They need to give us all the Abarths! I don’t know what my next car would be since I love the hell out of mine and there’s nothing like it in American offerings right now.

It’s being built in a Toyota factory, so it’s a good bet that they were given the bZ4X and were just able to make some tweaks. 

I will now exclusively call the Toyota version the Bees-Forks

This one is basically the same as the Bees-Forks, which looks a lot like other Toyota crossovers. Guessing that Toyota did the design part of this share.

“It’s been a great 2 weeks, but I’ve taken a new role as CEO of zombie Drivetribe.”

Saw the headline, assumed you were leaving.

I may have forgotten to mention something

Do you need to be an overweight CPA cosplaying as a “badass biker” to buy one?

Correct me if I’m wrong but if he is outright buying it and taking it private then the SEC has zero power over him. He’s buying out all the shareholders. It will be delisted and Elon can and will do whatever he wants with it.

I blame the design and engineering of those headlights to the vehicle’s fascia (refer to IIHS inclusion of headlight performance in their ratings). Everybody seems enamored with “projector-style” lights without regard to good reflector and lens design to put light where it ought to be - on the road without dazzling…

“or will the all-electric Vette be something else entirely?”

Sounds to me like the kind of thing a new company/startup goes through as they try to ramp up production and work through issues.

“Miami Gardens residents have recently argued that locals will be able to hear vehicles at 97 decibels within a near-three mile radius of the track.”

How hard would it have been to google a pic of the actual Ghost Camaro:

What’s funny is that CNN spun off a separate network, HLN, for exactly that reason. But now it just shows garbage docuseries and true crime stuff. Now to get that, you have to go to CNN International, which is a paid subscription.

I think it was Colbert interviewing Anderson Cooper, where he just roasted the name CNN+. Basically, “How is it CNN+ if you cannot watch CNN on it?”

Once I found out that, due to existing carriage contracts, CNN+ could not live or breaking news coverage, I questioned why they invested anything in this endeavor to begin with rather than try leveraging the CNN brand for docuseries that could be launched on their existing streaming platform. But I guess that’s why…

Holy shit, someone needs to make this into a shirt. I’d wear it to every race.

There are significant factual errors in his story — claiming that restrictor plates were introduced in 2000, referencing “the Busch Cup,” claiming that Jeff Gordon only began winning championships after Dale Earnhardt’s death — that undermine the points he’s trying to make.
