I’ve been hearing horror stories about the new LT-based V8s in the new Suburbans/Tahoes, so maybe they were nervous about that and switched to something even less known for reliability?

What’s more wild is that this CEO is getting $39M for his “efforts”, but Musk is trying to get more than 1000x that much ($56B).  *THAT* is beyond insane.  How many countries have a GDP less than that?  Wikipedia says that would put him at roughly #88...right about Uganda.

I have absolutely zero sympathy for these idiots and I’m frankly amazed with how calm the officers were able to remain in that situation.

...where’s my checkbook?

Agreed.  He also thought that people would spend unending amounts of money on his cars, and look how that is panning out now. Remember when he said that his cars would be worth *more* as they aged because of software updates and autonomy? What happened to all that?

That one up top is important though.

First car - 1987 VVW Jetta (this was in 1995). Suddenly, it just wouldn’t start. Would crank and crank, but nothing else. With help from my dad, who had plenty of experience with pushrod-based engines from the 50s-70s, we set to diagnosing. Wasn’t getting spark. Put a new cap, rotor, plugs, wires on it, because why…

Please elaborate on this - I just want to know what’s the scoop on the 1.5T (I don’t have one, just curious).

I think this article also misses something important - some people LIKE the simple way cars used to be, which is why stuff in the 10-20 year age is just about perfect.  It’s new enough to not feel prehistoric, but it’s not slathered with useless obnoxious tech that most people truly don’t need/want (like huge screens)…

Agree - the LC 500 is a more cohesive looking car for a fraction of the price...just needs V10:

In my mind, $10,500 is worth of a lowish-miles 240 Turbo...not this.

Somebody spent all that trouble on a ‘55 when everyone agrees the ‘57 is the better looking car?!  Sheesh.

To me, the “miss” here is that they are making this into a “race car” in the first place.  They should just focus on keeping it clean and classy, with updated electronics and the Ford-derived V12 from the Aston catalogue.  Give it a 6-speed as standard with a J-gate connected to a ZF 8HP as an option.  Finish it off…

I have figured out how to do the running lights on my 2012 Suburban in 5 minutes from the top.  Just take all the bolts out that attach the headlight and bumper to the radiator support.  Then, pull the them away from the radiator support...they will flex enough to allow you to get your arm down in there and do the…

C’mon man, just call it Moby’s Dick and market it as the orgy it really is.

Uhh...125 Euros for an emailed certificate?  Why would I do this?

Seeing as how they just convicted parents of a mass-shooting killer, maybe someone will use that precedent to assign liability to the company that develops this deadly technology.  I’m here for it.

Maybe he should tell his army of employees to stop screwing around with FSD and move forward with redesigning ALL THE CARS because most people don’t want to buy a 2024 that looks like a 2012 (unless it’s a G-wagen, apparently).

Are we really saying this looks *better*? The front end is meh, the back end is booty, and the wheels are straight trash. I’m not seeing what you’re seeing...

Having driven the wheels off of one of these in period (1997/1998) working at a dealership as a porter in Denver, I can assure you that this juice is not worth the squeeze.  These are trash and have always been trash - it’s not a Vanagon.
