Climate change is real, everyone.

I don’t care what he says, these these will end up being cheap Nissans in disguise.

I’m amazed that aircraft of this size (or any size for that matter) can get off the ground. Thank God for engineers.

I made the same point with the Charlie Martin post a few weeks ago. Don’t create a sideshow and maybe you won’t get treated like a freak.

Imagine the QC issues of rushing cars through a production line during a 12 hour shift in a tent in 110 degree heat.

I feel sorry for the owners of the cars made during this frantic period. Not only are they overpriced but they will likely suffer from all kinds of QC issues.

I’m actually surprised any Alfas are still available in the U.S.

Dear Ford,

Batteries powering electric vehicles are forecast to make up 90% of the lithium-ion battery market by 2025.

They will hold out on delivering these cheap models as long as they can, they have to start showing a prayer for profits soon, or they risk investor support.

No, SantaBarbarianLS6 was referring to the Tesla buyers, not big oil & gas. I agree with him, these credits are an unnecessary gift. Plus, some studies have shown that manufacturing an electric car uses more energy that what is saved, so the “incentive” makes no sense.

Worst bad thing: The styling. It is a very average looking car.

You don’t see other auto makers or motorcycle companies trying to exploit patriotism.

This kind of shit drives me crazy. I’m not a big government guy but consumers need to be protected from this. The FTC is impotent- look at the claims in ads for hair growth, weight loss, testosterone products, make-up (wrinkles), etc.

I get it. I hate being a passenger in high-perfomance situations. I don’t even like sitting shotgun with an instructor on track days, no less on a mountain road with no guardrails.
