Story time. Driving my WRX in WV (no front plate state) with out of state VA plates (Va requires front plates). I was on RT-19 outside of Summersville. That road is a notorious speed trap, so I had cruise control set 1-2mph below the limit. I saw this cop going the other way, toss his lights and sirens on, skidded and…

This was not ‘asking her to have children with him’. It was a rape threat, and couching it as anything but is dishonest.

I realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I just don’t see it with this car. I applaud the effort and confidence, but it just looks -- in photos, at least -- like a big sausage. Now the Sollei, on the other hand, wears the look MUCH better. 

At least the door stayed attached so Boeing is getting better.

One has to wonder just how the hell an automotive lifestyle brand founded by the late Ken Block wound up over a billion dollars in debt just over a decade after it was founded.

It’s real weird to for two people to confidently pontificate about an event that happened a decade and a half ago, which neither of them witnessed, on a TV show that neither of them were involved with at the time.

I could see about a year ago that things had started to cool as there were actual cars at the dealership that were for sale and even had a small discount on them. They were all sold before they hit the dealer a few years ago and I’m sure there were markups attached to some. It makes sense as the hype is always around…

They were just testing it.

That’s the GVWR of the Pacifica. The Pacifica curb weight is 4521 lb. Im pretty sure that list is just GVWR and not actual curb weight. 

I really like the idea, and always liked the 131 rally car....if the work was really clean I’d probably eke out a NP. As Rob noted, the panel fitment, some of the paint work, lack of real abarth wheels, etc. is just a bit sloppy. The spare panels included, complete with a gutter guard grill appears alarmingly shitty.

ACTUAL 131 rally cars go for six figures. The homologation specials generally do not. So if you want a road-legal 131 Abarth Rally, buy one of those. Don’t buy whatever this is.

Conversely, we can still put a smaller battery in the same vehicle and run an easy 200+ miles with 500+ lbs saved, aka still way way way more miles than the vast majority of folks drive in a single day.

Also, the Lucid Air GT in its current form weighs no more than a Chevy Tahoe, of which there are hundreds of…

Yeah, that huge battery (118 kWh) is about half the size of the Hummer EV / Chevy Silverado EV battery and contains the same amount of energy as 3.5 gallons of gasoline and just knocked out 523 miles on a charge at highway speeds.  Your point?

I’d stay away from used couches out of Ohio, too.

Sir, that’s a Mustang.

A 1978 Honda Civic? Worked for Hightower, with mods

Nah, make it painted metal. Like those bright red, white, and blue bits of trim on fifties cruisers.

How about no. Real wood is fine, the fake stuff just looks awful.

Ranko?

I have one strict rule, whatever the brand. I never buy a brand new model (or a refresh model) in its first year. Too many headaches. True for any brand (not defending Tesla here btw).
