I live in an area where by far the most common vehicle on the road is a Suburu Outback or similar because it is legitimately the perfect vehicle for winding, high-wind, snowy mountain roads. They’re just billy goats. And seeing them with 250K+ on the odometer is very common around here. 

That S660 looks like it would be a fun little car, but 63HP and 73 ft/lb of torque? Yeeesh. That’s just too little for even such a tiny little lightweight. I don’t know what the 0-60 is on one of those, but it’s probably irrelevant. 

I know, right?! Make that one crease straight and suddenly the car is 100% better-looking. 

Don’t most EVs use aero wheels\wheel covers that pretty much hide the calipers?

Agreed. Jeeps are supposed to be the plucky, happy-go-lucky doofuses of the automotive world, not angry little gremlins. Jeeps have historically been too underpowered to give off “bad ass” vibes. 

I wanna be you. 

It’s like a guitar had sex with a harp. 

If a car is collecting data on me to be sold to other companies....I don’t want it. 

From the factory those things hood seem to be at my eye line (I am only 5'9", so maybe the problem is me), which is fucking crazy.

I’ll flash my lights at people thinking for sure their high beams are on. Nope.

I find your lack of undercarriage shots disturbing. 

The physical transformation of this guy and his spouse from the beginning of the video to the current day is...well, I don’t know what the correct word would be. Never go full gravy seals, my dude. 

I had this car but with only 300hp and, shockingly, it was no slouch. Also it was bar none, the greatest kid-hauler I’ve ever owned. I drove one from NC to OR and got out without a single aching muscle or twinge. With the paddle shifters you could drop a gear or two before initiating a pass, which helped immensely in

Strange factoid: This was originally going to be a Roman Polanski film and while he was out scouting locations for it, his wife was killed by the Manson family and he ended up abandoning the film. 

I’m from Texas and I’ve done roofing work in the summer. Dying would be welcome. 

The one thing I note here is the total lack of shaded overhangs on the streets, even before he commented on it. And then Culdesac itself was made up almost entirely of mass-y materials that are going to hold that daytime heat and radiate it back out into the environs for a long time after the sun sets. 

In the military, there were times you were only allowed to work 10 minutes out of an hour “exposed”. The remainder of the time had to be in a more climate controlled location, like a shaded hanger or something.

Nice tip. 

So just a normal street in say, Detroit?
