I’ve loved mid-size trucks. Dakotas because they can do it all primarily (I had to plow small lots but carry a full-size plow blade.) I will say everyone I know that had a Ridgeline loved it. And their second vehicle happened to be a minivan, usually a Sienna AWD or Odyssey. I know a family down the street that…

Aston Martin Cygnet. Would need to remove the floor for Fred Flintstone to fit in.

Considering they were going to canoodle and then split... Makes sense: https://www.motortrend.com/news/canoo-electric-skateboard-platform-hyundai-kia/

So my dreams of an 8-passenger EV for $60k are still on hold. Can I at least get the 6-passenger EV Pickup version while I wait?

I am really curious to see how a box becomes aerodynamic. Can it still have a snorkel though?

How about a well maintained Asian Hybrid that is loaded with leather, heated seats, etc: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/69998aa5-25ed-4a36-b873-7b47d094606c/

Just curious. In this scenario, you would assume your car is charged up and has ~250-300 miles of range and in the future could be used to actually power your home ie Ford Lightning.

Most gas stations have lines for hours which is about the same as Rapid Chargers which usually tend to be up and running, but have…

I once went to purchase a car the minute I got notice of its availability. Completed the online information and everything. Later it is removed without any background and pops up a little bit later showing pending. Yup, they doctored it so someone else got it. I asked them about it, and they still have no response. VIN…

Power Ranger.
Maverick Thriftpower

R2T = Truck

I think the key word is change. Anyone saying jobloss due to the EV transition is shortsighted. It will take more techies to keep these batteries and motors serviceable and on the road safely. They still have brakes and wipers and tires... you know, typical routine maintenance items. And you’ll still have…

I lean the other way. I think the Maverick proves you can have a compact, mid size, and full size truck. Except the Mid-Size could also be unibody and reserve the Full-Size for Ladder Frames. Ford will fix what Honda couldn’t and make a better Ridgeline with the next Ranger.

That is how I see thing evolving. Because…

Eva should pay $22k and pocket the rest. How about a pre-owned 2016 Acura TLX SH-AWD with about 55k miles: https://www.lexusofbrooklyn.com/used/Acura/2016-Acura-TLX-25274db30a0e09716bd5de495158dd7d.htm

I would be very curious to see how many CyberTrucks, F150 Lightnings, & Silverado/Avalache EV would be sold cumulatively by say 2025. If Tesla opens up their Supercharger Network (their major advantage over the other EVs relying on Electrify America, etc.) than I see no moat Tesla has other then its cars and the tech…

If someone complains of Motion Sickness, especially in an EV than Regenerative Braking is the number 1, 2, & 3 cause. Imagine getting of the accelerator and using your handbrakes to immediately slow the car down. That back and forth see-sawing motion is what causes motion sickness.

Easiest thing to do is go to a golf…

I love w201 Mercs. Especially the 2.3-16 and 2.5-16. I even had a 93 190E 2.6 that has an m103 3.0l conversion done. But at $430k, I’m sure a collector will continue to see appreciation. I’ve also owned a 97 NSX that I put almost 100k on and bought it with almost 100k miles. I believe in cars being driven just as much…

2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD for $27.9k: https://www.toyotaonedens.com/inventory/used-2015-toyota-highlander-hybrid-awd-sport-utility-5tddcrfh9fs009361

You can even make them look rugged (skip the A/T tires for MPGs) and get about 30mpg.

I actually had way too much time on my hands and saw that entire video. I thought the FSD Beta handles some congested traffic and things well. The cyclist part really scared the shit out of me. But a part of me still feels pretty impressed with the way it drove. I guess my biggest concern is live testing on public…

This all sounds kind of asinine. Biden is so pro-union, he won’t mention Tesla and actually praises GM for its EV efforts (I think they sold 26 EVs in Q4 2021). Tesla Fans had their feelings hurt and got all emo. Jalopnik hates on an anti-Democrat slant. Coal Rolling Red Country hates Tesla. Many American’s don’t even…

Agreed. And like anything else, they have metrics for everything. Let the warning say you are abusing the normal operating limits and warranty will be void if you continue. I mean Tesla removed the sunroof option because they found less then 0.2% of the time was one even open for those equipped with a sunroof. It just…
