Oh, believe me, I know, I had the pleasure of renting one to drive from Lisbon to Seville. It was just a T5 but it was perhaps the best long distance cruiser I’ve driven (although the infotainment system could use some work). Unfortunately for me I have a 12 year old inner monologue and will always want more power…

Kudos for getting proper use out of your convertible; however, I suspect you are in the minority. 

I suspect the biggest use case is in European (or other old) cities where a lot of businesses and residences exist in pedestrian thoroughfares and on streets too narrow for regular delivery vans.

Too bad you can’t get it with the 400hp T-8 powertrain, or in blue. Otherwise I’d be tempted myself.

Sure, it looks agressive, but so do a lot of cars nowadays. Modern Peugeots are such bores to drive. The looks write a check the drive can’t cash.

It’s a good looking bike, but without the leg-burner pipes, it doesn’t really look like a true scrambler.

Don’t worry, the Type-R will still look like a Gundam reject.

I have to wonder, is Toyota an idiot for taking this long to finally get in on EVs, or are they genius for waiting until we were on the path towards mass adoption?

If Fiat can’t make it work with the 500, a far more charismatic small car than anything Peugeot makes, bringing in tiny unfamiliar yawn boxes won’t work either.

I have a few slip through my fingers but the one I regret most was a Lotus Elite.

If you are referring to Ford’s onboard generator option, that will only put out 2.4 kw. That puts you at level 1 charging which adds well under 10 miles of range per hour. Level 2 charging is about 7.2kw, which you can spec from Ford but only on their hybrid powertrain, which costs a few grand over the ecoboost by…

Hmm, valid point. I never considered it from that perspective. I just saw it from the idea that streaming is a vast improvement over paying many times more for hundreds of terrible channels of mostly ads on cable or satellite to be played through a set top box that I have to rent with an shitty GUI and a cumbersome…

There are lots of reasons to hate Amazon, but why are against streaming in general?

If they are so worried about the transition from asphalt to dir on pit exit, why don’t they put dirt on the end of pit lane so the transition happens while cars are going straight and under a speed limit?

I’m guessing that costs a bit more than the OP’s suggested $500.

It would cost a hell of a lot more than $500 bucks to modify a tow truck to charge an EV. No alternator is beefy enough to generate the kind of current needed for that job, and any generator that could do the job is large enough to be on its own trailer.

F1 seriously needs to join the 21st century and start using lower profile wheel/tire setups like the rest of the racing world.

This price is in line with other examples I am seeing, but those other examples were at least cleaned first.
