Morally inexcusable?... look at you on your high horse. I guess you would say that if i drive 1100 miles to camp at yellowstone and waste 100 gallons of fuel instead of camping in the forest down the road that i have done something morally inexcusable? You need to first examine yourself before worrying about others “mo…

Go virtue signal somewhere else.

This thing is 1000x more interesting and authentic than every other ugly, homogenous CUV polluting the road these days. Those things riding on lifted hatchback/sedan platforms are truly the bane of everything good about cars.

Why does Jalop get all excited about stuff like this. It’s copyright/intellectual property theft and it’s fcking obvious. Normalizing shit like this does harm. 

“This has also got me wondering what off-road culture looks like in China. It’s a huge country with a lot of open space; they’ve certainly got the real estate for it.”

No, it just looks like a crappy knockoff Tundra. Which is probably exactly what it is.

You act as if people with wealth are morally or ethically obligated to spend it fixing the world. They are morally and ethically obligated to not stamp on the rights protecting other citizens from their influence, their wealth from the government/citizens taxation, or to not exert undue influence that would negatively…

That’s how society has been more or less constructed for a few thousands year. Not really the planets fault.

Thank you for being that guy.

How much emissions are emitted to keep works of art in galleries in any given city?

It’ll be driven less than 15k and sit in a garage. It has an exceedingly low environmental impact. 

Ferrari has a long wait list for these one of one cars. I don’t think the owner was considering the pandemic when they ordered the car a couple years ago. And sure, it costs the same as a bunch of PPE. Of course the issue with PPE right now is supply constrained, not specifically the ability to pay for it.

If you had enough money to have Ferrari make a custom car just for you, are you saying you’d never make any frivolous purchases on anything?

“I’ll be slashing the fleet further whe..... Oh look! A Holy Grail Jeep Canhardly with the optional 7 speed manual gearbox with twin reverse gears, wood grain trim, rare puce colour and it only needs new front running gear, wheels all round, new head gasket, piston rebore, new sump and complete oil change after…

Too much money for something so old and with so many miles that wasn’t great to begin with combined with the fact that it has the structural integrity of wet cardboard if you wreck.

Chrysler did not fail. They made a working version of this car in the 1960s. It wasn’t going to succeed commercally so it was cancelled but it wasn’t a fake car you push out to do photo shoots with at auto shows. This was their EV-1

More like 1967 LA - supposedly, just the very first emissions control devices (mostly not venting crankcase vapors directly to the outside air but burning them through a PCV system) reduced the emissions of cars by something like 50%. 

Exactly. This is a classic straw man argument stating the obvious fact that breathing polluted air in Bangladesh is bad so roll up your windows in Los Angeles.

Article: Driving with windows down exposes you to whatever is in the outside air more than if they were closed.

80% more pollution or 100% of these chili dog farts.
