For the life of me, I can not understand why Tesla didn’t do the system so the car just parks it self if warnings to take control aren’t addressed in a timely manner. That is the part where I think Tesla is highly negligable in all of this as it seems their system is perfectly happy just flashing warnings and…

It’s a line from a movie. Sorry, didn’t think it was that obscure. Apparently my taste are more obscure than I realized.

Fat girls are like mopeds. They are fun to ride every once in a while, but never let your friends see you on one.

To much money for something to old and no collectable interest to me. Got to CP at that price.

Looks like a K&N drop in filter to me. I run them in everything and have for more than two decades now. Bluetooth ODB port module, again I’ve been running ODB port monitors for awhile. To me, the vehicle was owned by someone who took care of stuff and wanted to keep an eye on all of the monitors they can which dash…

Not when the tires are that big and you aren’t running high air pressure in them, so they have a lot of give to eat up the terrain.

Price and mileage made me want to CP it, but truth be told, I want it and I haven’t seen one this clean in a long time.

It’s a VW = CP

It doesn’t have any suspension, all the suspension is provided by the oversized tires.

What a surprise, something involving California being a mess.

Okay, apparently I must have been on a really bad luck streak. After having every vehicle make it to 200k with out major issue aside from a disaster of a Touareg (previous owner did me no favors). I had an Expedition I had to dump at 160k that despite maticulous maintenance I had to dump it at 160k because it was…

Against my better judgement of never buying someone else’s project. I’m totally dig this one. It’s odd and different enough that for some unexplicable reason I want it.

I swear cops are some of the worse drivers. I’ve long lost count of how many have almost taken me out head on as the drift across the center line while fiddling with their computer or phone while driving. Based on my experience seeing them drive, I don’t know how they catch anyone driving fast.

At this point, I don’t think Tesla really has any inovation anyone wants as everyone has caught up. Tesla isn’t doing anything magical with regard to technology others aren’t or can’t. All they would be buying is the name and hype, unless the quality issues degrade that to much.

Based on the title, I thought this was going to be about the apperance of their cars, not the company itself.

Now we know why he’s giving up and selling. No matter how much work he does on it and how much money he spends on it, it will never be as good and as cheap as an over priced Tesla. So he just threw in the towel and bought what he was trying to achieve.

Another EE here, so many questions of build quality and questions in my mind with mismatched components. There is so much that goes into something like this and making sure everything is matched correctly. The kind of voltage and current draw you are dealing with here, doing it wrong could be disasterous. If I was…

I’ve been saying fuel cell/hydrogen powered is the future for ever. Nothing I’ve seen has made me change my thought process.

Just because it’s old, doesn’t mean it’s desirable. I love old classic cars and would have no trouble spending this on the right project car, but this is not it. It’s old, bland and undessirable. In the end this just an old POS not worth investing money in and dealing with the headaches that come with old cars. I’d go…

And this is just a further example of why you don’t go to Consumer Reports for automotive information, because from my experience, with routine maintenance, every car should make it over 200k. Haven’t had an issue doing it with any vehicle I’ve owned since 1990 model year.
