That’s called rallycross and they race hatchbacks.  Since crossovers are just lifted hatches, these racing iPaces were probably more hatchback than crossover anyway, since they were lowered for racing.

The only reason jag made these things was to break into the chinese market and they managed to do that right when China started winding down the big rebates on electric cars.

a season could cost as much as $920,000 for a single car,

Craftsman is still decent but it’s difficult to justify the price when you don’t get that no-questions-asked lifetime warranty anymore.

9. You can never have too many free flashlights or voltmeters (best used on 12V and under circuits, please).

Sears selling off Craftsman was the big sign they were declining, because that was one of the major reasons people had loyalty to the chain.  Once the whole ‘lifetime warranty’ thing went out the window, spending all of that money on the good tools suddenly stopped making sense and buying cheap ones for limited use…

I absolutely agree, we need these hardware stores and a lot of them are getting put out of business because they’ve been complacent for years (and sometimes gutted by hedge funds that load them with debt, but I digress). HF jumped in and started offering the cheaper, lower quality chinese tools that were essentially…

HF: great for things that can’t kill you.

We mostly got them as Pontiacs, but for some reason they decided to make otherwise good looking Holdens into hideous Pontiacs before killing off the program after the financial crash.

The Corvair wasn’t any more dangerous than other cars, the reason why Nader focused on it (in one chapter of his book) was because it was such a clear example of a tiny added expense being nixed for accounting reasons and the need to have safety regulations to deal with situations like that.

Amazingly, it turns out that doing things on purpose instead of just flailing and refusing to listen to advice leads to good results.

I just got an email on a ‘91 Toyota Soarer (the prettier JDM version of the SC400), all original, $12k.  This is a crazy rare car, but only worth this much scratch to the more obsessive fans.

I mean, with any BMW you’re paying for the badge.

I don’t know that it’s evidence of anything, and I’d tend to agree with you if it weren’t for his long, weird recent history of just telling people who should be his base not to vote for him if they don’t agree with everything he stands for.

This seems most likely to me, he doesn’t need to race for money and taking some time off won’t hurt his prospects in the future.

LMDh/DPh is the replacement for LMP1 with a few companies doing the hypercar thing which is technically sort of the same class, ish? Balance of power rules even them up but hypercar is massively more expensive.

I miss 90s car colors so much.

Milkshakes petered out because of the open physical threats to anyone attempting it. Which would definitely happen with the pies now too.

This describes pretty much every car business.

or you move and they can’t find you *cough james may cough*
