That dented Ferrari has 236,000 miles on it. Former track car and now/was a concours winning car. It is an 1984 308 GTS QV.

Brought my ‘89 MR2 Supercharged and an 80s Miami Vice look that prompted more than one person to ask, kiddingly, for drugs.  Successful and fun day.

Here was my contribution to Radwood last weekend: 1985 Saab 900S 8-valve, Notchback restoration. A rare Saab bodystyle in the US. Not bad for a car with 340K miles under its belt. All works, including AC and 30 year old OEM Saab/Thule roof rack! I had a great time at Radwood.  Go there if you have the chance.

Links arent working either. Its a ‘79 Spirit AMX. Look it up yourself lol. 

Hey people, we just realized how misleading our use of the term Autopilot is. What should we do about it?

Seems solid? Really? It almost crashed the car like 3 or 4 times - that’s not that solid IMO.

You do realize that it is largely still our government “forking over the big bucks”, right? I mean, who do you think is the largest source of funding for SpaceX? 

Also funny because I read a Musk worshipping article the other day talking about how he has a “hire no assholes” policy at Tesla, and how he is so good at reading candidates to make sure they hire straight forward down to earth employees. And I was like - really? REALLY? (also not my experience from interviewing there…

I can’t decide whether I like this deposition more or Lil Wayne’s.

$30k? Which Tesla is available today new for $30k?

Use the acceleration lane (on-ramp) to accelerate!

I don’t know how many accidents I’ve almost seen because someone is trying to merge into traffic on a highway at 20mph below the speed limit.

Clearly not a man to let the lawyer he hired tell him what to do on the witness stand. If I didn’t think the guy was insufferable before, Jesus Christ. Trying to pull the “I’m saving the world what are you doing” act in open court like that’s some sort of “get out of jail free" card. Listen to your counsel and shut…

What really gets me is when you see someone in a newer and/or nicer car that you know has really great bluetooth connectivity holding their phone up to their ear or using the speakerphone while driving. Hell, even a Versa has bluetooth connectivity standard on the $15K base trim these days.

Congrats to Mr. Musk, I did not believe it was possible for him to break his own “being an insufferable douche” record, but this deposition shows that he still has space to grow.

Cult of pedoguy will back him no matter what.

Smartphone use.

The serviceability isn’t designed for the end user. The battery EV is designed as a disposable vehicle for the end user. The battery packs are certainly not intended for the independent mechanic to work on and possibly not even the dealerships. The serviceability is for the manufacturer. Why? Because governments are…

It’s interesting because what we see here in Norway is that less than 10 yo Leaf and iMiev are getting discarded of because of minor issues with the battery system. You got charger and plug issues, which are easy to fix, but extremely costly at a shop (60-90% of vehicle value), and battery issues, which also turn into…

Counterpoint: Have you ever tried to find an intermittent electrical gremlin in a system with lots of cable and wire connections?
