It’s not the trip current, but the trip time. You can still get a current spike in the water for way too long before the GFCI trips. I have seen this unwittingly tested by a not-so-smart contractor who dropped his die grinder into my hot tub. I felt very lucky to have not been in said hot tub.

How well does it tow a big trailer, compared to the GL550 and Yukon Denali?

Maybe Geely or BYD acquires them. Or I could see Toyota doing some sort of strategic deal.

Yeah, I’d never heard of it either, and I grew up drag racing mullet-heads in TPI Camaros and Trans Ams. It’s amazing.

Realistically, this thing is competing with the RAV4 plug-in hybrid and the Subaru Crosstrek plug-in hybrid. Compared to those two pig faces, the Model Y is a fucking Lamborghini Miura.

^^^^ this.

Gonna guess that the real limitation here is tires. The Mustang is a heavy car for tires rolling at high speed.

Yeah, now’s the time, I think.

If I had infinite free time I’d build one with the S52 motor out of the BMW M3, a supercharger, and a custom interior. There’s nothing wrong with the E30 vert that another 200 or so horsepower wouldn’t fix.

Yeah, MSRP for the 325i drop in ‘88 was $25k (base). By ‘91 that had climbed to $34.5k due to exchange rate changes.

Yeah, same. It’s pretty, and fast, and not usable for anything. The range probably means you can’t even do more than 1 or 2 twenty-minute lapping sessions at a track day.

It’s just going to get trailered to the sand pit and charged off a 3Kw Honda generator.

Yeah, 356B’s weren’t *that* cheap back then. This was still probably $15-25k car in 1990s dollars.

Great green gravy this is good.

Centerfold in that book:

OK, so former and future Ferrari owner here. Here’s how this works: Even though it’s a “standard” model, the mid-engined V-8s have about a 2-year long waiting list. As we speak, calls are going out from dealers to people who have a 488 GTB build slot, saying, in effect, “GOOD NEWS! We’re going to sell you a totally…

Oh, there’s a very Catholic pain-with-your-pleasure that comes with owning an ‘80s Ferrari. The Lord repayeth your wickedness with timing belt changes, and the holy spirit of “while you’re in there” wilt heap pain upon pain, such that you will cry out as if whipped when you see the mechanic’s bill for the 5-year…

Fancy Kristen employs them for when she wants to put the hard top on her R107 560SL.

I’m in the opposite camp here. If you’re going to make me interact with yet another glowing screen in the course of my day, it had better respond right fucking now. Latency in touchscreens is a definite dealbreaker for me.
