I forgot about the Spark EV. Those always looked nice in and out. I will have to look and see what is available near me.

No place to put the dog. I had a gas smart for a few years and loved it but it just got to be too small once we got the dog. She likes space.

I drive about 3-5 miles a day. I could actually walk or ride a bike to work but the weather is either too hot, cold or wet so I won’t do that while dressed up. But, something like this is perfect.

Something like this would really be perfect for my commute. There is no reason something like this could not be sold here for around $8,000. If a fortwo can pass a crash test, so can something like this.

So impressed that this thing is holding up as well as it did. Some little diy adjustments and additions should make it much better. Could the staining on the headliner be from humidity? 

I agree with this. I have always said that they should be able to sell cars here that do not meet standards as long as you sign a waiver of some sort. People drive motorcycles, scooters, Slingshots and so on that do not meet crash standards and there should be a certain amount of other vehicles that should be able to…

You took the words right out my own fingertips. What a disgusting individual that person is and he is so clueless to even see what an asshole he sounds like. 

Oh for sure. But most people lack the skills and the tools/space to do the work. That is my issue. I love cars and I love woodworking. Cars and woodworking do not go well together in a small 2 car garage so I chose to leave it for woodworking and use my dads garage for cars because he has everything and it is a nice…

They are making money on them. They make money on the financing of them and the servicing in hopes that once they are making more money they will step up to at least a small SUV from them in a few years. These cars are just an entrypoint to the brand. This is why you will not see smart car companies like Hyundai and…

They don’t have to cost much to develop. You think that Spark is costing anything to produce now? They can spread those costs over 10 years and several markets. You don’t have to update platforms as often because those buyers do not care about anything past bluetooth and apple car play/android auto. Every 3 years…

Have you taken your car to have any repair work done lately? Don’t you think it would be easier for a poorish person to budget a $300 a month expense or a $1,000+ expense when something goes wrong with that used car? Now imagine that happening a few times on top of their $200 a month payment for that used car. A brake…

Yes! When I wrote this I had UConnect on my mind. They do ok with having physical buttons and within the touchscreen for most things but Tesla is on another annoying ass level. Touchscreens in cars are getting a bit played out anyway. I much prefer better phone integration over what an auto manufacturer can give you, s…

It should be mandated that touchscreens be used only for infotainment and non essential functions only. It’s fine to adjust your seat temperature, but not something like lights or wipers. To me, the best design for climate controls is the 3 round knobs approach. Can wear gloves to use them and can do anything without…

But the Transit and Transit Connect are not even similar. A Transit Connect van with a bed would be more accurate looking.

I honestly always loved the way the last generation Eclipse looked. I am going to have to do a search for one now and see how much the convertibles are. 

That is so true and another reason why I think Pits get a bad rep. She does not like people arguing or play fighting. She will get in-between and will push us apart. My spouse and I have never gotten physical with each other, but I am pretty certain that if I were to get physical (I would never) she would make sure I…

They really are some of the best dogs I have had or been around. My grandparents had them when were were babies and they were amazing dogs to us. They would not even let us leave the backyard. If we tried they would either block us with their bodies, bark for my mom or grab our pantleg. Smart, loving and very focused…

Crack pipe all the way. I have seen nicer examples that were newer and had less miles for the same price. 

I think it looks alright. Not amazing but very on trend for current CUV’s. Although I do think that they need a standout vehicle since they don’t have a huge marketing budget. The vehicle needs to sell itself out on the road and this looks like it would just blend in with the other wide mouth bass styled vehicles.

It’s been out being tested for a while now. This is what it will look like.
