Dude those gray wheel arches are BAD.

How is it that the Countach graced my bedroom wall for nearly a decade, but I couldn’t literally give less of a shit about this?  Or almost any other supercar/hypercar these days?  Somehow it’s just not interesting anymore.

So how does the Quad 4 compare to the SR20, Honda B-series, and perhaps Toyota/BMW/Ford motors of this vintage?  It seems to me that the B-series has had a far greater impact since the time of their release, no?  This paints the Quad 4 as a pretty impactful engine, but my recollection having lived through that era is…

Does this include Polestar?

You *can* use the fast charging network that Nissan/BMW/VW have built, though.

Nobody talks about insurance, but anecdotally I’ve heard that Tesla insurance is HEFTY.  Likely due to the large costs involved, and the time in a loaner/rental car.

That seems to support my theory. I look at it similar to how a classic car that is never driven eventually needs repairs simply because it’s just sitting around. For people who obsessively only run Volts on electric and almost never use the engine, or the various HVAC items, I think it can cause these parts to wear…

I’m suspicious that some folks that stretch so far between gas engine use may be causing themselves some of their own problems with HVAC and other related minor issues.  I’ve had zero issues with my 2013 Volt.  70k miles on it.  Averaging 80 mpg lifetime.  Plug in every night.

The NISMO Juke is the right answer.

The botched the scale of the wheels from Concept to Prototype...it’s like they handed it to Toyota for a design review.  The Concept’s wheel size gives the car presence.  It’s missing here and can’t be fixed with just a new pair of shoes - the whole fender is too small.

Umm...these are cool, yes, but I just can’t imagine spending that kind of money and just ending up with a basic, 122k mile Civic Si.  It’s in very good shape, but it’s not mint, and it has miles on it too.  I mean, for $6000 maybe it’s interesting.  Maybe I just don’t put this on a pedestal...

True story. I’ve never met a famous person except this ONE TIME in 2002 when I was at the Rock N Roll McDonald’s after a very late night at Excalibur nearby...R. Kelly was there with a small entourage coming in for 4th meal. He was much shorter than I expected.

Dude probably has a superstition that requires him to go before and after each game, wearing the same clothes and seeing the same girl.  Ugh.

Just do like I did and tell them they’re not allowed to use them until they’re 18.  Been working for me and my kids are 12 and 9.

I think it can be easier than this.

Just Do This

NP all day.  I personally would be looking for a Sedan or Coupe, but this could be a lot of fun.  And yes, these cars have known issues, but are relatively easy to keep on the road as long as you know what to expect.

Yes. I have a colleague that recently added a TM3 to his fleet and frankly, after a drive, I wasn’t that amazed. Sure, it’s nicer in some ways than my 6 year old Volt with 70k on the clock. And acceleration is better. But normal driving and highway cruising? It’s exactly the same. In fact, I feel it has a bit more…

Thoughts on Volt?  I paid $17k for my 2013 in 2015 (off lease) and have been averaging 80 mpg over the last 35k miles of ownership.  I think smart hybrid tech is really the sweet spot here....  I’m in Illinois.

I’ve had people actually comment and say “Wow - a column shifter!  I haven’t seen those in AAAAAYYYYYGES”
