This is a bad take. Just because you think your car is a special little butterfly your bad take applies to everything from busted bro-trucks to 2Fast2F’d up ricers. Get your shit fixed in a reasonable time or make it look like it’s fixed. 3rd gen Camaros on blocks are a just the gateway to a meth problem.

Are these sponsored? Seems like there have been a few of these glowing Infiniti totally-not-an-advertorial articles going up the past week.

One thing this doesn’t take into account is the model mix those sales represent. Are they selling 100,000 Cruze econo specs or Suburban LTXTZ-SE’s? Revenue and profits are the keys here, not cars sold.

How about a swap from a new CTR? 300hp is probably enough for a bit and it'd be lighter...

Plans don’t get awarded “mostest” trophies. Actual buildings do. Quit falling for the renderings and giving out the awards on the first lap of the race.

Not the biggest. Perhaps planned to be the biggest. As it stands several North American auto plants are bigger by double or more. Once (if) they get it finished they can claim the title.

I believe he’s just comparing Tesla vs Daimler EV trucks. Tesla may have a 10% price edge since they make their own batteries but Daimler will have a familiar, established product that will sooth the concerns of fleet operators regarding running costs.

What were the actual negatives of the bike? Was the suspension tuning any good? Did it load up or dive or wallow? How was the brake feel? Were the riding modes easy to switch through? Was the fueling decent down low? How was the gearing?

Maybe I’m just shitty with my money but saving 25% of net seems really high. With my contribution and what my company kicks in I’ve got 17% of my gross going into my 401k and I don’t really have any savings besides a modest rainy day fund for a blown furnace or something.

Thermal management for a 3.5 gasser shouldn’t be a problem when the same truck accommodates a 6.7L and seems to cool it just fine.

You do know that JD has a free app for reading codes that gives you plain English explainations for everything right?

At what point is it reasonable to retrofit them with a cheap gasoline engine just to get the back on the road with even a sliver of value remaining?

“Motorized Doping” is still a super dumb misleading name. They are not doping themselves with motors. There are no motorized syringes in play here. This is just cheating, with motorized bicycles.

Teams have to submit data for several metrics that give the organizers a fairly clear picture of whats going on. Engine RPM, Throttle position, boost pressure, gear position, and so on.

This is a great comment and I think we just became best friends.

Problem is for $62k this thing isn’t competing with F-150s. It’s competing with F-250's which aren’t any bigger yet mop the floor with this thing when it comes time to measure tools.

Didn't say they weren't available, just that they aren't being adopted yet.

Difference being Chevy has already amortized those vans and the euro vans aren't currently being used for cutaways.

Will it though? Who says Chevy won’t just use a different alloy or bump the thickness up or support it better? Or who says they even use AL at all for the bed. Maybe they try the SMC experiment again like they did back in ‘01 with the Pro-Tec beds. They were 50lbs lighter than the standard bed and had great toughness.…

Yeah but not through near the terrain that the trophy trucks are.
