The Suburban should not exist.

Porsche’s highest performance models are PHEV. How would this end up as its least sporty configuration? Especially with no roof.

Honestly even if you are Japanese it’s a scary justice system. They’re just used to it. I think he’s guilty as hell but the lack of anything we would consider due process there frightens me (including the fact that they basically get to use a light version of “enhanced interrogation” and deny you access to an attorney…

Ahh, bullshit. Calhoun’s degree is in accounting. Boeing used to be run by engineers. When it was, the saying amongst pilots was “if it ain’t Boeing I ain’t going.” That’s not true anymore, and it can be directly traced to Boeing’s decision to separate management from engineering (literally - management’s in Chicago…

In Valladolid, a tiny spanish city I’ve seen

I saw a Ssanyong Rexton, a weird SUV I recognized from growing up in India, parked casually outside a dorm in my Indiana college. It had MI manufacturer plates on it, and what’s weird is that it was RHD with MPH speedometer increments.

Not quite the same as the examples you gave but it’s wild to me that someone in my tiny, awful, middle of Alberta town has a Fisker Karma

I see a lot of Mexican plated vehicles in Texas. On the streets of Dallas this year I’ve seen:

A dustbuster in Rome - Oldsmobile version IIRC. No photograph, unfortunately.

Can the IIHS tackle DRL LEDs that are so bright the driver thinks their headlights are on even when they’re not? I run into this all the time now, because dashboards are always lit, even with the headlights off, and DRLs are so bright the owners think their lights are on. I’ve been stuck behind someone without their…

I actually feel the opposite. I have no issue driving with traditional headlights, the only issues I encounter are being blinded by other cars on the road with aircraft spotlights, and the incredible amount of glare that all of the LCD displays inside of modern cars produce.

The DeLorean Flight of the Navigator:

I cannot definitively say that this is my favorite, for I have not yet tried them, but I hope to do so someday:

Has to be the Mitsubishi F-2. I know they’re not doing too hot in the USA right now, but Mitsubishi ain’t a giant conglomerate for nothing:

Some of the Porsche Design / IWC watches are nice.

My Honda mower. It has worked flawlessly since I bought it six years ago. Pulled it out of the box, added fuel, pulled the cord once, and it started right up. Still starts on the first pull. It’s the best mower I’ve ever owned.

I’d be more interested in how many people who preordered the vehicle even have an intention to buy it at all. It’s a refundable $100 deposit and you know over 250,000 people are not buying it. The preorders will be meaningless. It’s just so you can tell your friends you are getting a Tesla truck and when the time…

High strength glass is also terribly expensive.

First, Tesla will sell plenty of “cyber trucks” (still not sure they actually call it that) to Tesla fans and folks who want to get into the Tesla image-sphere, but they’re unlikely to sell many trucks to people who either need to do truck stuff (haul, tow, etc.) or who bought a truck because they have enormous…
