I have lived in a city with a population of 1 million people for 20 years now. I have also traveled the world for work for many of those years. In London they were talking about outlawing cars in the town altogether. but the smart cars did nothing for congestion and they had to make special spots for these and similar…

the problem is the Colorado is a pickup and has terrible approach and depart angles. Had they made a Colorado bodied K5 on this running gear then maybe it would be a fair comparison. this is GM’s Jeep fighter. it looks jeep wrangler 4 door ish. and has similar running gear. the lack of a solid front axle is the…

the only Saving grace is the Stick with rear locker. Fortunately LS swaps are easy, and even easier if you start with a wrecked Colorado V8....you will want to take the front axle from the Colorado as it is Iron instaed of aluminum to handle the power. If it were not for the stick and the near rubicon level of rock…

I recall the LTD versions in the 70's and 80's and even early 90's on the LTD wagons. But I do remember quite a few variants in the late 70's early 80's, about when the Wagoneer was so popular.

Races can be shown on TV, Certainly Nascar shares success with Football in this arena, but I cannot say that I have seen any of the corvette racing indicated here on TV. Certainly if a lot of people watch the race, having a winning brand does make them something special in their eyes and perhaps it sells a few cars.…

yes to this....star for you

PSHT, pretty good idea for all things electric.

lol, oh yeas, let’s do. I would still say from all around goodness the smallish Supra would likely win. The Miata is a fine car, but perhaps even more niche than the supra and thus cannot be called the best. Perhaps the best small sports car....

It has been done, just not by the factory. But yeah go ahead remind people that it really is a big station wagon and not a Mustang.

Oh, you could, I do in my various cars and many are not considered commuter cars. I am just saying without adequate info, the pre-conceived rules for this discussion for me might have been different. I think the supra is a pretty small car, but other do not it seems. I initially only thought of small, cheap economical…

Except even if it was used solely for city driving, it still sucked in the Fuel economy game. 20 and 30 year old similarly small cars from yesteryear absolutely beat it. It was not that smart of an idea and its time has passed. again I like the idea behind it, but the execution was terrible. there is not much in the…

there are a few in America https://www.greatsmokies.com/road-nowhere/

I wonder what they say is small I guess. I mean if we are going sports car versus affordable small commuters. 

Not sure about he smart, seemed stupid to me in that is got terrible fuel economy for it’s size, it was absurdly slow yet required premium oils and fuel. I would say the mid nineties Geo Metro was a smarter choice. Sits four or can haul far more groceries, base model was hovering around 50MPG the XFi variant pushing…

Pretty sure the newish Chevrolet avalanche I looked at last year was a mile wash car. it came from Canada via Arizona with under 100K on the OD, but wear and tear indicated far more miles as did the clicking and moaning front axles at full lock definitely raised a bunch of red flags. I get it, used car guys are trying…

I thought Mini Moke until I saw the wheels. Still not sure how they could get by on a beach without beach flotation type wheels though.

Meh, Mustang started the Pony car and has stayed relatively stoic on the definition. 4 doors, truck height seating and optional awd at fairly high price is not that in most peoples mind. I could care less about the name though, I really want to see the big three put up an actual Tesla competitor. This is almost there,…

“Totally overhaul transportation by massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, build charging stations everywhere, build out highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary, create affordable public transit available to all, with goal to replace every combustion-engine vehicle” Take it how…

Yep, I missed the slot for the window and forgot the gait went away too. still I would take one.

Are you sure? The Subaru legacy in My moms garage has the cylinder head squarely between the front wheels. Have you ever changed the plugs on a flat four Subie? I have faith the basic system could fit the 86 platform even if it needed a few slight tweaks, and I am definitely saying the goal is to change the character…
