Here. I’ll help everyone out....because I love you

That’s not really the Ferrari ownership experience.  When your Ferrari burns down, people feel bad about it.

I mean, these motors are small. There’s no reason you need only have one.

In theory, yes. In practice, the energy density of batteries is far too low to make that practical. Using the Volvo S90 as an example (because it has a plugin-electric and gas version so we don’t have to guess at efficiencies), with a leaf battery pack as a baseline (since they’re the only ones readily available) we…

I’m sorry, but that story has moved beyond rubber dick territory. It has moved on to either the broken beer bottle or the rusty chainsaw levels.

When I picked up the car, I did note that the license plate did not match the contract. As I was a corporate customer, I never saw the desk. It just went to my app, here’s your car, red Camry, license plate blah-blah.

I even ASKED at the exit, hey, do I have the right car? Plate doesn’t match my contract. They assured…

I love the idea of an electric crate engine program, but the motor was never the tricky bit

“Those are decent figures and Ford’s Chief Product Platform and Operations Officer, Hau Thai-Tang, noted the output is higher than what was available on the Fox body Mustang.”

He’s not wrong though. Ford is tossing you the easiest part of the whole deal, leaving you to figure out the most difficult part.

Also, the whole fucking point of a “crate engine” is the easy route...

Adding to my comment: Hey Ford! Do you have schematics or vendors to mention so I can get the parts to go with it. Yes. Am lazy, so you are by dumping a technology and then say, here you are, dont’t say we didn’t do anything for SEMA.

Some companies have the license plate number in the printed up paperwork they give you with the keys.  Budget and Hertz does that.  It's one of the things you should check when doing the initial inspection of the rental.

Avis blows balls.

They once rented me a Camry that THEY had switched out the license plates with another vehicle. As the story goes, the Camry had its license plates stolen, but they had just sold a Ford Expedition that they still had the plates for. So, they threw the plates from the Expedition onto the Camry, and…

Currently have 2. 1989 ciera sedan and 1988 ciera XC coupe. The sedans are tough as nails, get better mileage than the wife's crossover, and parts are insanely cheap. Love the stupid things.

It was all over when they went to using a common engine across all brands. When Olds was still Olds they were all that and a bag of chips.

Day’s not over...

What’s the point of a smaller unibody pickup if it’s barely any cheaper to gas up?

Well, you know, let’s not chastise Pebble Beach judges too much when most of the US (and the world) venerates the moon landing as one of the greatest achievements of the XX century. It mostly happened thanks to nazi party member 185,068...

Practically the entire 1920s Italian artistic scene – certainly the architectural realm – is inextricably linked to the Mussolini administration. Partisan artists did eventually leave their own mark, but Futurism is brutally tied up in the politics of the day. I’ve never heard of a museum, academy, or curator casting…

The Subaru SVX was my first thought. Good choice.

Go with Mercedes’ suggestion, but repaint it to look like the Acrostar from Octopussy
