Even if it’s so heavy and expensive, wouldn’t it still be worth it for someone like Bentley or RR to license it? If it worked so well, their customers would pay for the ultimate luxury ride

While I agree with you on aircraft (because duh planes tend to fly beyond regional boundaries) I think applying the same concept to cars would be economically devastating and destructive to innovation in developing regions.

Still waiting for a Grand Caravan Town and Country Pacifica Hellcat.

The motto of the 2017 Ridgeline team: “We can’t possibly sell fewer than the last one”.

First, actually make it.

And that’s not a bad thing judging by how decent this car looks.

Looks like a Chrysler 300 fucked a last gen Saab 9-5

Before I lifted it, my M1009 got 31 mpg on the freeway (there are no emissions controls and it is a naturally aspirated diesel), and it has a 25 gallon tank.

Just to clarify, which notion are you rejecting? The amount a sane person would drive or the notion that you fall into the insanity category?

Had to put a 2,000 miles on a sports car recently for break-in.

No sane person is actually driving 650 miles on a road trip without stopping, at the very least, to pee, unless they’ve got a patented Torchinsky urination system. But, like I said, no sane person.

How could you possibly meet that price point? A do it yourself affair would cost more than that, restoration isn’t cheap. A modern all new alternative for $18,000 I could get behind.

I don’t think Tesla is worried. So far based on the specs of upcoming cars in 3-5 years, they are inferior to what Tesla has today.

Chrysler let you know codes if it had one for CEL with a key-turn pattern as far back as the mid 90s.

Push to mute.

My sister had a WJ Jeep Grand Cherokee for years, and it had a little readout above the windshield that gave temperature and a rudimentary compass (it told you N,S,W,and E and that’s it). For quite a while she labored under the idea that when it said something like “74° W” that it meant she was heading 74 degrees…

Low redline!
