It won’t pass our safety regulations, so it would have to be marketed either for off-road use or as a low-powered vehicle in those states that allow golf carts on their roads. That being said, I think that the design is well-executed but that the market simply isn’t there UNLESS they can use their skateboard to follow…

Daytona 500? One of the NASCAR road courses? Sprint cars on a dirt track in Iowa? Put the drivers in completely different vehicles and see who really shines!

The industry is focused on making money (duh!) at the expense of giving customers more choices/options. As a customer, I’d like the ability to order just the options I want (instead of entire “packages”). So, given how things have changed (mostly due to Covid) and are continuing to change (due to AI and automated…

One word, oversteer. My first car was a ‘65 Corvair with a 2-speed powerglide transmission, vinyl bench seats, and bias-ply tires. Being young and stupid, I “fell off the road”, more than once, when the back end came around. I also learned the importance of tire pressures, when it comes to proper handling. Luckily,…

Corvairs (at least my ‘65) also had spare tires in their engine compartments. Most of the time, it wasn’t in the way, but it seemed like a strange choice for a car with inherent oversteer.

One, many intersections now use photosensors (mounted overhead, that look like cameras) since they don’t require messing with the pavement.

It sounds like you’ve reached the age where driving at night is no longer a safe option, for you. Yes, emergency vehicles have bright lights. Yes, some of them are black and hard to see. But, guess what? So are many, many other non-emergency vehicles, that you also shouldn’t run into.  Meanwhile, most people are…

It’s not so much that they’re driving on the beach, it’s what they’re driving and how and where they’re driving. There’s no consensus on size, but there is agreement that visibility can be a challenge - https://www.government-fleet.com/279672/beach-patrol-vehicles-what-to-know-before-you-buy and https://www.gainesville…

I see far more Suburbans and Yukons as suburban mom-mobiles while Dad’s driving the crew-cab pickup.

Put that drivetrain into the HR-V and Honda would have a real winner!

“18 Crosstrek - the seamless AWD.  I/we bought it for the color (orange), comfortable ride (for its size), and its good looks and ride height.  AWD was part of the deal, but it’s proved to be surprisingly useful, more than once.

It depends on Dad’s age. Ford F-150. Mercury Marquis. Full-size Cadillac, Lincoln, or Lexus sedan. Camaro or Mustang. But the ultimate stereotype would be a Harley-Davidson dresser or a Honda Gold Wing.

Photos and a description that don’t match are always a red flag. (How hard is it whip out your smart phone and snap a few?) But even if things matched, here, that price is CP, so ND.

My take is that it’s less about “the car” and the alleged lack of “places” and way more about life shifting to communicating electronically instead of face-to-face. How many times have you been in a restaurant (a classic “third place”) and everyone at a table was glued to their phone?!

. . . and a meter and wifi? Or, are you assuming “free"?!

. . . assuming the billing part of the equation can be figured out . . .

I dunno. The numbers seem “right”, including the depreciation curve, but why is this on craigslist and not on BAT or Cars and Bids? Maybe, it’s another “Honey, I tried . . .”?  NP, I guess (waaay outside my budget . . .)

Chrysler (Dodge Intrepid?) headlights on UPS vans.

The question is, literally, “Will this buff out”?!  Still, ND, at this price.

Aren’t all DC batteries, by definition, “bipolar”?
