The premise was to use an MX-5 cup car. They already have:

Low hanging fruit, I know.

Almost any of them, really. This isn’t a “They sure don’t build them like they used to rant” but tech is now the wild card in most new vehicles. Consumers want all the efficiency and gadgets they can get at any price point, and manufacturers are happy to oblige, but at their own price point that maximizes profit.…

Well no matter what car you have if you start the year with 350k on the clock and drive another 67k you’re going to reasonably expect some healthy repairs. Maintenance includes consumables so it’s counting 7 oil changes minimum (probably double that for a lot of cars) at $100 each minimum, at least one set of tires at…

This is a valid point, but on Uber’s Tax form FAQ’s site, for drivers that make above a certain income threshold, they will receive 1099-k tax forms which state the total revenue generated by rider-paid trips for all of the driver’s completed trips. It does seem like a bizarre datapoint to be in an individual’s tax…

Four side points in favor of this:

I’ve heard the joke many times that a black man becoming president made Rs lose their minds. However, I have a bunch of family who has been saying all the current MAGA stuff my entire life, so hating gay people or blaming crime on non-white people has been the norm for a long time in that crowd. The core tangible…

So they were offended by the advertising sticker, but not by the Durango with racing stripes? Ugh… Florida… 

I’ll give an agnostic amen to that. Their policies are so unpopular that they can’t win on anything else but dividing us with culture wars, all the while screaming “Freedom” . Just whose freedom they’re talking about I’m not sure, but I’ve never seen a group of people so obsessed with what other people do with their…

CarMax Won’t Give You MSRP For Your Cybertruck

“They can sell it for $150,000 to $200,000 so fast....”

Built for any planet that composed entirely of nice, paved roads. Others, not so much.

Is this a surprise? Subarus beat just about everything off-road, or at least they punch WAY above their class. 

I think it’s partially because most people are looking for some form of instant gratification. EV manufacturers needed “something” to make their products immediately appealing to consumers. Saving money over 10-15 years of ownership is nice (assuming people even keep the car that long), but that’s not going to scratch…

Buy a Jaguar.

Either you’re doing my pants too or my wife really likes me in culottes.

Fucking shoes, man!   I can barely get 400 miles on my running shoes and don’t even get me started on my work boots!

The most diabolically clever thing Republicans have done is to stab rural America in the back, while finding a way to leave the Democrats fingerprints on the murder weapon.

It’s not just right wing white that believe in this mumbo jumbo.  I know a few African American people that basically believe in the same.  That social security cards means you’re a slave, birth certificates mean the gov’t owns you, etc.  They don’t have bank accounts because they feel then the government can find you…

I was going to commend Erin. She may have saved the life of the next sovereign citizen who gets pulled over, but unfortunately sovereign citizens don’t believe in slideshows.
