David Tracy, formerly from Jalopnik and now with The Autopian, made it happen for his $2000 Nissan Leaf:

The Ferrari 296 and Mclaren Artura both have electric only range. it’s useful for reducing tax charges in some countries and also being able to leave silently at 6:00am on a Sunday morning for a car meet has its benefits in not waking the neighbours.

I think there’s at least a 50/50 chance this was deliberate. Gotta keep that hype machine rolling.

*sigh* Once again, someone that doesn’t actually know what Dave Ramsey is saying.

Exactly. Dave Ramsey is like a 12 step program for alcoholics. If you are deep in debt, you absolutely should follow his plan to the letter and get your life back.

Yeah, he's a real idiot. Friends of mine followed his hard-line advice to the t for 6 years and paid off every penny of debt including their house.

I’d love to call in to his show and ask a real financial planning question such as what strategies he would recommend to mitigate taxation on multi-generational wealth.

Listen to Dave Ramsey a bit. Sure, you can pick apart his advice and find examples where his advice may not be the best. What you will find when you listen to him for awhile is that people call over-and-over who have financed shitty cars (like horrible Fiat/Chrysler products) that have worn out or broken down long

While Tom is technically correct I think he misses the real issue here.  Americans in general are spending more than they can afford on cars they don’t need.  In 2019 the average cost of a car was $34,000, that is up 2% from the year before and has been increasing at a rate greater than inflation for over 20 years. 

Two things:

Let’s see how much a 2020 Supra VIN is worth.

Are the VIN plates salvageable? Asking for a friend...

When an F1 car turns, the inside tires travel a shorter distance than the outside tires. You’d want the inside tire to be angled out so that both tires would more closely follow the curve of the turn, thus increasing grip. The more grip, the faster you go and the more stable you’ll feel. But if the tires are toed out

A torque converter automatic allows the motor to stay in boost instead of loosing boost when you let off to shift. It doesn’t solve lag, but it does eliminate a condition that introduces lag into your acceleration times.

Now playing

“Understeers like a tugboat?”

Mine turns just fine:

Wow. It's almost as cheap as it used to be! I'm still grandfathered on the $20 for 80GB plan, so I guess I won't automatically move since it's not cheaper for me. But it's close enough that I may just choose to go with the 100GB plan.
