Pipe. That thing probably needs at least $6k worth of work to be a driver, and $15k to be a nice one.

But will the electric motors be air-cooled?

A typical pallet jack has a capacity of around 5,000 lbs. Pretty impressive, considering that’s something that gets pushed around (and stopped) by people. Kinda makes these trucks seem weak.

Really emphasizes the “Fiat” in Fiat Chrysler.

I was actually more excited by the body-colored A pillar, which I was hoping would be another change for the ND2. But then I noticed the ND pictured was an RF, and figured they probably don’t have the black windshield surround. Guess I’ll have to be happy with more power.

BMW E24 M6. I hate German cars on general principle, and this car exhibits many of the reasons why. It was an overpriced status symbol when new. The engines usually can’t make 100,000 miles without a rebuild. They have stupid MacStrut suspension, which doesn’t belong on anything with performance pretensions. They’re…

It’s also our business when bumper heights/ground clearance are so extreme that they present a danger to other motorists in a collision.

I don’t disagree with your general premise here. But let me tell you why I’m considering a pickup anyway.

Fair enough. I’m sure the bubble economy played a pretty big role in Japanese car tech in the ‘90s. However, I also do believe that Japanese cars’ tech in that era spurred other manufacturers to up their own game a bit.

Be even cooler if they called it a Samurai.

Gonna have to disagree that Japanese marques are behind on technology as a generality, although I do recognize that they can be pretty conservative. But at least in the recent past, Japanese cars were often way ahead of German ones. Back in the late-’80s-early-’90s, German cars were typically strut-suspended and used…

As someone who used to daily drive a W123 300D turbo, I can’t say they’re fun cars on the road. They’re slow. Like, infuriatingly slow. Like, make a 1998 Camry feel like, well, a 301-hp 2018 Camry V6 in comparison. The handling isn’t anything special, either. It’s competent, rides OK, but it won’t encourage you to hit…

Aw, I feel sorry for the poor little snek.

I fucking hate 911s, along with pretty much all German cars, so this gets a star.

My thoughts, in order:

I work in marketing/advertising, so I get what you’re saying because people in marketing/advertising always talk about shit like this. But I suspect something else is at work here. ZL1s and Z/28s are car-geek cars, and the people who want them know what the letters and numbers mean. The person who doesn’t know and…

Isn’t the Fiesta based on that same Mazda 2 as the iA?

I’d be interested if it were a 454, but a diesel? Nope.

1st gear: You know, as much as I dream of an America where the roads are free of pollution-spewing, unreliable, overrated Nazi shitboxes, this is not the way I want it to happen. Not because of some turd in the oval office.

I remember when I paid about that much to rent a 1-bdr. apartment. In Austin. It was only like 14 years ago.
