I’ve sold a Tercel for $125, and bought a RWD Celica for $200, so $55 for a Datsun 210 with a automatic sounds about right for the time.

I can remember when this would have had 2 zeros knocked off the price.

My mom and I basically shared one of these, exact same color/top/engine.  We only had vinyl seats, though.

They should concentrate on bringing all the versions of the ID Buzz.

PHEV only makes sense if you can do your commute on the battery only.  For long trips you’re just hauling around extra weight which costs a few mpgs.

I think I remember hearing these ships were originally intended for the Asian market, which is why the passenger count dropped a lot when it’ll be reconfigured for a different market, as we like bigger cabins. So, a big monastery might be something that would have also appealed to the original market.

But I could have been.  My point being that maybe they gain more customers by increasing HP than they lose by cutting mpg by a slight amount.

When I chose a hybrid, one of the factors that lead me to choose C-Max over Prius was the significantly better 0-60 time.

I have a co-worker that has/had two of the cars on here.  He originally had a MX-6, then liked the engine so much he bought a Millennia.   The Millennia went down first, engine caught on fire driving down the road.  He still has the MX-6, but it has constant transmission problems (it’s on it’s 3rd one now, and needs…

I climbed to the top of mountain in Virginia in my BMW X3, I was feeling pretty good about it, passing by built up Jeeps and what-not, until I got to the top and there was an Audi S4 convertible and a Camry there.

ND all the way. These were terrible, slow cars when they were new. Now they are a hazard on the road for both the driver and everyone around them. I think this is at least 5k overpriced. Oh, and the seats are probably original, the fabric in Japanese cars of that era fades to a purply blue.

I was just looking at hybrid CUVs to replace my C-Max in a couple of years, and the Escape Hybrid looked to be the best, with best MPG and you won’t have to pay a Toyota premium for a RAV4.

It’s really hard, because every time a new model is released one of the ‘improvements’ is a slightly bigger size.  This happens until you wind up with the land yachts of the 70s.

Yeah, so it’s definitely the 400 V8.  With a few quick mods, you can have this engine putting out a lot more power, and even better, gobs of torque.  I had one in my 78 F-150, and it could spin 35" tires in 2nd gear endlessly.  The primary mods needed are an aftermarket 4bbl and intake, a cam and a timing set that…

That was kinda my point.  It’s probably not going to be any cheaper to remove this than right now while you can get to it by land.

I don’t car what method you use, although there could be toxic chemicals in there you don’t want airborne.

They should take this opportunity to clean this mess out of the river.

I did the math quickly in my head as I read it.  It compared the Concorde with the largest jet now available.  At first they seems comparable, but then you have to include the newer jet is hauling 4x as many people.  So the metric you really need is fuel per passenger mile(or km.)

Capacity can be used in either situation, meaning weight or volume. You yourself used capacity in a prior post, and it’s meaning was ambiguous as to whether you meant weight or volume, because having a flatbed instead of a ‘truck bed’ could increase or decrease the volume of goods able to be carrier.

Because your tongue weight is part of your bed capacity. So if you have 10,000 lbs of towing capacity and 1,000 bed capacity and you have 500lbs of stuff in the bed, suddenly your towing capacity is limited to 500 lbs of tongue weight (stuff in bed + tongue weight) which would generally mean about 5000 lbs of trailer.
