The Cybertruck makes the Cybertruck look like an angular silver turd. 

An Engineer (me): Yeah, yeah 335/316mph, uh huh, uh huh, ok...what about the tires, did they use specially engineered compounds...I’m assuming they just didn’t use an off the shelf street tire and crossed fingers...maybe talked to Bugatti’s supplier, etc...I NEED to know.  It tends to be the least appreciated aspect…

Well, this is sad. Andrew is a good Jalop. I wish him the absolute best—does anyone know where else he might be writing now, if anywhere?

because men are very, very fragile snowflakes in this country, that is why. I agree w/you.. 

Don’t let it stop you though, they’re amazing cars. That engine/trans pulls those big GMC motorhomes too, so you know it’s got some strength. 

The Eldo has no driveshaft! The Eldo, Riv and Toronado are my favorite GM designs, but they’re this weird trans-diff design where a big chain driven from the torque converter allows the trans-diff to sit under the big V8 and drive the front wheels. It’s not impossible to chop floor of one of these large beasts out to…

Don’t be thinking small. Think BIG. Think Continental. Think New Yorker. Think Delta 88. Tbink about all those smooth-riding malaise-yachts with 150 horsepower lumps. Imagine doubling or tripling the power of one of those things and gliding along in silent splendor...

Woah buddy, you do have too many. I’ll take one off your hands.

This looks good, but it also looks like the Aviator and Velar, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Excellent rejoinder!

You ever get the feeling that the thing that actually sinks these EV startups is that they are trying way to hard to hit an unrealistic standard? Like, they all want to come out and be the best most luxurious EV with all the best technology that’s barely even finished being invented. Then they get ripped to shreds…

Googled XB trucks and found this cool little thing.

Hey guys,

I agree generally with what you’re saying. I just think this is going to compete better at the “top end F150” price point (what is that these days? 85k?), than at the 100-105k price point. 

nauthiz provides a good answer for this, but I’ll expand on the second point - that of money.

The two main reasons are A: General disagreements that prevent us from having a global agreement on just about anything.

The car is perfect the the purpose it serves. Powerful enough, handsome enough, big enough and cheap enough.

You must have been riding in one seriously clapped out old one. Because I have them for rentals all the time in 300S form (and the occasional Limited, sad it’s going away), and I think they are pretty great. Nice enough, quick enough, quiet and comfortable, and they go down the road much like the old Mercedes they are…

You think racecar mowers are a red flag?  Just wait until she sees the shirt.
