Fun and reliability are not necessarily at odds; you can get a Ford Tempo, which fails horrifically on both counts, or you can get a Miata, because the answer is always Miata.
If you don't have any warning lights on, your warning lights are what's broken. Get them checked immediately.
"A quality car has never existed in the history of cars. There have been stong reliable engines out there, but a true quality car no, it's never happened. All brands included"
Always check your rear view mirror when stopping in these situations.
That's the first thing I do when I stab the pedal.
I think this is one of the rare cases when showing the price tag would work in their favor, though. The vast majority of the viewing audience thinks they've watched an ad for a $150,000 car, and many of those who can actually afford the Ghibli think that they can't at this point.
Worst shop ever.
Unfortunately this happens a lot, people slide into snow banks back end first. The exhaust is plugged / redirected so the flow of gas starts moving towards the front of the car or starts leaking through gaskets. A man was killed in Stamford Connecticut this month for the very reason.
When I was a part of my University's Formula Lightning Team, which preceded Formula Electric in the late 90s/early 2000s. We raced electric cars powered by 31 car batteries. Above is a "battery pit stop" where we swapped them out during a race. There was trouble with the change in the video (which was around 30…
Though they will have to dig a tunnel system under the pit lane for the current Tesla swap system, I say yes. It is the future, so someone will find solutions, and fast ones.
That's usually what those arguments boil down to.
That's not a Wardenclyffe type tower, it's a Dalek homing beacon! You fools!
Exactly. With a car specifically designed for this and possibly some special equipment, they could probably get the time below 30 seconds, if not faster. One battery is in the car while one or two are charging. Battery swaps are the only way to do this without changing cars.
I'd say it was decently fast.
Those are going to be super long pit stops and make for super boring TV, but I am sure if you give it to a bunch of HP junkies they will figure out a faster way of swapping them out at race pace.

Agree the final gen 3800 V6 is one of the best engines from the late '90s. The supercharged version in my Riviera lasted 246k miles until it chipped a piston at 5800 RPM down the back straight at Nelson Ledges (clogged fuel injector = lean condition = knock). Simple rebuild and now 271k miles and counting. Aside from…
