I like how it looks up close when you can see the different color speckles, that effect all over might be interesting, but as to color-shifting paints, the 1990s just called and they want their paint back.

Or impaired to the point it of being obvious, and/or convinced life was just a simulation. 

If the target is the Rivian R1S, they have it price competitively. It’s base model is $78K with 260 miles range.

I think it’s about the capacity to haul more people. If you have two kids and two parents, you only need two rows. But if you have three and you need to haul friends and relatives too - you can. And if you don’t need to haul them, you’ve got a lot of space for luggage, groceries, pets, sports equipment and so on.

I have a Sienna and only two kids. Our day to day doesn’t require the third row, but we use it almost every weekend when their cousins come over and it is nice to have when my parents visit and we can fit everyone in one vehicle. I’m also planning to get a hitch attachment so I can tow the Christmas float for the…

I feel like KIA is hitting the nail on the head with their “futuristic” designs. Tesla truck should take notes...

Real question, since I’m a childless coastal elite. How often do people use the third row? I see so many parent friends get absolutely massive cars when they have at most two children. Does being a parent often involve driving around 5+ kids that often? Are the extra seats used for storage? I swear I am not being…

Well, of course if someone actually made an EV that looked good to me it would be something like this and also way out of my price range

I feel like the Cruze would be worse. I feel like it is the bastard grandchild of the cavalier and the disgraced son of the cobalt. And i shall die on this hill. 

You trade a Corvette for a Spark?

Seems the most reasonable option.

Convert it to an airbnb 

It is sad to see things change. 35 years ago I sailed on Stolt Tankers chemical tankers. The crew were from the Philippines and most of the officers were European. I found the Philippine crew to be excellent knowledgeable hardworking crew members. Myself; I grew up in Norway and went to a maritime school in Arendal. (I…

When it comes to condos or Garage Mahals... If this is like other car country clubs, they will lease you a plot (typically 100'x200') and you can build what you want. There may be certain criteria for design to keep it all cohesive. They likely will have a recommended builder (like Morton Buildings). It’s all up to…

It is about time. The Philippines government has been destroying the crew market for decades now.

I hope they go the same route as Autobahn in IL and host track days from other groups. A big appeal of the multi-configuration setup is that they can pull a ton of additional revenue from outside groups while still keeping a course open for members. 

391 was the largest FT Series motor, which came in rigs like this. Now you can stroke it for extra displacement, better heads, intakes and cams and get a lot more torque out of it. 

I’m a little surprised it didn’t come with a larger V8 or a Cat 3208 Diesel. If originality can go by the board then a 7.3 Powerstroke (actually a T444E) and 6 speed Allison would improve performance and mileage. A Cummins swap would be challenging here since the C series was designed around a V8 or small 6 and…

No, no they are not tough, they are literally a tin can filled with rust here in Michigan. And as someone who was right behind this accident as it happened what the article doesn’t tell you is that the speeds traffic was traveling both directions were less than 40mph closer to 30mph due to white out conditions.

Growing up there, I didn’t notice it.
