What I don’t understand is the idea that sporty carrriages not intended for cross country travel would have larger wheels. Larger wheels helped wagons travel off-road or on-shitty-road.

Right? These are all the questions that Lotus set out to answer with the Emira.

Just in case someone might want to, I dunno, know what a 1939 Packard sedan looks like:

1990 Jaguar XJ-S V12 Convertible. I just couldn’t ever catch up on everything that needed to be addressed. But it was a GT. Long and low and the engine sounded like an ocean wave. My favorite thing to do was drive about 75 on the highway and hit the gas. The thing wouldn’t even bother to downshift it would just…

I’m a firm believer that cops empty clips and keep reloading and then claim that a bad guy fired first.

Lol. In every single picture that car just looks exhausted. ND.

I kind of hate it. So busy and fussy on the outside. The inside looks 15 years old to me, and I don’t want the glove compartment to constantly yell TOYOTA at me. I know what I bought. Also the backs of that second row of seats are sloppily upholstered and look terrible. I dunno maybe I’m in a bad mood but I think I’d…

That’s been Buick’s reputation since at least the 1960s. It was the go-to brand for middle class people that had working class customers and didn’t want to seem ostentatious.

Yeah, the Model 3 is already so stripped down, I think a $30k model would have an interior like the back of a squad car and be a better taxi than a personal vehicle. Probably the easiest way to cut costs outside of developing self-driving tech is to design a version that doesn’t have to consider driver comfort. It…

you had me at shot.

I feel like the Cybertruck is the tribal tattoo of automobiles. 

I give it a pass too, because I’m the only person that ever drives my car, I pretty much only listen to podcasts, and I’m the type of person that sets and forgets the climate control. I prefer buttons, but this is not a dealbreaker for me at all. The controls people complain about are nearly all things I set once. And…

At 217k miles and no mention of steering or suspension work, I assume that stuff is very tired. And I wouldn’t be interested at that price if it’s burning oil. It says OBO, so I still voted NP.

hi, ugly.

As far as I can tell, Canoo’s revenue was on presales. I can’t find solid information online that they’ve delivered more than 22 vehicles to customers. I’m not surprised at all that their 2023 revenue was low, 2024 seems like the make or break year for them.

This. My 80 year old mom has one. It’s 4 years old and has 7k miles on it. There are 5 other ones in the parking lot at her assisted living facility. Since most of the residents don’t drive anymore, that’s nearly half of the cars.

I got one of these as a rental. Except for the terribly low HP, it’s a really nice little CUV.

Holy shitballs.

i wonder if they could have gotten through on a technicality by leaving out like one LED’s width band on each side of that wing somewhere. Something that wouldn’t register as separate from a few feet away.

You’re a god damned genius. They would sell at least two.
