. The Fiesta 1 liter is the best (non performance) subcompact ever sold in the US and it was hidden as a sub option as a package on their website.

No. You can be empathetic if you’ve had a child or not.

It’s it’s used to “other” people and invalidate their criticisms because “you just don’t understand”

Having a daughter means absolutely zero.

Personal experience does not make you a subject matter expert.

Prices bottom out around 20 years out for cars as a whole. Some basic stats can give you more granular data. As a general rule you need to buy a car you’re going to keep forever in the first 10 years.

Also restoring a RR is not worth economically worth it, buy one in good shape now (or 10 years ago) and maintain it.…

Trim these oil cooler hoses? Nah, it’z good.

Because it’s a stupid trope auto bloggers use.

the closest thing to NFG is Lemons cars. Anything else not build on a time crunch and/or harsh budget hardly qualifies as such.
