It is unfair to compare infrastructure in the US (and Canada) to anywhere else in the world. Our system of mass transit was adopted because of the amount of space and relative youth of our cities (anywhere from basically brand-spanking-new to low hundreds of years; rather than high hundreds or thousands of years in…

I think the point is that current systems don’t work perfectly either. In many (if not most) large Chinese cities a light rail system isn’t possible because of street width, traffic density, construction proximity etc. Keep in mind in North America there are both the space and resources to really spread out. Not only…

At least this way the coffee that you get will be palatable.

Depending on where you live this may, or may not be the case. State by state and country by country law can very greatly in concern to automobile purchasing. Also it is very much a high strain/high emotion time when buying. Unless you are very adept at navigating the situation, there is a lot that can go unnoticed.…

Thus is super common practice at dealerships. It is easy to move some numbers, financing/lease rates, term lengths, monthly/bi-weekly/weekly payments etc. to make the numbers look more favorable. It happens all the time, and unethical dealers (and some who insist they are ethical), they are quite good at it. They are…

Not how it works friend.

It most certainly does matter.

The “obvious advantage” he is speaking of is that electric motors develop most of their torque at 1rpm, while an internal combustion engine needs to wind up before that happens. So, yep, the Bolt does have an obvious advantage.

I’d say it is reduced complexity. Less interchangeably, sure, but not as complex as today’s typical setup. It can also lead to longer life of the exhaust system (turbos included), which no customer is going to complain about. And I honestly think that the lifespan of modern engines far surpasses that of engines of a…

If this happens, I’m going to the start writing my eulogy for Ducati. HD has a horrible time with anything that isn’t a HD and they can’t even figure out how to bring in new customers to that brand, how the hell are they going to do it with an Italian manufacturer? They did a hell of a job last time they owned an…

I have. It’s not that exciting. It made me kind of sleepy.

Crack pipe. Even with a supercharger, it probably isn’t any faster than my former 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. My 2008 Grand Caravan also cost less than this and was a decade newer.

Really?! Not so sure you did... I’ll give you the fact that sarcasm is a difficult beast to translate from speech to written words though.

I think you have misunderstood, I said the joke isn’t dead...

Exactly my thoughts, well done.

The horse is never dead if the product comes from a multinational corporation who willfully and knowingly sold you a product that not only didn’t come as advertised, but also broke laws all across the world, all while hoping they wouldn’t get caught, or thought it wasn’t worth their time to actually engineer a product…

Everything you said is pure speculation, you have no clue what Hammond knew and didn’t know. What happened or what didn’t. We can only wait to find out. However I will agree that I’m very happy to hear that Hammond escaped largely unharmed.

So what you are saying is that in a dealership like this their service really is shit?! Great! You are just proving that dealerships are often piss poor at their jobs. It IS the responsibility of the dealership to act cohesively to get the vehicle fixed appropriately, and that ought to reflect. It is not my job to…

Old?!? That was eleven years ago! If you can’t remember that then you probably still have your Internet time monitored by your parents!

Nope, it is a nice looking little car. For my bottom dollar, it is also a much cleaner design than the Sky, despite what others may say.
