Honestly, I can’t even get behind it as a crossover. It’s got less ground clearance than a Model 3. But yeah, they should’ve just called it a “Mach-E” and slapped a blue oval on it instead. 

Agreed, I miss my 9-3 Aero. The turbo v6 with the manual transmission was so much fun to drive. Your picture isn’t of fighter jet mode though. In fighter jet mode most of the lights were off except for the speedometer.

Saab for the win. That night mode where only the speedo would stay on was one of the unique things that made those cars so special. 

Gas stations are tied to a mini-mart because they don’t actually profit on gas. They normally have about a 3 cent mark-up per gallon, which doesn’t even cover the cost of keeping the lights on.

I learned to drive stick on a Starion.

Cape Coral - nice and not that expensive. Deals are there if one needs to be in FLAWRIDA LOL - 375k

These compartments are provided with leather bags that can be closed, for storage of small tools.

That might be a safe assumption. They do kinda look like Clydesdales.

I think part of it may also be that people, at least int he US love their small SUVs which tend to be totally gutless when you step on the gas. When we went SUV shopping we tried the Hyundai Tucsan which felt like it had barely any acceleration and ended up with a Kia Sportage which for some reason felt a little…

When Rhode Island is under water, might not be a bad idea. 

Looks like a bathtub with a fedora.

Where can I score some carbon credits?

Icon of the Seas is powered by liquified natural gas (LNG). The ship has six multi-fuel Wärtsilä engines. The engines can be powered with both LNG and distillate fuel. The ship contains other alternative energy features, like the use of fuel cells to produce electricity and fresh water.^[7] Icon of the Seas is the…

I would be curious to see data on carbon impact of a cruise ship versus air travel per person. I’m sure they burn a ton of fuel, but you get to split it between 5000 people versus an airplane that also uses tons of fuel and only splits it between a couple hundred people.

From what I saw of the setup in the Ft Lauderdale area, the tracks run directly through highly developed urban areas. There are buildings mere feet from each side of the right-of-way. This cuts down visibility significantly, and I believe that they don’t sound horns as a courtesy to nearby neighbors. There is good…

Pretty sure the closest I ever came to death was on a three-lane expressway (in my direction, so...six total) approaching a split. I was center lane and the 18-wheeler to my right decided last second he was supposed to be splitting left. Without looking it cut across to the far left lane with me directly even with the…

Fortunately, from what we can see from the mostly uncamouflaged spy shots, the rear end looks significantly less bulbous (like first gen Panorama dumpy as the camo would have you believe).

Not just Mitsubishi, how about Toyota and Honda? Both of them could create a solid niche by taking their subcompact CUVs and making a butched up 2 door on the same platform. I’m certain that plenty of young adults would go for a scaled down Wrangler that wasn’t as punishing to operate as a Jeep.

You’re certainly correct that the biggest issue preventing us from driving at speed are the other cars around us. If only we all went to the same driving school that taught us all how to drive the same way, and if you’re too afraid to drive your car, get off the effing road. At the same time, drive like you’re…

I eventually had the timing chain stretch on mine which made a nice little hole in piston 3 (granted it was full bolt ons but nothing crazy. Got the entire long block replaced via warranty and washed my hands of that car ASAP. The number of different fluids that car took was kind of silly. Engine. Trans. Front diff…
