It is a sad life that can’t find fulfillment without external stimulus.

Do you think they would initiate projects like the RC or LC, today, knowing those sales numbers?

What modern car feels most similar?

No minimum wage law is in harmony with capitalism. Social support programs can be at harmony with capitalism.

“Some people did something” is easily as offensive as many of Trump’s more inflamatory and poorly spoken and chosen words also taken out of context and with willful misrepresentation of the topic. They were poorly chosen words. Cop to it and move on rather than double down on them.

The Elantra is a serviceable appliance and not a bad place to sit but insipid to drive. Throttle response is horrid and handling is uninspiring. The Jetta feels stiff and tight. Not like a rock hard sports car or anything, just like everything is very solidly connected. The engine was responsive with torque where you…

I bought the Jetta used for my daughter with an I5. I drove it for a bit and liked it enough I bought a GTI for myself. The Elantra inspires nothing like that for me to consider a Stinger or a G70 (though I am sure they are entirely different.) The Jetta very clearly was designed in a country where people are expected…

Had a Jetta, replaced it with the equivalent Elantra. Driving experience is miles apart.

Easily accessing frequently used symbols for technical writing and programming is one good use of it.

Because people actually drive their Ford GTs.

I think the Rivian has portal axles. They might be hard to see, tucked up high. I think I read that Rivian is using F150 bodies to disguise their test mules, so this would make sense.

Is that an F150 or a F150 body on a Rivian chassis? I think I read that Rivian is using F150 bodies to disguise their test mules.

Weasel words. Poorly worded question if a definitive answer is required. He didn’t actually say, “no, we will never sell an electric version of a Beetle.” Nor can he, he is a CEO, and would be irresponsible to disclose future product plans before they are ready. You ask these questions on the off-chance you will get…

And, instead of having power storage dangerously stored on each car, let’s deliver it to them via conductors and keep the power store above ground where it can easily be serviced and doesn’t present a hazard to the passengers.

I’m a fan of Elon Musk but this is all wrong. A subway train is a single point of failure in electric transportation with a certain probability of failure. This tunnel solution, as presented, would have hundreds of points of failure (each car in the tunnel) with their certain probability of failure. Even if the subway…

I’m sure he is a professional who, like all professionals, can separate their personal ideology from his professional responsibilities. Right?

It broke because it’s electric and the test driver tried to put gas in it.

Humans don’t have LIDAR. It’s not impossible to do it with vision systems.

Slightly massaged Z4 *as specified by Toyota*. There was a really good investigative story a month or two ago that exposed just how much (quite a bit and where it counts) Toyota there is in the Z4/Supra, engine and all. So while the cars are quite similar, the influence goes both ways.

Or just drive without a front plate and pay the “fixit” fine if you ever get cited. Or! Or get one of the slick mounts that lets you slide the plate under the bumper.
