Serious question... does it have enough battery capacity to challenge the Nordschleife record? 22km at flat out speed?

Maserati EV...

Meh, I like the69dodgechargerfan. I have Fender Telecaster friend, a Flueger fishing reels friend, a Mustang friend. Sure, they all require some kind of intervention but they’re super well-versed on their obsessions and they really want you to love their thing as much as they do.

Challengers handle well too.”

Jesus. That’s terrifying.

The Flex has the worst ergonomics of any car I’ve ever driven. You know how when Leonardo DiCaprio puts on a suit, it always looks like he’s wearing his dad’s suit. That’s how I felt driving the Flex. I couldn’t get the seat, steering wheel into any kind of position that felt comfortable to me. 

This is a case of “I know and I don’t care”. The Supra is a better-looking car IMO. I like the bubble roof, I like the front end, I like the rear spoiler. I just like the car better.

25mph = 40km/h. That’s fast enough that when my wife and kids were t-boned by a distracted driver (“just holding onto” their cell phone), the impact crushed the side of her minivan. Our daughter (then 6-years-old) was sitting dead centre in the van. If she had been sitting middle row, passenger side, she would’ve been

I wonder why this is a problem that bELONgs only to Tesla. Weird.

This will be the most unpopular thing I’ll say today: I can’t put on mass. I was 130lbs when I graduated from high school in 1988. I’m 130lbs today. I go to the gym, I ride, I run, I hike and climb... I just can’t build mass.

I can’t buy Manny Jacinto as a truly evil bad guy. He’s just not... deep enough.

Yep. And, since I don’t watch the credits I would’ve never been the wiser. 

It’s the right car, at the right price, for the right person. $60k for a runner with good mechanicals and a good interior is a decent price. The shoddy paint is a bog oversight on the owner’s part.

A couple of years ago I traded time and distance away for safety. My route now adds about two kilometers to my ride but it’s far safer.

I’m not going to watch the video. I’ve been these cyclists and I don’t need to relive my experience.

Everybody cares about design lines. They’re a big part of why you like your car. Some people like curves, some like straight lines and hard edges, some like flowing arches, and on and on. If a line hits your emotions wrong, you won’t like the car.

I also restored a ‘65 Mustang. Mine was interesting. It was a notchback but it had a bunch of dealer-installed goodies that basically turned it into a GT. Fun car. I’ll have another one some day.

I do not expect sci-fi, but some semblance of reality is still required. It was present in original movie”
