Immediate thoughts on the race:

I’m only kidding ...

These are the best I could do with Corel.

The USS Haas (VF-17)

You underestimate K-Mag’s power.

It looks... really good!

That’s a smart looking car.

Saab 9-5. Barely changed for 10 years, lots of parts available, cheap, somewhat a pita to work in unless you have Trump hands but doable, can be tuned to the bejuesus, safe, reliable, did I mention cheap, and are unique.... and this guy could keep the corvette!

Pop off doors should be an option on everything

Except for the fact they consume massive amounts of power over the period of a day. I assume that giant battery pack wouldn’t get much of anything done for the average user. It might work for some lower power or intermittent power applications, but tractors have giant fuel tanks for a reason.

Other than the general distrust of anything new, most of us farmers are about the bottom line. If it’s cheaper to run than a diesel (doubtful) then you’d see it take off pretty quick.

Two trends I consider strange- Doing cars based on first names of people (Kaiser Henry J, Ferrari Enzo Ferrari), and the blind idol-worship of Tesla and equally blind vilification of Edison by people who have done almost no reading on the history in that period.

The Alfa Romeo Stelvio is an otherwise ordinary car with a massive 510 horsepower six cylinder engine. Let us briefly look back at this stately inter-war 6C 1750, also a fairly plain old car, only with an equally brilliant straight six for its time.
