Nope. Never again. I’d spend my $17k on something that I’d feel better about lasting a while. I know first hand that the MK5 is not reliable, and the MK6 is just not different enough. ND

That might be the most Air Canada thing Air Canada has done in years. 

Keep the blinders on man! At this point, you’d have to try really hard to avoid seeing white papers on the efficiency differences between ICE and EV.

Reading this 4 hours before getting on an airplane wasn’t the best. So, I checked what plane I’ll be on.

Battery swap station? What the heck was that guy thinking? Tesla gave up on that one a decade ago. But the “investigative journalist” wrote about it in ‘22? Kinda seems like the dude went looking for a negative article, and didn’t realize how easy it is to do that with ‘ole Elon just based on current events.

I salute you for wintering an X 1/9.

This all sounds like a fancy way of saying “you’ll need roommates to afford rent.”

Have to admit - while the 850R is still the car that I’d love to own, there’s a big part of me that would have loved to see a widebody Hellcat Magnum.

The Mustang II is a cool car. A Mustang II that’s left its malaise era “efficiency” behind is a very cool car.  Under $10k?  Yeah, I’m in.  I doubt anyone could build this car to this point for less.  NP.

...and the Pinto was developed because?

or even a crossover

Winner.

This is a pretty easy NP.

I actually don’t think this is better. That front end is even more generic now, and since very little has changed after of the A-pillar, it kinda looks weird to my eye from the side.

That actually kind of surprises me.  I see lots of Bronco Sports, and when I do think I see a new Escape, it turns out it’s a Honda.

I don’t think it’s different enough.  I’d be shocked if nearly every Edge buyer didn’t strongly consider an Explorer.

The ideal situation for buying a car is still paying in cash and in full.

$2k is a great project price.  I’m in.  NP.
