It’ll have something the Tesla doesn’t have. Build quality.

Russia needs a way to pay for its space program when the U.S. resumes manned rocket launches.

Twin Turbo Corvette?

Counterpoint: this is not a boomer car. Not a “classic” car. This car will rise in value when the later generations start wanting them because it’s from their childhoods.

IIRC, it was around $70K new, maybe a bit more.

Nice Price.

Ford put a 123hp, 1.0L 3cyl Ecoboost into the Focus and hardly anybody bought it.

Although I suppose this might not be as exciting to the car manufacturers, I think the real money would be in selling sounds to the car owners. I imagine quite a few people would like the scream of the TIE Fighter or woosh of the Enterprise.

Low interest loans and grants and tax cuts to black women starting/ have small businesses. I watched my aunt sell every nice thing she had to start hers. She took a pay cut to make sure her lowest paid employee was $15 an hour. Today she employs 25 people 85% women.

“I’ll be real and say I thought 2017 was largely a disappointing year for new cars. (I mean, everything else too, but we’ll stick to cars here.) A lot of good stuff got killed off. Everything in the pipeline seems to be an autonomous minivan. The auto industry now cares more about figuring out how it will compete with…

With computers, advancements were relatively easy compared to the thermodynamic limitations with renewables and batteries. The advancements needed to see the breakthroughs every one is talking about and really advance are way, way out of sight.

No. For a Ponzi scheme, there has to be someone paying the interest on older participants’ investments with the deposits made by more recent investors.

Go ahead and mock imaginary investments all you want. Last December I invested 10 grand in thoughts and prayers when they were trading for $3.78 a share. Soon after the Vegas and Texas shootings demand hit a premium and I sold at $22,000 a share and cleared a cool $58 million.

If Ford wants to be considered competitive with Subaru then yes, it needs AWD.

I see your point, but no. The Falcon is a large multi-crew transport, while the P-38 is a single-seater designed for any role requiring high and fast. If there’s a WW-II counterpart to the plucky, do-it-all Falcon it would be the de Havilland Mosquito.

You need some bigger tires. Can’t imagine it’s fun trying to get traction on that!

“An apples to oranges comparison, but explain to me how a new Chevrolet Tahoe is worth $50-60k+?”

This just makes me think how I wish Factory 5 would make a Pantera/Mangusta/Vallelunga kit. Any one of those would be awesome.

I still believe that one of the big reasons myself and siblings grew up as responsible adults is because mom made us come to the dinner table and have a family meal. Talking it out over food is the best.

Something tells me they were aware of the situation.
