yeah, the engine compartment resides in center at the rear, but these engines are super tiny. and the fuel tanks are most likely in the side sponsons like a normal pontoon. again, probably also very small. i would guess the total fuel capacity in these is MAYBE 30 gallons. that would give these boats plenty of range.

i haven’t seen any other pics other than these, but i would have to imagine that whole center sponson is storage. that’s a pretty large berth that can probably swallow up those seats. 

looking at the grid system, it doesn’t look like it would be difficult to fab up some basic mounting points. my first thought was this would be perfect for getting some hooks fab’d up for tie down points. load some dirt bikes, load up a tent, and go hit some secret riding spots around powell or even mead. would also…

Yeah, and nurses to take care of you also. Why are hospitals freely firing nurses who refuse to get vaccinated AFTER they already worked through the height of the pandemic? If there were still as many serious cases as you think there are, they wouldn’t be freely firing nurses. 

Oh I don’t? Maybe you should enlighten me. Maybe you should read the definition of a vaccine first though and then come back to me with what you find. A vaccine should not result in you getting sick with what you were vaccinated against. Did you get your MMR vaccine when you were a kid? Did you then get sick with…

Yes, stop calling a vaccine a vaccine if it’s literally not even doing it’s 1 job. If you can still contract, die from, and spread the virus you are supposedly getting vaccinated from, then it is not a vaccination. This fact right here is what is slowing down the vaccination rate. Tell me to go get vaccinated but then…

man, you’re too easy:

well, once again i feel sorry for those people and now you. i believe you should enjoy driving your car. i don’t foresee much enjoyment being had in that anemic, underpowered turd. also “generally reliable” should never be applied to a vehicle with a CVT transmission. 

i feel sorry for those people. 

man, that outlander has to be the most boring car to drive. 181hp 2.5 na 4cyl, CVT trans, and a curb weight of 3500lbs. add in the 7 passengers it’s built to haul around and you’ve got yourself one slow ass, uninspiring car to drive. welcome to the slow lane and 10mpg. 

my parents bought me a used 94 wrangler for my first car back in 99. that was pretty dumb of them. i proceeded to offroad that thing and rolled it down a hill before i even had a license.

very nice. i was trying to get my wife into a Ti Sport on a short lease for the remainder of her parents QF lease. in the end she didn’t go for it. truth be told, it would have been more for me than for her. from the research i have done, the earlier cars had some issues but have since been resolved. the only issue i…

look for the lease returns. the market is dead asleep on these. you can pick up a nice lease returned QF for less than 40. isn’t the m2 0-60 in the 4's? i think the horror stories people are seeing about the alfa’s are rare one offs. i have not read many stories about reliability issues with the QFs. 

you make jokes, but the inlaws car has had 0 issues other than a weak battery because they didn’t drive it for a month while on vacation. AGM batteries are pretty notorious for needing to be used daily or put on a tender. i’ve done some pretty extensive searching and i can’t find many reports of problems with the…

the alfa stelvio quadrifoglio is probably the most slept on mid size SUV out there. yeah they’re a little pricy. but 505hp and 0-60 in 3.4 is supercar fast. inlaws have one and it walks away from a majority of the performance cars on the market. 

ah yes, only when i’m driving through to vegas or stopping for del taco. really no other reason to go there. ever. 

eh there are plenty of other shit hole desert towns in CA they could have modeled after. lancaster/palmdale comes to mind immediately. victorville could be thrown in there too. plenty of trevor’s in both. 

sigh, what i dreamt my 2004 R32 would be and could do. sadly, it was not.

call bullshit on what? the speed the article claims they were trying to take the curve or the speed in general? the street they were on is miles long, plenty of time for a C8 to get to 150.
