A lot of bands do cruises, and that makes sense — Have an awesome vacation and see your favourite band perform too.

This guy’s schtick is building and driving cars. Hard to do that aboard a ship. Are they going to have actual cars involved at the port stops or something?

Not a 1.2 Corsa in Staines?

I’d love to see them come back as an option in the new Lincoln Continental. It just seems so... Right.

A good, cheap way to have the most unique car at the cruise night, for sure. I nearly snapped my neck when I saw a sedan driving the opposite way a few weeks ago.

Had a tech at a brake place try to tell me my Cadillac Catera was FWD and basically a Regal in a new skin. I suggested he jack it up on 4 stands and press the gas pedal.

I live in the US. I drive a Chevy Volt. Quoted 0-60 is 7.8 seconds. Even when I’m driving in normal mode without my foot to the floor I regularly depart a light faster than the traffic around me.

This perception of “slow” in this country is totally stupid, because very few people are using the stated performance of…

Given the tax credits are expected to expire sometime into the reservation period, certain individuals are weighing $1k now vs. $7,500 in a couple of years. It’s not always a stupid decision.

It works great but is so expensive. Just use the generic equivalent: “Laser.”

I bet you the Venn diagram of people who use “bumber” and people who use “labtop” is a single, overlapping circle.

Do you think the value on these things will absolutely crater when, in a few years, you can legally import an equivalent-year model with the better TDi powertrain?

“Business don’t give away “free” products.”

The nearest SuperCharger to me is literally in the parking lot of a private restaurant. The restaurant doesn’t charge to use it. Businesses give away “free” products literally ALL THE TIME.

Honestly, you had some good points at first but your argument has gone completely off…

We own two Volts (and a Corvette), and you’ve hit on exactly the reason why I wouldn’t consider the Bolt, and would pick the Model 3 over it.

I can’t believe Barra’s hubris on the whole “infrastructure build-out,” either. Insane.

None of them are Plug-In, though. I think the closest thing here is the C-Max Energi.

This is an interesting move by Mitsubishi, and like the article title suggests it’s pretty much their only unique/relevant standout vehicle right now because of that.

HOOOOOOHHHH.... YEAH-HEAH! ALRIGHT-AH!

Power Metal:

You forgot “JDM 240SX Silvia Skyline R34"

There’s a real place for these “fairly unique, mildly-interesting, but awful in every other way” cars.

That place is about $2,500. At that price I’d pick this up and proudly rock up to the cruise night between the heavily-worn ‘98 C5 Corvette and the non-numbers matching homebuilt 74 Nova with a junkyard 350 with…

*Yawn*

*Stretch*

Well, I’m going back to bed.

Right, but not “FI,” “Turbo.” The motor’s displacement is small enough they can legally run a turbo on it in their state.

I think you mean a “shitmobile.” And I totally want Lahey’s car.
