I love WRC. The locale’s are beautiful, TV coverage is great, the cars are cool and the action pretty thrilling.

Pretty good written version.

“BrrrrrrrGUGUGUGUG-klonk-wshhhhhhhaaaaaawwwww-awwwwww-eeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrr-neeooooooooooooowwwwwm-SHOOWOOOWOO.”

I’ll save the outrage. For the sake of my sanity, I’m going to assume those prices for a box suite, for 10-12 people. In that context, the prices are not far off any arena concession.

“the Energy Department’s Automotive Conversion Grant program will receive $50 million to help small and medium-size suppliers convert from manufacturing parts for internal combustion engine vehicles to manufacturing parts for the EV supply chain.”

All good questions and points. I know they’re outsourcing assembly, but not sure how much engineering is purchased. Mazda seems to need help with their EV program, so it couldn’t hurt.

I just checked Fisker Canada, and they’re offering $31K discount (off an $80K MSRP) on new in stock 2023 Oceans, available for delivery in 4 days! Almost 40% discount!

This is where governments need to ensure that AFFORDABLE repair and recycling is built into every new vehicle battery operation.

This look does not elevate the Ferrari brand.

2nd Gear:

I don’t think its too ludicrous. Better it sticks to the asphalt, where owners are most likely to drive them.

Hey, I’d pay to watch fast drying paint, if it meant I could do 2 coats in a morning.

Just checking, did this guy have a job? I’m guessing not, as he was likely living off the land, hunting, gathering etc., Just like his forefathers did... /S

I totally get that.

No mention of exclusivity for M-B vehicles.

You can make any dollar-for-dollar comparison you want. Driving a used Maserati will always be more special than driving a used (or new) Camry. You just have to ask yourself “Do I Feel Lucky?”

“...caution against ever washing the truck in direct sunlight,...”

Ford advertises the 100kWh battery in the Lightning can power a (American) house for 3 days. That 30kWh average seems about right.

Wow, there’s a lot of nastiness in these comments. I thought Jalops were above this mindless trolling.

Labor is surely the largest line item on the balance sheet for any rail operation. You want them to double their cost,... for what? The appearance of a safer operation?
