Nobody loved them here, so they moved to China, where it's a Buick party.

Personally, I'm beyond caring. I've reached the point where all of the poo flung from both sides of the table just goes in one ear and out the other. My only issue with the Prius is the looks, and living in a Prius-dense area, I've almost gotten used to that. If you want to save the planet, go right ahead, but nothing…
And that's their biggest problem right now. As far as I know, as of right now, no one outside of Fiorano has driven a LaFerrari, despite the fact that its two biggest competitors, both of which were revealed around the same time (in production spec for the Porsche) as the LaFerrari, are already shipping to customers.…
I guess some of it is the older games, too. People with giant angel wings, mutants, dinosaurs, and a host of other weird supernatural enemies all showed up in the originals.
I would love to see another Tomb Raider movie if they kept the young Lara from the 2013 game. While they could make it work without the supernatural, I think that the freaky stuff helps with the payoff. Think about Indiana Jones. What would happen if the Ark was just a box? They open it up, nothing happens, they kill…
At least a black hawk looks pretty. This thing looks ill-planned and hideous in general. Pretty sells war bonds, this thing couldn't sell Girlscout cookies. Like not even Thin-Mints.
I see your point. Why haven't we used this system before? The closest things I can think of that are already in use are quadcopters. If the multi-rotor system was so much better, you'd think we would be using it in more vehicles.
Only, he didn't buy it like this. If he had bought a Baja Bug in this condition and immediately sent it to the shop, I could see why he would get some blowback, but no one expects to total their car. Expanding your skills by working on a project car is one thing, but having to deal with body work, engine,…
There's a difference between having a "rolling restoration" and what happened to Orlove. He totaled his car. It wasn't, "it works, but this leaks and this is rusted out," it was more like, "everything went from fine to busted in two seconds." Right after an accident is not the time to start wrenching on stuff. You're…
I get what you're saying, and have done some work wrenching on friends' beaters for the fun of it and to get experience. However, in this case, I don't think it would be appropriate for anyone in Orlove's position to start wrenching on his car. Last year I rolled my beloved Jeep Wrangler, and, though I have some…
Should we count individual emulators, or just count it as one PC?
This seems too compromised to be worth any extra cost. The rotors look fragile, and the whole thing looks like it's some highschool robotics project. The wheels are too far in to be maneuverable in tight spaces, so I don't see how it has much of an advantage over a helicopter. The article even says that the truck…
Not to mention, the Lusitania was WW1, while the Queens were WW2.
When I bought my Jeep Rubicon in '08, I was actually surprised how modern it was. Power steering, ABS, TPMS, traction control, power windows, touchscreen navigation, and remote start all draw the classic styling into modern comfort. Then looking at a brand new one, they really beefed up the interior accents, ditched…
Headlights are lower and closer together. The two roll hoops behind the driver. Paint job. That's about it.
It's always been more of a top-speed car than a track car. That's not to say that 2gs of cornering won't get you around a track, I just haven't heard journos raving about the handling (of the Agera on which it's based) the way they've been fawning over the P1.
What about the Koenigsegg One:1? It weighs less than the P1 and is much more powerful, while using crazy advanced lightweight active-aero tricks to get 2Gs of lateral grip. That's not the pinnacle of performance?
That seems unethical... False advertising and such. Not to mention the fact that it goes against the purpose of a minivan.
I would hope that the R/T badge would give you a little hint... But yeah, it's not the face-lift I was expecting.
