I’m extremely uncomfortable with being called that. I was simply a deluded individual who finally started questioning what I was being spoon-fed. Nothing more.

You’re my hero.
Seriously, someone who used their critical thinking skills, analyzed the news, the internet, whatever, and realized:
Fox = BullSh*t.

Honestly, I have to get this off my chest... my love of the automotive industry is what turned me away from the right-wing.

I was massively GOP for a long time, thanks to my father. He was a Limbaugh/Drudge/FoxNews addict. Otherwise a good, decent man, but a lifetime of believing right-wing propaganda. I, personally,…

Street charging is already a thing, in the UK at least. They’ve been starting to appear over the last couple of years in Glasgow including in busy shop filled streets. But I wouldn’t risk over night charging at those ones due to there also being pubs in those streets. But the ones in the quiet residential areas I’ve…

Apolicies, I meant the GLA. But what I was really referring to was the Infiniti QX-30.

F1 is an engineering championship, parity is possible with the new CFD scale and budget cap, but there will always be outliers and top performers.

Well now we are talking, charge time has always been the Achilles Heel of the current crop of EVs. First adopters don’t mind it, but the mass market just wants to gas and go. It really needs to be five minutes, but ten minutes max is a good start.

“Self-driving cars were created long ago....They’re called taxis.”

Very much this. Most of Europe has very good public transportation (especially compared to the US). People who don’t want a car in Europe are already using public transportation; a smaller less useful car isn’t going to change their minds. 

I would argue that “blow a ton of money on events that are more about the experience of spending money around other rich people than the event itself” model fits squarely within Las Vegas’s culture.

So right in line with current new car prices.

1st Gear: Other possibles for this year: Beatles reunion with George and John, the return of Christ, and me getting laid, all equally probably. 

My 80 Malibu was self-driving. If you floored it, the throttle would stick to the floor because of the floor mat, and it was common for the lock cylinder to fall out of the steering column when you hit a bump so that the steering wheel would lock into position.

Everybody gripes about the clickbait articles on Jalop, but the real enthusiast stuff like this doesn't seem to generate many comments, so...anyway, thanks for posting this, keep the stories like it coming.  E9 is on my bucket list, unfortunately, as a tail end boomer, the front and middle end generational cohorts…

 . . . because there’s a current drain the team is working to trace.

The problem is, we keep looking at electric cars as just extensions of what we already have, so, since we already have super fancy hypercars, what happens if you just replace the drivetrain with electric?

In my opinion we’ve passed the point of “diminishing returns” on horsepower; especially for street cars. These extra powerful cars add very little to the zeitgeist beyond numbers to brag about and an astronomical price tag.

It seems to be the consensus that Capitalism is King in the US, except for cars, in which case you should #BuyAmerican

I have less than no interest in this sort of thing. An old Ferrari 308 would be far more interesting and engaging.
