Neutral: If now includes over the next year or so, I’d go with a Rivian. If forced to buy one today, chaulk me up for a Polestar 2. I saw one the other day and it looks pretty sweet. It don’t look nearly as tall as is does in photos, and judging by the way it was being driven it looks fun too.

Rivian is being run by grownups, but your point is well made.

They guy who was the lead engineer for the model S is behind Lucid, so I expect it to be good.

They are currently working on an SUV and since making an SUV is more than merely putting a lift kit on a sedan, aerodynamics will suffer.

Sugar makes for an effective octane booster.

I myself am considering giving my aging Q5 TDI the safari treatment but would want to upgrade the open diffs to something that at least is an LSD.

And once again, vaporware dissolves back into the aether from whence it came.

We also upgraded the internals of the K04s (better bearings and different impellers), new intercoolers, cut open the intake manifold and removed the velocity stacks inside (that alone added 60 lb/ft of torque), re-profiled the cams, port/polished the heads, bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump, etc etc etc. An RS4 was…

Ironically, mine was very reliable despite modifying it to over 400hp at the wheels. That being said I think regardless of whatever Audi had to cover in warranty costs, the S4 did put Audi on the map for performance in the US. I know there was some 80's rally legends, and Europe had RS2, the but by the end of the…

Ironically, replacing the headlights is one of the easier things to do with that car.

I have felt your pain (2x owner myself).

Well with Land Rover, it’s when the leak stops you should be worried.

involves cutting a giant hole in the hull.

I have to imagine they only sided with him to begin with so as to take the heat off for closing their Lordstown, Ohio factory.

I once got behind the wheel of a 996 GT2 that had been heavily modified. It had enough power that it was trying to break loose in 3rd gear. A terrifying amount of power.

Newton would definitely shit his pants first. As the definer of the laws of motion, Newton’s understanding of the inertial forces involved in an object moving at speed would make it abundantly clear just how close to death every car ride can be. Sure, he dabbled in the idea of an automobile but, traveling at highway…

Hmm. Good point. Maybe thats why the Mongolia special was decent. It was really just the 3 of them in isolation.

Vague racism and imperialistic tendencies aren’t the author’s complaint about the show though, aren’t they.

It’s actually worse than that because 95% of commercial H2 is sourced from the steam reformation of fossil fuels.
