I bought a used leaf years back. It’s been nice. I parked it in the Bakersfield heat with the windows rolled up to help its battery degradation along as it was on the edge of getting a new battery under warranty from Nissan. It did. The new battery has held up much better.

I so agree. I daily a Nissan leaf charged my solar panels. I worked every weekend on a twin turbo, japanese built, 300hp, AWD monster that burns loads of fuel (1991 Dodge Stealth Turbo). And I can’t quit driving it hard. I am concerned about climate change, and I continue to keep alive this polluting monster. The…

I have plugged mine and had many years of driving on plgugged tires. Mostly out of hating the tire shop experience. Annecdotal safety evidence is not the way to guide your decisions. So don’t do as I do.

I owned a 2012 new. Great 5 speed tranmission, roomy, verstatile...terrible AC. Had to get rid of it. It could not handle the heat here.

That explains why there was such an awesome variety of cars in England. I’d become giddy every time I saw a new brand or model on the street. I wish our federal government and my state (CA) would fall in line with the rest of the developed world.

Thank you. I feel like he is accidentally disparaging the turbo version. 222hp for a turbocharged dohc engine in the 90's would not be impressive. Naturally aspirated, that’s rather good.

TT 300 or 320 HP depending on year.

I just bought a 1991 Stealth Turbo. I’ve been wrenching on it every day (except when parts run out and I have to wait for the mail) for weeks now.  I’m really enjoying it.

Rob,

Andrew, I always think this. I tend to keep my car longer than my phone. Why have all of these janky infotainment options that are outdated instantly. A nice phone mount with Qi charging built in would be perfect.

Exact same experience with my old 2012 Fit. Dealer said they couldn’t reproduce it. Honda refused a warranty repair and that my manually cycling an iced over ac off and back on could be normal operation. I figured it was a bad thermistor that should have cycled off the compressor automatically. Now I have a 2013 Lead…

He did a lot of acid during those days. That could have been how fast he was going.

My dad got a speeding ticket on an unrestricted section of the autobahn in the 70s when he was stationed there guarding bombs. It was in a VW Microbus, floored going down hill. The officer deemed it an unsafe speed, my dad wholeheartedly agrees to this day. Mocrobuses were not intended to go fast.

I was at Pikes Peak and watched it pass silently (I mistook it for a Model X). Then someone with an “I work at this event” badge said something about its audible siren not playing. It’s a safety feature. It must have come back on at some point.

I was lucky enough to see it in person. I never thought I would.Drove up the peak on Friday and was like, wait... this is happening while I’m in Colorado? The road felt so sketchy at 25 mph I can only imagine

Why can’t I drive my 1997 540i out of smog compliance like my buddy is driving his Golf TDI? Can we add smog free driving to the settlement for all e39s?

I had a 93 Mercury Villager (Nissan Quest clone) that had a wicked exhaust manifold leak due to a design defect. It had been fixed once and broke again. If we used the fresh air setting on the A/C, it smelled like you had your face in the exhaust. So my wife and I always ran it on recirculate and it smelled just…

My Dad was drafted for the Vietnam War. He was beat up really badly by another draftee in boot camp and ended up wirh a broken leg. Everyone else was shipped off to Vietnam and he ended up guarding bombs in Germany and smoking a lot of hash.

They don’t pay attention anyway.

200 hp in a car that small sounds funtastic
