As has been pointed out, your “point” is hopelessly naïve and ignores the realities of the world.

If you have a need for laborers, you need to fucking pay them a living wage. Full stop, no exceptions. And if you simultaneously can’t make a profit and can’t pay your employees a living wage, you need to get the fuck out,…

Bullshit. Slow car fast is never fucking fun. People like to say that because they drive something like a Miata, that is NOT fucking slow (in a corner). Want to drive a slow car fast? Try driving a 26' U-haul...its slow to accelerate, slow to turn, slow to stop...there is nothing at all fun about driving that.

This study is heavily flawed (which is another point of peer review - to check the methods used, not just the results). California is one of the states that actually has a heck of a lot of infrastructure built out at work places for charging. I was just talking with a co-worker this weekend and she has charged her car…

I have yet to hear a V6 that sounds good from anyone. It literally grates on my nerves driving a V6.  And that makes it more than some minor dislike - it makes it a deal breaker. No one wants their nerves fried just driving to work in the morning...

I’ve owned two of the vehicles y’all recommended (LJ and LX). The LJ will not fit three dogs unless they’re pretty small or you’re carrying nothing with you. Its also pretty hard to find them in that price range in decent shape.

The LX gets HORRIBLE fuel economy. Lets put that in perspective - I drove the LJ and I’m…

Yeah fuck that shit.  I’m more than happy to pay taxes for roads, but toll roads can go to fucking hell.  

While I absolutely love the idea of a V8 Wrangler, this is a hard nope for me at that price. I’d personally be far more inclined to get a TRX or Raptor. Different kind of off-roading, but you really are getting a heck of a lot more for your money.  Hell for that money you could build a heck of a rig out of the normal…

“ The first buyer that tried to buy the truck couldn’t come up with $2,000 to outbid the production company. $2,000, if they couldn’t match that amount there’s no way they would have been able to restore it and it would have sat for another +15 years.”

Not necessarily. To the production company, it’s literally the…

Holy shit, I didn’t realize how long these things have gotten. ignatiusbradley is right...they are literally as long as a Suburban. They’re longer than my high school land barge Delta 88 was...

If you have to keep repeating “you’re not getting my point”...then maybe take the hint that YOU aren’t getting your point.

As someone with no dog in this fight, you’re losing...badly.  Make better arguments with better evidence.  

A 26' long Penske moving truck with a loaded car trailer.

Put it to you this way - I drove the thing 2000 miles across country and never once passed anything going up a hill. Nothing at all. All those loaded semis with their hazards on that you pass with ease? They passed me with ease. Sometimes running up on me fast…

...you’re clearly not familiar with GM’s most famous special performance editions.

LS6, L88, Z28, ZL1, ZR1, LT1, WS6, W30, W31, etc, etc, etc. RPO codes have denoted the most famous of special edition since at least the 60's. SS could mean anything from a mundane 350 to the 450 HP 454 cid LS6 package. Grand Sportwas…

Yeah, that’s just the computing power aspect.  You’ve also got to have people who know how to use the tools.  Too many fresh-out-of-school engineers don’t have the experience to properly set up simulations and end up with junk results.  Better teams will have better aerodynamicists.  

Yes, you’re wrong. I do CFD as part of my job and its minutes for simulations of things you could do with a hand calc. It’s hours for simulations of things you could do with a series of complex hand calcs. Its days/weeks to do detailed analyses on the types of flow/geometry you see in F1. More runtime means:

Less…

“40% heavier than carbon fiber is still way lighter than aluminum.”

Flexible and 40% heavier? That isn’t a carbon fiber replacement. You use carbon fiber when stiffness and weight is critical. If the primary purpose of a component is impact resistance, you generally don’t want carbon fiber - fiberglass or metals will handle impact better.

And yet, still the world’s fifth largest economy...

Fuck Uber. Fuck Lyft. Fuck these tech bros - pay your employees or stop pretending to run a business.

Dude, it’s 1970 all over again - lighten up! Electrification is inevitable, just like the oil and insurance crush was in the 70's. We’re never going to see cars/trucks like this again.

And 10-14 mpg? Out of a 700 HP truck? My, now gone, 2001 LX470 did the same thing with about 1/4 the power (actually, as in your…

Hate to break it to you, but you’re still 100% dead with the GT350R. The only thing that can hit a Miata and not kill you is another Miata...

~Signed, Miata Daily Driver.

Killing it? Killing everyone’s eyeballs maybe.

I’ve owned a hell of a lot of GM vehicles over the years. Even now, 3 of 5 vehicles in my household are GM. But I personally wouldn’t consider anything they’re building these days. That isn’t to say they’re building junk, but the only segments I’d consider they 1) don’t…
