8200rpm redline for the GT350? And you call that high? Wuss...

I last looked into getting some ~5 or 6 years ago and it was going to be ~$30k, cover a full quarter of my roof and provide ~75% of my power. Sorry I don’t remember specific numbers, but a panel system was half the price, half the size, and should have covered my full usage with power to spare, so I’d say about half

You could always go with solar shingles...they’re a thing that already exist, I imagine the real innovation SolarCity/Tesla/Musk will come out with is making it not look like some random glossy patch in the middle of a normal roof.

...is there a name for the horrific sinking feeling when you get over the imposter syndome only to find that you were right about your ineptitude, just incorrect about the mind boggling level of stupidity surrounding all of us?

Two passengers in the front, I like to have a nice hot coffee and a mostly iced down water...drink the coffee while the ice melts.

haha, that thing is awesome!

Pork - The other white meat.

I live for this shit.

Between this and the Nomad, I think we could build a pretty sweet Zombie Apocalypse garage. What else do we need? Terrawind, Rally Fighter, Mega Track?

...will it baby?

Awesome...just not the colloquial meaning.

I believe you mean “albeit”. One word.

Add the badges, paint with really low quality paint, let it bake in the sun ‘till things start cracking, then remove the badges so they look like old sunburns...

Been much the same for 10 years. Good to see we’re not the only ones!

I don’t think that would have helped. This looked like more than 1.5psi off stock. Perhaps if they were installed at all 4 wheels?

Finally, I built a damn business model for this exact scenario in ‘99 and was told it was ‘nonviable’ because manufacturing would never be able to adapt to the variety for a reasonable price. Always bothered me that nobody with the power to do anything did anything like it. I’m sure countless others have had the same

They did, but apparently people weren’t comfortable swapping out the more expensive and fragile parts of their car for parts unknown...or so a co-worker tells me. I’m not really sure why swapping didn’t take off. IIRC it was just a few seconds to swap over to a fully charge battery and you didn’t have to exit the

True, but the comment was more to point out that if the “long” charge times are too much for a PD to absorb in downtime, the battery swap would be able to find a good home with them.

True, it could also charge while the cops are doing their favorite thing: paperwork!
