Reliable does not equal easy and cheap to fix.

True, but a replacement transmission is also less than a set of new tires for a 911 so...

I’ve read that before, which is why it’s confusing to me that a sudden load of +1 ton at max speed on the rear wheels could easily be sustained.

So if the driver where to not threshold brake at top speed, how much beyond the set rating limit could these tires go? Would love someone in the know to try their hand at some maths.

What happened to that Tesla tease about swapping batteries instead of charging?

From what I understand, part of the reason why we can’t get a top speed record from a lot of these cars is the speed rating limit on the tires. How then can they hold up to an extra ton of downforce at their limit of their rating? Does the rating take this into consideration or are they just that conservative?

The buyer paid the seller that much or the seller paid the buyer, because you’d very likely have to pay me around that much to drive a 5 year old Cadillac around, don’t care what engine you put in it.

Might have something to do with the fact that they designed all their cars knowing their target market is either budget rental use or people dumb enough that they’d spend $80k on a Jeep in the first place.

Is the ability to say your car still has a manual (and a Porsche one at that) really worth the weight penalty?

They manage to keep it together in part thanks to this little thing called suspension travel, but hey, all you ricer stance kids keep on lowering your econoboxes.

You know, it’s not so much the Group B cars themselves I love, as it is the idea that at one point, the automotive world locked a bunch of engineers in a room with little to no restrictions and let them have at it. That said, 10 out of 10 would hoon.

Forget if this car is worth $40k, just thinking about the cars I can have instead of this for the same price makes me think you’d really have to be fairly mentally unstable to go for this listing.

Fled the scene of an accident, ran red lights, stop signs, but dammit if he wasn’t using his blinkers.

$86k for a Jeep? Hope that comes with a bridge for sale too.

$400,000 to lease only (initially) a car with the same badge as the rebranded Toyota ricer down the street from me with fart can exhaust and purple headlights and you’re telling me they didn’t sell out immediately? I can’t imagine why.

Know what seems totally safe? A large group of people in flammable clothes, without any fire suppression systems, gathering around a recently crashed and flipped car that’s full of highly combustible liquid. Sign me up.

Typo in a post pointing out a typo. Irony.

Sounds like she probably wasn’t all that fit

Maybe, oh I don’t know, get an actual job and don’t depend on “donations” from people watching you play some game online for your livelihood? Just a thought.

I honestly don’t understand who exactly is turning down a BMW / Audi / Mercedes / (even) Lexus to go buy a Hyundai.
