Alexie, obviously.  Didn’t you see the username?

I certainly agree with that, I’m just saying that I understand if a manufacturer makes changes to reduce cabin noise.  What I don’t understand is the constant redesigns of interior for no useful purpose, other than making it more complicated and more expensive to repair.

Reasonable questions - especially related to interior.  Better sound deadening is fine to me, and obviously there would be improved materials that hopefully have a longer life expectancy (and are also lighter). But I’m with you in that I don’t see a reason to spend more to make the interior more complex with little…

Why would you put a spoiler on a car where you’ve camber’d the tires?!

No.

YES.

Or, if it’s a Swift, you never know when it is going to randomly start hitting cars or obstacles.  Pass quickly, people!

As opposed to someone who read Rand and somehow got something out of that ridiculousness...

People in the right lane stopping to wave jaywalking pedestrians through, making it more likely that the pedestrian gets hit in the left lane by someone who can’t see them.

First Paragraph - that’s not what you said. You said the politicians knew it wouldn’t change behavior, which is problematic for 2 reasons: 1) taxes do change behavior once they reach a certain threshold (see: cigarettes and the direct correlation), and 2) even if 1 weren’t 2, I don’t grant that’s what the…

“Control freaks in the USA knew that fuel taxes even if they could sell them would not change what people purchased.”

How much am I looking at?

That’s “Holy Grail” SkyActiv-X to you, pal.

No title=automatic CP.

What are you fucking talking about?  They designed a Ute!  A Ute!  Apparently these millenials are better than the previous generation at designing cars.  I bet it’s even a manual.

WANT SO MUCH! GET IN MY BELLY DRIVEWAY!

Seriously.  I wish certain manufacturers made it easy to buy a new motor whole (transmission optional) for a build. Perfect for a modern frankencar.

How can I get the engine without the shitty SUV attached?

These aren’t manual.  That clearly makes them shit.

It’s not excluding launch vehicles, spacecrafts, mission operations, etc. The initial 90 day mission cost for both rovers was $820 million. There were obviously further costs for extra missions, but nothing like the $820 million. And you’re thinking of Mars 2020, which is a different mission.
