The stationery place where I work inexplicably has a VW Corrado font. No one knows how it got there or why I was intrigued.

Obligatory...

You make good points and I think this is informative about hybrid/electric: https://jalopnik.com/this-is-what-a-500-000-mile-nyc-taxi-valvetrain-looks-l-1717745908

It is mind-boggling to me that they aren’t electric or electric/gas. I live in a “city” of 60,000 and an electric vehicle could easily cover its daily route and return for a charge. The reduced wear and tear alone from regen braking and not having an idling engine (or the wear on the engine from starting and stopping)…

I read a great review of the outgoing mail-truck, and it was pretty fascinating the lengths that they went to to make it last pretty much forever and be dirt-cheap to fix. Everything from the (pathetic but ridiculously easy to fix) Iron Duke to the riveted aluminum body, it was meant to go millions of miles and run…

My US model e38 740iL, e39 M5 and e36 328is all have/had that feature with the turn signals.

This would be so much easier if you told us the geographic area where the buyer is shopping.

CP, but it was a tough call. I really wanna NP this car, because I love the GS-R, and have owned both the DB2 and a DC5 variant, but there’s just not enough there to justify spending over $4k. This car is decent, but not perfect. And although I’m usually a sucker for a sedan, a GS-R sedan just doesn’t cut it for me.…

Model 3 wait-list people: [hands in pockets, shoulders drooped, kicks can]

I’m perfectly happy never visiting Reddit, so having Jalops curate it and add epic David Tracy rebuilds is all I need.

I assume you must spell “small investment” with at least four 0's...

I saw this add i think over a month ago, i thought about offering my deering sierra, (a banjo y’all)which, to be honest, i am not able to play to its potential.

Here you go:

The whole “put the charge port at the back like a gas car” seems like it needs rethinking, especially in the context of Teslas, where you really need to have a charger in your garage for the car to make any sense, and the typical buyer probably actually has a garage.

The biggest disappointment?

It pains me to hear CoTA and ‘since high school’ in the same sentence. I still feel like it was built yesterday. Christ Im old :(

is it currently ready to go to the track now? (some disassembly required is ok)

I agree that ‘FWD Sports Car’ may be a sort of oxymoron, but if my experience with owning a BMW i3 is any indication then it’s not like it would actually be able to do sweet donuts or anything. With TCS turned off the most I could get my i3 to do is understeer; with something like a 3000hz sample rate on the drive…

They have this, it’s called the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge.

The biggest problem is that we didn’t get the ZVW40, which had a Li-ion battery in the center console and a third row, just the ZVW41 with a NiMH battery where the third row would’ve gone.
