I still think there is some actual tech at Nickola and so the company should survive in the near term. Whether or not Trevor Milton committed fraud, or if the tech worked when it was unveiled or not, I have to believe GM sent an engineer down to look at what they have before making their recent big investment. How els…

When I buy a new car I typically keep it for 10 years. $3000 is a lot to pay for fancy cruise control.

You mean the bump shift thing? I was referring to a real manual with a third pedal.

Not only that but there are a couple companies working on it already, with the added benefit that the trailers also have their own driven wheels so they benefit any type of vehicle that tows them.

This actually exists.

This already exists. It is currently in development for a camper trailer by a company called OZX Corp, and I believe Airstream is working on a version too.

And not even an accurate rendering.

In my neighborhood there is a Morgan 3-wheeler, a Polaris Slingshot, and a Vanderhall running around driven by locals, and I have to admit, I really like the Vanderhall. I know it doesn’t have a manual, and it’s fwd (although in a 3 wheeler this is probably a better setup), but it looks great, is properly quick and…

Missed the part about needing it to be reliable, eh?

Why is no one recommending a GTI, Focus ST or Fiesta ST?

He said he wants something that DOESN’T drive like a truck.

I bet those guy-wires were put there by antifa commandos specifically to catch red-blooded patriotic American drunk drivers.

I don’t see a Subaru, handlebar mustache or an old retro-style bicycle. Are you sure this is Portland?

Clean and rare does not always equal valuable.

Sure it does. Maybe not on rails but...

(introductory APR for first 2 years. APR for remaining term is 12%. Conditions apply. Offer not good in Tennessee, Hawaii and Alaska. See your local Ford dealer for details.)

I imagine this kind of investment is inevitable for every car dealer regardless of brand. EVs are eventually coming to everyone.

Neutral: An EV F150 will look like a normal one save for a few stying touches on the to differentiate it from the ICE stablemates (they are going after truck traditionalists after all). Also the grille will be designed to open so as to allow access to the frunk without opening the hood (or at least easier access than…

Yeah, I don’t buy that either. 37 mpg is approaching Geo Metro figures. Even a CRX could barely touch that. No way in hell is a Fiero getting that kind of MPG without hypermiling shenanigans (or bad math).

Practical...
