Not sure if this is 100% related, but there have been a large number of claims made against EV insurers to replace wiring that is being eaten by rodents.

Part costs on Volvos have apparently crept up over the years. A headlight housing on the S90 runs several thousand dollars...

Cost of repair is likely the issue on that. Part availability, complexity and that a rear-ending can total a wagon pretty easily (in the eyes of insurance)

My assumption is a big part of the electric car tax on insurance is the repair process. Back when I was an adjuster in 06/07, I ran into plenty of shops who were afraid to work on a Prius... or wanted more money per hour to do it because of the risk of getting electrocuted. Add to that the fact that there are fewer…

It’s pretty amazing isn’t it? After all these years of making Gundam games, they still can’t get that feeling right. 

He, sure as @##$, better reload those guns at least once in the first season. I swear I’ve seen Geralt do this in the games.

I’ve been calling it Spider-Man: Arkham Knight as it really seems to have taken a lot from the series and quite frankly I am okay with that. It looks amazingly fun to play (and its not too hard on the eyes either) and this review just makes me want to play it more. An open world sandbox Spider-Man game on the PS4 YES…

I can’t go by what you hope he might have meant; I can only go by what he wrote.

How about you touch your car, put a Coke on the roof of your car, ride around in your car with shoes on, and drive your car through rain, dust bugs (whatever “dust bugs” are) and mud?

When you buy all your own cars, sure, you can touch them all you want. If you lean on my shit (even with crappy paint) with keys in your pocket or you put your phone down on it and scrape it picking it up, you’re getting a bill. Just because I sit/lean/push on my cars and use them as tool racks doesn’t mean you can.

Cool man. You are okay with people touching your car. I’m not and it’s mine, so keep your hands to yourself.

I am beginning to think these articles are just being published to get the clicks and comments. And here I am commenting.

Some of the cars at Pebble Beach are equivalent to the Mona fuckin Lisa...

Counterpoint: It’s not your property and we aren’t children. You absolutely have no reason to be touching stuff that isn’t yours without consent.

Why the fuck would I even want to touch a damn vehicle with my fingers? Doesn’t matter if it’s made out of carbon fiber or steel, shit’s hard and doesn’t taste like anything. It’s not like they’re boobs. Soft, silky smooth boobs.

I am sorry, but your position is all kinds of wrong. If you touched my classic car at a show without permission, which has original paint, I would knock you out.

dragging fingernails across the paint is not touching a car. it’s lightly keying it while being selectively unaware.
