Is that so? how about a link from this site? show me one article that dishing out that hate anywhere near as bad as the half dozen articles than have been written panning tela/musk.

Welding/stamping robots need to be babysat pretty much constantly. It’s also surprisingly difficult/expensive to program them to know when they’ve fucked up. They’re like a smallchild/puppy once you create a safety system for one derp, they just ago head and find another you couldn’t have in your wildest dreams…

Other attempts? his bit about the 13 amendment was about how it makes slavery legal for prisoners so in effect continues to allow slavery. and since disproportionate about of prisoners are black, it creates and incentive to lock black people up. This is something that’s been going on since the amendment passed was a…

That’s it.

No stick. 

Yeah I totally agree.  But just because I and Torch see it that way doesn’t mean I can expect anyone else will. for those who view cars in similar vein as a toastmaster or mister coffee not having to bend over and feel your front butt sliding towards your genitals as you load your children is going to be a closer in…

I’ve said it before on this site crossovers can be explained very simply with two points: 1.they allow the loading of children into car seats without having to over (as much) the same is true of groceries if you have child in hand. even without children you get a clear view of the load-space without having to hunch.

Meh, I contend that the compact executive cars from Audi/BMW/Mercedes/Lexus/Infinity are the modern Toyota camry. They are all equally dull have none of the cachet they used to (how can they when everyone and their nan has one) and mainly used a vehicle for people pretending they are wealthier than they are, when in a…

I’m a big P80 fan and I’m not sure I agree with you. I’ve driven RWD and FWD volvos fast. And in my opinion the 850 a fantastically underrated car and actually more fun to drive near the limit, especially in the snow, than any of the RWD drive models.

I bet that truck was written off.

Actually, In true GM fashion they were one of the first the posit the idea of a hot-V engine in road going cars. (like just about every IC engine gadget hot-vs were originally used in aircraft) GM spent a bunch on development and cut the program just as the engine was nearing production.

I read some interviews with them and they figured they wouldn’t make their money back for a long time, if ever.

Sure, why not? No supercharger. Heavier. No cam belts .Engines that don’t date from the Reagan era. Easy to work on. Cheap pearts

We fully expected more tariffs (and if you haven’t noticed, it helped motivate more companies to build factories HERE and purchase from local suppliers to keep costs down so far)

“This is discrimination by political affiliation” Is that a Joke? You guys need to be the victim don’t you? What did you think was going to happen when trump started slapping tariffs on other countries? that they were just going to take it laying down? 

What us Jalops think of wagons:

Why? Swapping V8s in to Porsches, specically into cheap to buy (through the 80s/90s) 914/912 is a great america tradition dating back to 1967 when Dennis Aase Swapped V8 into a theft recovery 912. I have a copy of the road and track article from 67 couldn’t find it on the internet. Maybe I’ll scan and upload it. In…

4/5 Cars mentioned were more a product of Chrysler’s partnership with Mitsubishi.

The borg-warner 35 would like a word with you.

The funny thing is ford has been selling it in europe with wet clutches without issues. What do they do for the american market? “re-engineer” it with dry clutches as a “cost saving” measure only to have the new version cost them millions in warranty issues.
