I know those stupid 6 lug wheels anywhere

Not just any CTS, but a CTS-V!

You're thinking of the bronco sport. 

There is a meth brand called “life”, now?

The ability to open/close the top at neighborhood driving speeds alone is worth having a power top.

I’d characterize it as an undercurrent rather than a fad.

Your comment about the GT350 is massively ignorant. Just because it didn’t inspire YOUR generation doesn’t mean it wasn’t just as significant. And no I’m not part of the GT350 generation. People get older, generations move on, eventually people will wonder why the fuck someone spent so much money on a GTR in the same…

The tech and the fact that it spawned a whole new generation of gearheads makes it more significant than a gt350. That is just another mustang. The GTR is a special model that was and will never be duplicated. It came from a bubble era that defined what a super car jdm would be.

This is going to go for stupid money.

If you start the truck and drive over the guy (once) then you probably have a pretty solid defense you didn’t know anyone was there.

$75B in 5-years really does seem as all-in as a company can get.

Brent Peltomaa valued that cat more than he valued his life.
Michael Campbell valued punishing a thief more than he valued his freedom.
They were all in love with dying. They were drinking from a fountain
that was pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain.

If electric cars are to be a thing, then every Developed Nation is going to need a strategic battery construction facility. It is just how it is.

Here are some Broncos undergoing what appeared to be some sort of electrical systems test.

It’s one of those things that always gets overlooked, but holy shit does it look hard to build a car. From design to manufacturing, everything is complicated. Like, some dude (more likely a team) had to design, test, and build a machine to deliver a seat at exactly there right time to exactly the right place, and it…

SAAB tried that:

It’s a litmus test if you’re a Musk cult member: if you think this is a good idea, you are one.

And if you’re going to be ridiculous, go with a center control stick like a WW2 fighter, not something that could have come off a fucking Cessna.

Ehh. 700lbs heavier than a contemporary Miata. But with two extra cylinders, nearly double the power, nicer materials, quieter ride.

In a conventional use there’s roughly a 3:1 reduction from input to output, but that means the differential spider is turning at the same rate as the axles. But if one output is held fixed then the 3:1 is still the reduction to the spider, but now the one axle sees that multiplied by 2:1 via the gears across the…
