yes - how dare them actually make cars that people want and are willing to pay money for!! Wait...I think I misunderstood your point...what was it again?

When you said “is modular bow to stern.”, I thought you could clip the entire boat to another entire boat to make a bigger boat.
I had visions of one of these thing 5 units long and 3 units wide forming an artificial, self-powered, mobile party island.
Disappointed.
Ahh, the Dream Cruise. Brings back a lot of memories. Mostly involving everyone who lives even remotely near Woodward constantly repeating the phrase “I fucking hate the Dream Cruise...” for a solid two weeks.
Me me, nothing about the super really works. I’ve seen the FT1 in person in Japan and it’s stunning. But part of the reason I think that it works is that it’s a big full size car. The ft-1 wheelbase is 13 inches longer than the production car. I'd guess it was about 6-8" wider too. The same styling shrunk down to a…
When can I invest in the SPAC?
He's right. Established RV brands are simply not innovative enough to charge 50 grand for a shitty pop up camper with Alexa slapped on. You can buy a hell of a nice full size pull-behind for that, and have enough left over to make a sizeable down payment on a new truck to pull it with, cyber or otherwise.
I think you’re appreciating the wrong part of the car. It’s still a beautiful object. Just because it’s past matters to you doesn’t mean it matters to other. Destroying the car does nothing to undo the past. It’s the whole point of objects. They’re fairly meaningless. Even if they are beautiful and have a history.…
“I’m not sure the car’s existence alone is problematic absent any other motivations.”
I’m genuinely confused about this article, and the point it’s making.
This car is problematic if (1) it is venerated because of its connection to the Nazi era, and (2) the people venerating it are doing so as a back-handed way to praise Nazi accomplishments. Is there evidence of this in the actions of the owners, the judges, or the Pebble Beach management? Or is the fact that the car…
Don’t you own a Nazi-designed Beetle?
Every turd you release into the wild is another chance for an unsuspecting potential buyer to step on it, say "eww" and remove the vehicle from their wish list, no matter how good your future pooper scooper plan may be.
Who approaches an accident scene on cruise control or any auto control feature?? If the driver is paying attention they usually slow down and move away from the lanes being used before they reach the scene.
3rd: That’s exactly what a company like Rocket (formerly Quicken Loans) has done since the beginning. Before the crash they wrote loans, and then sold them to Countrywide for servicing. Countrywide got too greedy buying sub-prime, resulting in their demise. Rocket is doing pretty well for themselves b/c they avoided…
Yea, my thought exactly. They #1 selling vehicle in the country is about to be offered as an electric model, in its most popular configuration, at a price that is extremely competitive with its gas counterpart. But the sky is falling and nobody is serious about EV’s and blah blah.
“Automatic” is too broad of a term.
For towing, I want a torque converter automatic. Truck has that, not that I had a choice but is what I would have picked regardless.
For daily on the street, I love a manual but a dual-clutch automatic is fine.
For fun street toy or fun track car - manual.
Fast track toy - dual-clutch…
Um, what’s do you want more than anything at the scene of an accident? DUH, a first responder! Crash directly into an ambulance and there’s no wait for paramedics.
This is mostly a list of things that you can get by ponying up for a higher trim. The Saab dash is the only one that really deserves a spot.
In terms of legendary large engines that did make it into the passenger vehicles, it’s the Cummins B series(6BT, ISB, B6.7). These are engines that hit 7 digit mileage with ease in hot shot applications. Even the modern CM2350b engine can have the DPF and other emission equipment surpass 500k without issues.
