Definitely agree. And, if not, I just want them all to sound like cars from The Jetsons. But, it should be an option. If the familiar drone of an ICE car gets more people to buy EVs that’s a good thing.

Price. Mostly.

Remember a while back when NASA was so frustrated by the media saying that the astronauts were stuck there and how this was all part of a known plan/contingency and blah blah blah?

$200 for a Blazer is a great deal. But $360? Meh.

Share your sentiment. The Veyron is a pointless car owned by people who have a pointless amount of money. As a technological exercise? Fascinating. As a car? Boring. If someone drove a Veyron to my house I’d drive it to wherever I could sell it first and that’s it. Same thing with every Bugatti that’s come after. 

Oh, fully agreed. I’m happy to share in your outrage over it. And revel in the hypocrisy of it. Such things only become “news” when it happens during a Republican president. While Fox lacks credibility almost always, there are certain things that they get right - and the response by the Biden administration to the…

I think it’s very cool, in an ‘I took peyote with my friend and came up with the idea and when we came down we drank 63 beers and built it’ kind of way. If I wanted to own it as a car, I’d throw the seller a grand because it’s hilarious.

Adjusted for inflation, the Mirage LS (the fast one) would only be $22k. I guess the closest thing would be the Civic hatch sport, or whatever they call the six-speed one with 160hp. But that’s more like $26k. Of course, it comes with eons more technology and safety in it...

Really...? It acted like a CVT, just a really bad one... Although it kind of acted like a traditional too, especially if I needed just a little bit more power. And then it would drop down like 3 “gears” (thought it was a CVT) so suddenly I’d be screaming around at 6,000 rpm when I wanted just a smidge more. 

I mean, in general, I agree. Netanyahu is surely an aspirational dictator. He’s not quite there yet, given that there is an upcoming election and polls show him tanking at the moment. I think Harris picking Phil Gordon as national security advisor is a clear sign that her stance on Israel is at least nuanced and shows…

I live in up/mid-state NY. Which is basically just Appalachia with a different accent. So, I’m unfortunately well-versed in the insanity of these folks. I guess when you have a total lack of education and critical thinking skills you gravitate towards the people who allegedly think and talk like you and reject the…

Man, picking JD has to be on the list of the biggest own-goals in political history.

You shut your damn mouth! The NC Miata is the only reasonably price Miata out there anymore and I need it to stay that way! The amount of $3000 NA and NB Miatas I’ve passed up over the years is tragic. And now they’re all $10k.

It was probably a little closer to 2 and 1/2 hours. But, yeah. I was f’ing shocked. He had a great set of tools and a great set-up for doing shade-tree work. With slide out toolboxes on his truck, a built-in compressor running off a little Honda generator in the back, a portable car lift (I’d never even seen one…

This election is wild. On one side you have two completely rational, intelligent human beings who seem to genuinely want to steer the country on the right path. On the other side you have two bloviating lunatics who cozy up to dictators, want women’s value to be determined by the amount of children they have, and have…

It is shocking how often it is outright wrong in its suggestions.

Hundred bucks is a crazy good deal.

Having seen a few of these in the wild I have to say they designed a great-looking SUV. But man, that back end is really a let down. It’s great from all angles except the back. Just awful.

Nor did I, until I was given the keys to one!

I was just writing about this in another post, so I’ll just keep it going here.
