Yeah, I don’t think they were cheating, and I understand why they appealed the decision, but there was never going to be a scenario where they win that one. Worn plank is worn plank, no matter how it happened. 

The kerbs definitely accelerated a whole lot of failures

It’s unfortunate that this is what happened, hopefully the general public is a bit more forgiving to Tower Motorsports and doesn’t paint them as cheaters. Parts fail and unintended consequences may be the result of those failures. Although the governing bodies don’t always use common sense when it comes to such rules,…

Something tells me those new bus stop curbs were causing some accelerated fatigue.

Volvo fanboi and master tech here. Polestar is mostly Volvo. Parts including modules are interchangable, they use the same part number scheme. Polestar uses its own variant of Volvo’s VIDA software for diagnostics and programming. The oddball parts that are unique to this car were somewhat parts-bin from geely's other…

The drivetrain is shared with just about every Volvo built in the last decade.

I wonder how true the scarcity of parts actually would be. So much of this car is shared with existing volvos it’s basically a just souped up 2 door V60 PE.

Those even less, when they dropped. I believe the R35 was just above 60K when it first launched. It was the deal of the century, actually that time period had some amazing cars: Evo x and STI dropped, second Gen GT500, GTR, 4th gen Viper. I’m sure I’m missing alot more, but 2007 - 2010 were great years for Cars

Man I miss cars like this. The base models were like $80K new with a V10. What a time to be alive

That’s your non-Japanese upbringing not understanding Japanese culture.

I dunno, in this particular case, keeping a couple pristine original RX-7s around in Mazda’s collection is a worthy cause.

I can’t stop thinking about this. Working backward from the goal of “make a Google Maps competitor,” how did anything that came after make even a little sense? You’d have an easier time making an AI that scrapes public records, geographic survey data, and such. How on earth was “have people all over the place turn…

I’m not even mad at this. Making a globally-popular, profitable game is *really hard to do.*

In all fairness, When Hyundai came to America with its Excel sedan, not only was the car trash but Hyundai “It rhymes with Sunday” and its buyers’ misfortunes became a running joke.

You can give it any label you want, but at its core, the Flex was a *station wagon*. A Country Squire for the new millennium, if you will.

Enthusiasts know that station wagons are good. The general population thinks otherwise, and thus, the failure of the Flex.

He is a living breathing “pee is stored in your balls” meme. I want to die. 

The apparent mental  health issues and drug use probably have a bit to do with it as well...

I was just gonna say “troll.”

I do not guide my posts by what is financially beneficial but what I believe is interesting or important or entertaining to the public.

Musk is a fucking POS, and you shouldn’t give him any of your hard earned money by buying a tesla.
