Said it before, will say it again. GM is where good ideas go to die. They have good engineers but they are run by bean counters and slow moving management. Watched that John delorean film the other night and he was complaining about the same complacency back in the 70’s so some things never change.

Marketing idiots gotta market. I’m an engineer and my least favorite part about any product launch is watching marketing putting their booze addled pea brains together and making a stupid name. Doesn’t mean the product is no good.

You know what? Good Job Ford! I hope this sells gangbusters. Unlike some other internal combustion companies I could name you didn’t half ass it.

By experience MINI. Would not suggest to anyone but my mortal enemy. I was in a mini club and even the koolaid drinkers admit they are shit. 

You don’t need to cut up fenders. Take one he has made and splash it to make a mold. This shape is super easy to make a mold of and once done you can make new ones as one piece in fiberglass or wet lay up carbon if you want.

Ha! My stepfather had one of these with side pipes and wide craters and nearly killed both of us with it when I was 7-8 years old going around a sweeping overpass and loosing the back end. Car did a 360 within the two lanes just missing the concrete barrier. Short wheelbases and horsepower (combined with shitty 70’s…

I was pretty happy with my VW buybacks so if you think theres a chance of that go for it. I got to own and drive a Touareg for 3 years and 100,000kms and got back more than I paid (and even stripped $2000 worth of stuff of it out and sold online before I returned it). Best car purchase I ever made!  

GM would make it front wheel drive with a fisher price interior. GM is where good ideas go to die. 

You can get almost anything in diesel in Europe. Even cars made in North America but exported are made diesel for that market. 

Yep, having driven auto’s and manuals off road automatic is just wayyy better. 

Yep, Honda has screwed the pooch big time. Here in Canuckistan Honda is super popular (civic is our #1 seller for decades now) and when Honda owners I know want an electric they shift too.... Tesla cause what else is actually viable? Honda’s lost a bunch of customers no doubt for life (or nearly). An all electric…

Holy shit MINI thinks it’s issue is being connected to BMW and not the fact they are overpriced and shoddily (at best) constructed? It’s not like being connected to Kia, if anything MINI drags BMW’s reputation down. I mean when a BMW is considered “reliable” compared to your offerings you are in a world of hurt.  

Well the X class does not come because of the Chicken tax. Instant 25% added to the price for crossing the pond. They could make a truck in the US plant but it probably wouldn’t be the current X since the current X is actually a Nissan. However they should make a pickup based on the M or G class IMO. Especially if…

Get a nexus card. Pearson without nexus is the 7th circle of hell. With nexus it’s only the first ring maybe. Getting there is still shit though. I live equidistant from TO and buffalo and I try to book every flight I can out of buffalo. 

Compared to the over restoring corvette types with their paper tags on the parts and just the right chalk marks and “perfect”overspray and mistakes I don’t find this unreasonable. I mean at least you are actually getting something physically in your hand that COULD be useful for the $1000.

Well that POS motor Peugeot sold to mini from 2009 to like 2017 was the most unreliable engine I have seen since the GM x series cars of the early 80’s. I mean a modern car that can’t go 100,000kms without multiple critical failures is something even FCA don’t do anymore. And don’t try to say it’s just me, I belonged…

American, French and Italian quality under one roof? I bet the Japanese are terrified! 

Ahhh republicans. All about “State rights” when they are not in power and federal rights when they are. Just be honest you are in it for the oligarchs and evil empires not the people.  

I hope she gets deported since she lied on her paperwork to become a citizen in the first place (genius visa my ass).
