I’ll share with you a snip of my comment on the Hummer:

Thank JESUS this thing is 1000 miles away.

All my CoVid projects are house-related, and therefore not really germane to an automotive blog.

That 318 is a lifetime purchase. They go forever. Dunno about the auto behind it but those Torqueflites aren’t fragile either.

A regular turd rendered poorly.

Minigun, hell.  Mount a railgun.  Muzzle velocities measured in multiples of Mach.

Twice the projected price of a base Cybertruck.  

“Here’s all of it” <picture>

You and I are on a wavelength. There’s some company in UK that is doing exactly that with old E-types, including their conversion is completely reversible - they remove and crate the old drivetrain so you can shelve it and have it reinstalled back into the unaltered chassis. It goes like stink for about 100 miles if I…

My old Toyota pickup.

Dealer showrooms started losing relevance with the advent of classified ads in the newspapers, and the elevation of the independent buyer’s access has inexorably moved further and further to the current top of the heap of democratization of information, the internet.

That was fucking gruesome.

I’m not a big fan of convertibles. In humid, rainy East Tennessee I generally prefer windows up, AC on. I’m not wild about huge horsepower numbers - they’re fun to look at one day, and every day after that you wonder what you’re supposed to do with the other 498 horsepower that is under the hood but you never even got…

Three wheelers suffer from a perceived lack of stability, exacerbated in no small part by an enormous buffoon in a Reliant.

Where are we? Deep left field, that’s where. Precious few manuals out there anymore, precious few people who can be bothered to learn how to drive them, let alone forced by dint of the absence of any other choice, and an increasing irrelevance in any case.

Seeing how I rarely go much faster than 100kmh Eco all the time would be the way to go.  I’m not a fan of the compact crossover body style but I’ve seen way worse.  I think they won’t be able to build them fast enough.

If a driver is willing to advance the spark manually, I bet they’re up to the challenge of an extra step in the clutch too.

Anymore it’s just a marketing designation pointing to trucklike things doing carlike jobs.
