It looks nice but apart from producing a handful of vehicles Canoo looks more like a scam or money laundering than a viable vehicle builder. Rivian has actual delivery fleets in service alongside consumer trucks and Lucid also has a substantial number out on the road. Even Fisker got more stuff made before imploding.

Lots of people with not a lot of money want cheap cars. I wouldn’t buy a $35,000 crossover but I also wouldn't buy a Mirage or Versa. I guess I am buying used

Those fires are astonishing and I saw the Santiam Canyon after the monster fires in 2020. 4 years later Detroit, Mill City and Gates have burned out buildings that haven’t been rebuilt and burns where there used to be trees. 

It’s like a Turbo look 911 all show and no go. ND

I wonder what it sounds like. 8 cylinder motorcycles are sort of absurd, the last serious one is the old Morbidelli.

Nice alliteration there

I’m Gen X and I dislike it because the interface is all touchscreen and those never to be sufficiently damned capacitive pads.

I'm looking at going retro and trading my 2016 Mazda CX-5 for a JDM van. Probably a,Bongo Friendee but maybe a HiAce 

The interior is pure Mcmansionhell.com and the exterior deserves a roasting even if doesn’t have 3 ridge lines and a nub. I’m also astonished at the price $1.6 million is a hell of a lt for 2000 square feet on 1.6 acres in a Colorado subdivision. I can buy a small ranch for that kind of money, or at least a bigger…

It’s the same principle as “anything is air droppable once”

This is not Edd's first rodeo. When he was on Wheeler Dealers they did up a nicer Dino 308 GT4. Also where's Paul?

First world problem, or a skill issue, I used to walk from Grand Central Station to 57th and 5th every day during the brief time I commuted to a job in NYC. I’ll grant it’s a bit weird that he has to enter the zone for one block but that’s going to happen. Maybe he could buy a bicycle, I’m sure he could afford a…

I see 2025 as a year of picking up neglected projects. I rang in the new year by finally replacing the tires on my truck. Next up will be registering the CM250C after decades i. the garage and doing a full service on both.  Then we can plan the grand project,  replacing the Mazda CX-5 with something more interesting.  

Are you in Oregon? We have no safety inspections and only the Portland and Medford areas have emissions testing. 

It would be more surprising if a sober person tried to steal a Waymo. Drunk people do stupid stuff all the time

ND, as nice as it a 30 year old Jeep with a time bomb transmission is $7500  max. Now a holy grail 4.0 5 speed may be worth it.

Carbon fiber fails catastrophically, metal fails gracefully. Where a magnesium or aluminum wheel will crack or bend, a carbon fiber wheel will explode.  This is why the UCI allows carbon rims, but not carbon spokes in massed start races. 

Jeremy Clarkson said it nicely: “Owning a TVR in the past was like owning a bear, great until it pulled your head off, which it would“

2nd Gear: Mazda deserves to win, they make some of the best crossovers, and the profits subsidize the Miata. This won't stop my plan to sell my CX-5,  to buy a more interesting Mazda 

I'm slightly surprised this happened in California and not Florida, but then again California has a long history of wackiness
