Did you expect me to respond to your meme, inappropriately used by the way, with a serious response?

The new leaf is coming out very soon, I’ve been talking with my friends at Nissan. Keep your eyes peeled. Unless the Chevy Bolt knocks it out of the park the new BEV to beat will be the next gen leaf.

Maybe your degree in fine woven basket arts was not the best option. Going to community college first saved me almost 40k.

If you have technical skills the job market is booming. Hell even blue collar skills like machinists and welders can’t be filled. If you have a community college degree it cost you $15k max, you’ll be making 40+ a year in these positions.

If you have an engineering degree you’re 80-120k in debt but you’re making 50+…

What house are you buying where you’re spending more on a mortgage than on rent? The first house I bought my mortgage including taxes was $220 a month less than a similar house I was renting previously.

You’re paying for that car over that time period, if you can’t afford to do that buy a less expensive car that fits…

It makes no difference if the car is broken or not, people always get held up on this illogical point.

Say your used car is going to last 5 more year, you finance it for 72 months (6 years) because having cash on hand is more beneficial to you. In 5 years you’ve got your student debt paid off, your home purchased…

Is it pronounced Mug’in? Mew(μ) jen? Moog-en like in english?

Why would that decision be made now and not when the car was being launched?

Jalopnik is more about the circlejerk jokes than anything actually insightful. I’m starting to feel more and more like it’s written by teenagers.

So this came after the C111?

Does Mercedes, Honda, Ford or any other manufacture produce and engine like that with replaceable sleeves? I can’t think of a single one. Blocks are cheap.

Modern blocks are not designed to be rebuilt like that. The economies of scale are such that you’re better off buying a new block. Now 30 years from now it may be a different story.

The inherent inefficiency still remain. You have to go through thick glass and can’t angle the panel. The technology behind solar pathways and solar roof installs is the same. You’ll never be more less expensive per kW.

Dude, relax. Have a snack.

The size of the country does not matter. Terrain and distance between city centers is all that matters.

Tokyo to Kyoto is something like 318 miles. It’s not like these are small hops. How many major US cities are within ~ 318 miles of each other? All of the easy coast, Portland, Seattle. La to San Fran is 380. These…

Good motor, good automatic transmission, you could get 32 mpg if you tried. Poor interior quality and switch layout but hardly the worst thing.

That V8 though.

30+ lbs of mass dampers on the transmission to keep it from vibrating itself apart.

Have you ever worked on them? They weight a million pounds, max out around 3,800 rpm and make 100 hp if you’re lucky. It’s a truck engine.

You think you want a straight 8, you honestly don’t want a straight 8.
