HP was fun when it was difficult to make decent power. Now, who cares? Even a Camry will put you in jail. Seems stupid to me to pay for a shit ton of HP you can’t use on the street without being a complete asshole. We should be using tech to make cars smaller and lighter, but every fucking dumbass in America thinks

I hope the transmission stays in one piece. And this is an odd limited edition to me, 197 hp is super doable on an ND Miata (though with FI, not revised heads and engine guts), and wheels, aero, decals, dampers, etc. are all readily available to suit the driver’s specific needs. And Aero Gray? I’m so over gray. Not

You know the butterfly effect theory — that if a butterfly flaps its wings on one side of the world, cascading little changes will make for a significant alteration of life on the opposite side of the world? I think that if this Infiniti model had never been created our world would be exactly the same as it is now.

Musk, Trump, Thiel, et al. are megalomaniacal psychopaths. James Bond would be sent to kill every one of them.

I legitimately don’t understand pop-up headlights.

Those are cool, but if this is meant to be a daily driver EV and not a halo car (I admit I don’t have a good sense of this), they seem like they might be more of an annoying failure point (and extra expense) that might not be justified. I would not relish coming out after work on a winter today to find those sliding

I remember mine had a little silk bag to put the faceplate in too. Ahh, the good old days...

Oh HECK YEAH!!!

Aw, heck — Four grand for a pretty clean and easy/cheap to wrench on mid-engined 5-speed runabout? Plus heavy dash of nostalgia for my teen years? Easy NP.

This is exactly what has happened wtih EV, renewable energy, etc.

Love it.

I’m in the same BOAT (literally). An EV would be awesome for my commute, but I own a boat and don’t want a dedicated tow vehicle, so the range extender is perfect for me.  I’ve extremely interested in the scout, but I don’t see any purpose in making a reservation.

For my own use case, I’d go for the range extender one but not the EV-only one. I work from home and have no commute, and I would like something that runs electric-only around town. I also tow my race car long distances and cannot feasibly stop to charge in rural areas with a trailer attached.

Too much for a car with all those miles. Plus the CL ad has all those dealer/broker keywords at the bottom so you just know this ins’t an easygoing car-guy looking to sell his car to another enthusiast – dollars to donuts he’s a insufferable jerk that “knows what he’s got” and there’s a FJB sticker on the back of that

They didn’t. He worked on 23,000 vehicles. So far, only 3 have been found with loose bolts. Click-baity headline reduces reading comprehension.

My guess is that the uncle is projecting a lot of his own beliefs in that statement. The uncle thinks he was a “supersoldier” the uncle thinks he was a “patriot”. Clearly the uncle is full of shit. 

But there was no bomb? Just some shit that would burn. Green Berets can make a more effective bomb than that in your kitchen. I think this was some kind of performative suicide.  If it was an actual assault, why not drive the truck INTO the building?

Sure, but they don’t realize that.

Jesus Christ, the semantics are making my head hurt:

I mean, the uncle’s claims are suspect. Being a patriotic American and supporting MAGA/Trump are mutually exclusive states.
