That’s so funny!  I traded in my 15 mustang for a volt for the same cheapskate reason (70 mile daily commute now).  I thought there was a problem with my speedo at first because I noticed the same thing.  I love the off-the-line torque of the volt though, you can totally jump off the line in stealth mode.  Nobody

Ok, as an ev owner, I’d like to see trailers you could rent that act as a on the go generator to keep your battery topped off on road trips. Normal EV 99% of the time, hook up a travel trailer for road trips.  Standard high voltage high current connector that functions on the go. 

If it's a manual trans, could be neutral rattle.  Common in many transmissions, and obnoxious.  Try pushing in clutch and see if it goes away.

I have a '16 volt now and LOVE it, but would trade it in a second for an f150 with the same or greater electric range...

Do you consider the i3 REX a non-EV?  I have a 75 mile round trip commute, and can charge at work.  I burn a 9 gallon tank a YEAR in my 2016, and that’s mostly to keep the gas from going stale.  It really is a total EV until the battery is depleted.  When on a road trip, you can force is to use the gas engine, and it

I just bought a used 2016 volt, I’m glad it depreciated, but don’t know why.. extremely low maintenance, and it's so frugal and nice to drive..  my gain I guess..

Or, better yet, user them for fire department training, fires, Jaws of life, etc.  😁

Couple of tips, always wear all of the gear, all of the time. make sure your shoes are tough enough to take a scrape, ideally wear riding boots. Nothing sucks more than trying to recover from an accident when you can't walk. Gloves all the time everytime. not only for when you fall but when you hit a bug doing a

Crack pipe at any price north of $500. Can’t wait to get all ~180 supercharged horsepower and 12 MPG while experiencing infuriating ergonomics, weird brakes, and crushing disappointment.

Engine bay is only like 1.5" narrower, and it’s far superior in suspension. I’ve had several fieros over the years, this is my first 88. Even fully modded, the pre-88s feel like trucks in comparison.

When the 3800 pops in my fiero, a volt setup is going in next. 😁. The 3800 only has 10k miles in it though, so it might be a while. Also, no rear wheel steering in mine, it’s an 88..

You might be on to something, this is the current mileage as listed in the ad:

All hail the PFF’ers.

If you’ve driven a 4th gen VW with the pushrod 2.0, imagine that with a big flywheel. It has 125hp and 140 lb/ft of torque. I drive mountain passes in 6th gear at 75mph in it, and the last 700 mile trip I just did managed 42.1MPG at freeway speeds with the AC on (and I wasn’t driving “fuel efficiently”). No regrets.

My buddy Damian did the same thing for a season.. Hilarious. He ended up taking the body back off as it was WAAAAY too heavy. Meet the Skideria Fauxrarri...

Have one, it sounds gravelly and mean, but smooth as butter. It’s amazing how little you can feel. That tiny turbo will over boost to 22psi, too, while still getting 45mpg at 75mph.

Can confirm. Bought a 17 focus with the 1.0 and a manual. Fun little gas sipper, but can’t imagine it with an auto. Too bad about the power shifts, the cars deserved better.

You put the top town and look over the header. XD <- convertible mustang owner.

I must be the only one, but I like the new front end. Hmm.. Oh well, I’ve always had weird taste... :) *glances at engine-swapped fiero in driveway*

Holy crap, I never knew this and am a long time Jalop. Thank you!
