Is that the one that Dave Kindig re-did a few years back?  It is obviously the same kind of vehicle but it looks different than the one he did.

 I think the biggest problem with EV sales is charging. Both at home and on the road. Uniformity in charge equipment would help too. I need to get out of the car on long trips every couple of hundred miles anyway. But I need way more chargers to be available and functional.

Tiny car for tiny people.  See also the Alfa 4C.  I loved the S2000, but, as a person more than six feet in height and just under a hundred kilos, there is no way for a person like me to fit in cars like that.  Really nice, but not for me, sadly.

I have 100K on my 2016 HRV and it has needed only maintenance and has been trouble free.  It’s not fancy at all.  But it is ferociously reliable. That is what 90% of car buyers want.  A reliable tool that is affordable.  If only GM or Ford could do that.  Stellantis, I just don’t know.

Saab was permitted to rummage through GM’s parts “catalog” and slow walk their death.

So, no one but Takata makes air bag inflators?

RE: Alfa.  Italian cars are very nice to look at.  At many points in your ownership of one, that will be all you get.  Opportunities to look at it and regret it.

My son had one as a company car and it was Ok, but the interior was small and cheap.  It worked fine but was not very appealing.

For most people, a car is a tool for a job. You buy the tool you can afford to do the job.  Again, most people.  Car people operate differently and I get that too.  I’m a car person with insufficient “extra”  to do more than wish.  Thats okay too.

Skeet shooting with prizes!

Sure thing!  First, I have to get someone to abandon a 1969 Z-28 in “poor” condition in my yard.  Then, I’ll need to win the lottery and build a machine shop and learn to re-bore stuff.  Thanks, but I’ll just watch from here.  Way too much shrinking money to do stuff like that.

an answer to the first is NO and the second is ABSOLUTELY.

I wonder if Ford would do a Garage 56 version.  Just for the Lolz

“Police wear body Cameras” all the time, which are operated by the officer.  Those things should never have an off switch.  Just sayin’

For me, its a perfect “car”. My 2004, manual transmission Civic. I bought it five years ago with 204000 miles on the clock. The AC works, it’s mostly rust free, it gets well over 30 mpg and it has crank windows. I paid 1000$ for it then. I’ve put a clutch in, l brakes and a muffler. I commute to my last job three days…

I used that verbiage because I wasn’t certain about the information.  80% of the incursions were caused by human error.  That seems like a big number.

Around 55,000 people are in the air at any given moment.  Many are in Boeing aircraft.  I won’t be one.  The other reason I won’t be flying anytime soon is that there is a pretty critical shortage of pilots and, really importantly, air traffic controllers.  The number of incidents that narrowly averted catastrophe…

It seems to me that employers of nearly every stripe have for a couple generations had a bottomless well of people to do their bidding at their offer.  It also seems to me that that condition may no longer be operative.  It further seems that some sort of resolution to this condition is going to take a while.
