well at least you acknowledge your sickness. you could add Jaguar and Land rover to your list of hot messes from across the pond.

it is definitely a tough sell to an average joe looking to go to work and back. it does not really tic off the punch for a really fun weekend toy either, but for those of us that grew up in a Celica and wished it were the more attractive Supra, this thing is damn nice. I would have to have the cash in hand to blow,…
almost everyone I know poopoos the C8 Styling, until they see on in person. GM actually did right by that marque by making an affordable lambo for the youtube generation.
you should have known better then!
hehe, West Coast boy never learned that you don’t ride I 80 or anything north of in it a month ending in BER. I woould have went south in iowa and caught Route 66 home. The deserts are far more fun when they are not hovering in the 120's. Still I wish I had been you, That setup looks like my old V-Max on the first…
It’s called the soft-roader. There are plenty of vehicles that claim some form of off-road capability, but reach their peak beyond a large mud puddle. What a low-range transfer case does is something that can be imitated by fancy electronics and torque converter tuning, but cannot be replaced. But it’s not the same. I…
A 700R4 would have been original to a 1988 truck with the 305. Only 4wd Diesels came with a three-speed automatic, and I believe that had overdirve still.
And initial cost increase of said vehicle.
I agree that Erik is a putz and needs to be moved with Ralph, But I do see the market for the EV transit. they are literally building thousands of Gas vans for Fed Ex and Amazon that are soon going to be electric whether the drivers want them or not. In town delivery and the Gig delivery system is here for a while…
I think the Bronco Sport could probably do well in a full EV or a Plug in Hybrid version if it could be had for 20-25K
My only issue aside from the terrible color is the engine and trans. I get it that some might consider it a sport truck now, but it is a long bed, so it will nevver really be that sporty, so why revert to a carb and only 3 forward gears. the 305 FI would likely still work with the the 350, and I know from experience…
I would say maybe some are like this, but the problem is the higher end versions of BMW vehicles have so many horror stories floating around related to Variable valve timing, SMG transmissions, weak as hell lower ends of the V10, nightmare bi turbo or even single turbo motors. Infinite gremlins on tech not quite ready…
I honestly think they need to bring back the Willys Bread van style. Make it electric, they rarely see more than 100 miles of slow driving anyway.
Except they should be. If the perceived value of the car drops so much, the unfortunate first buyers will eventually dislike taking such huge hits on the pocket book when they trade or sell for the next big thing. Additionally those that are buying these cars for status will stop getting people to think that the cars…
It is somewhat amazing the German Auto groups still make cars and a profit. the TSI 2.0 was a nightmare, most Mercs and BMW’s only last 5-7 years before they hit the scary to drive time frame. the 4.2 VAG is a complete nightmare. it really is a surprise to me and I actually owned a 5 cylinder Passat at one time. it…
I mean it is a pretty well established company and i think this was probably and engineering test bed for the company, but I am also with you enough to be slightly scared of these kits. This charger was under 10K as I recall when it sold.
not saying anything about this incident, however i will say that I have recently been boxed in and slowed down by big trucks. Going through the smoky mountains, the semi’s seem to be in league with the Trump train because they definitely boxed me in and then slowed down considerably going up that hill. Not sure if it…
