This feels like a place where there should be limits. Say if your car is worth more than 3x the average new car selling price it is on you to self insure for damages beyond that.  People's lives should not be ruined for what would have been a normal priced accident but you chose to drive a priceless car on the street

1st gear, whenever we talk about prices we also need to be talking about potential impact to wages as well, as the two go hand in hand. (We are a global economy so we shouldn’t go 100% protectionist, but we need to stop talkimg about the impacts piecemeal and present the full story)

This always gets me when people spend big money recovering seats on old cars but stick with low back seats.  Why risk it?

DRL is a good technology, the problem is some percentage of the population sees light coming from the front of their car and does not turn their actual headlights on at night.  Hence the desire to have auto light mandated with it.   But our government did not appreciate the need for DRL even when GM was lobbying them…

I mean cell phones still work, they just don’t have a cell signal.

No that is not really the fair way of looking at it.  Almost like saying there have not been multiple generations of Miata based on the different names they used

Not outside the US, they kept the Cherokee name

I’m not convinced the recall will not be expanded, there seems to be reports of failures outside that zone. Toyota is at least stepping up and replacing engines but recalls of that magnitude at a pain

But if you remember your statics class the sun off all forces in a given direction must equal 0 or else the item would be moving.  So if the only force on the hitch is younger weight down, that would be the vertical limit for the hitch as well, that younger weight will also impart a moment on the hitch but that is all…

That's just because they wanted a racecar, I bet those Toyota (or BMW...) engineers could fit a V8 in the regular car

They could sell them if they did...

As a JK owner with way to many mods, they are not bad for reliability, but don’t expect (old school) Toyota level’s of reliability. They can be a lot of fun to drive, but especially with a family you are trading safety for a “fun to drive” car. (lower handling limits, longer stopping distance, more prone to roll over,…

We need to teach them about shrinkflation, bring it in a few inches, loose a few hundred pounds and charge the old price

Because when vc buys them they do it have the debt, vc takes on all the debt to enrich themselves then let's the companies die

I don't know why this is not made illegal, the number of good US companies that have gone away because of this is high.  If anything it keeps opening the door for more foreign companies to come in and funnel mow y out of the US where is used to stay here

Can we turn the Ionic 5 N into the next Camaro?, or maybe at a minimum get the 5n to sound like the Camaro?

But the real question, is a 330i and 530i still a sports sedan?

Consumers bill of rights until we start regulating programs like this, Amazon's ability to unilaterally claim your return was not what it was supposed to be, companies abilities to deny warranties, the companies will just keep taking us over the coals knowing individually none of us will sue them for a worthwhile…

I mean an r1s quad motor is probably my next car... Once I can get a good used one in the 60s it will likely show up here. With AWD you can definitely use more power (and with ev traction control even more so)

Yes weight and drive wheels must be factored in... For an average car the number seems to been 500ish HP, my 400 ctsv is fun but could use more, my father in laws supercharged Camaro (~600 HP) is too much to enjoy around town). For trucks call it 600hp based on the added weight and bigger tires
