Right now, it’s color. I have an insanely blue car and I love it, even though it’s clearly deficient in many ways. But it’s fun to look at, and for that alone, I love it.

No.

Makes sense - Then those areas shouldn’t go electric.

Charging infrastructure should have zero to do with their decision. These things by definition park in depots at night. During the day, they make runs that are very, very rarely longer than 20-30 miles in a loop. And for those that are double-duty, taking sports/events teams, you can always keep a few gas burners…

Maybe they’ll Full Parsh and charge $1000 for “Stupid Steering Wheel Delete”

1) That steering wheel is immensely stupid and was designed by someone who hasn’t operated a car. It might have some progressive steering where low speed, full-rotation maneuvers are handled so you don’t need to go 720 degrees, but come on.

It looks like they made a major breakthrough on a fundamental problem - storage of the H2 without leakage and while increasing safety.  Cool.

Can you imagine being in the room to discuss trade offs?

Funny thing is that he’s pretty conscientious and definitely aware of his surroundings. I’m sure he could pay more attention, but he just happens to live in a place where the roads are Hot Garbage year-round.  These are curb strikes or median hits - it’s all potholes and road derbis that takes him out.

A good friend of mine, who is Not a Car Person, buys the wheel and tire warranty for every vehicle he buys or leases. I thought it was ridiculous the first time he told me about it, only to discover that he has an unbelievable ability to destroy tires, and sometimes wheels. I believe his 530e went through 6 (?)…

I don’t trust Nissan to bring back the Xterra in proper form. I trust them to do something wrong and unholy and bring this thing back and call it an Xterra instead.

Me too!

We used to play a game where a rider would attempt to hit the kill switch of another in their riding party, sometimes at traffic lights, but often while in motion.

Definitely will baby. My friends had one for a long time (until the battery got to a useless capacity for their commute needs), and they had two kids in car seats.

What a machine ... and they sound amazing, I admit.

I had a Termi on my 900SS and it was FABULOUS.  But I still liked the Triples better.

I’ve owned 2 recent model Triumph triples. A Daytona 675 and a Speed Triple.

Impossible People

I had exactly the same response. How much of this is their PR dept running some shadow campaign of weirdness? I’m sure there are real, actual human stans out there.  But some of this shit is just too strange to attribute to meat-based people.
