The teaser image makes it look like he hit a sewage line.

On a related note: I have a 2001 BMW e46 in very good shape. Just for grins, I put it into the Carvana “we will buy your car!” estimate tool. And they were willing to give me.... $200.oo.
I know a guy that off-roads an articulated city bus.
I love it but I don’t $20,000 love it.
$39,500 over 24 years is $1645 per year.
I learned to drive in one of these. Never seen a hardtop, that’s pretty neat.
How do you not link to that Bloomberg article?!
It sucks that most of the affordable electric cars are relegated to second-car duty. I also love the BMW i3, but it’s hard to justify when I’d need another car for road trips. Or have to rent a car every time. Yuck. I tried to switch to EV and had a 2013 Leaf for a year, but it was miserable.
I’ve always maintained that the spoke count should match the lug pattern. 4 spokes, 4 lugs. 5 spokes, 5 lugs. Or just cover up the damn lugnuts with a plate.
I think it’s an interesting cruiser for sure. It’s neat in that it looks like a 1970's car but (hopefully) drives like a newer car. It’s got fuel injection and should drive fairly well. The 5.0 could be woken up with some bolt-on mods. Maybe some suspension work. I think it could be dope.
I love the exterior and hate the interior. I am not down for that full-width screen. Why am I imagining ads plastered across it like some dystopian taxi? Do I really need an eclipse with some galaxy shit around it for a clock? What the fuck?
Call me a heretic, but I’m a car guy that doesn’t care about racing. It’s not watching them on TV, because I’ve also been to all sorts of them live. My father is very into racing. I was at Daytona when Dale died. I’ve been to the 12 hours of Sebring and the Gator Nationals a few times. I enjoy the atmosphere, I love…
My mother-in-law had a 2007 Mini. She got in a pretty minor accident, but something happened and the car wouldn’t run. I took it to my usual indy German car mechanic. Apparently the accident had broken something with the ECU. They quoted me something like $2500 for a new ECU from BMW. I called Geico, and I swear the…
Man, fuck that instrument cluster. If you want an analog gauge, put one there. Or if you want a screen, come up with some other way to convey the info. Good grief.
I was driving to a friend’s house in the suburbs. In the driveway of one the houses down the block is a Honda Beat. Neato. And next to it is a 1990s Toyota Sedan, but not one we ever got here. And it’s RHD. Okay... and in the garage are a PAIR of R32 Nissan Skylines. Damn son!
I could live with the green paint, perhaps even the hood scoops. But the Lambo doors and the stupid upholstery are a bridge too far. And they aren’t exactly easy to undo, either.
4 cylinder - can be cool or shit
