NP @ $2k. Above that, you’re smoking something... at $3200, it’s most definitely crack.

That is quite the bias you have there yourself... and the jalopnik-standard persecution complex if someone throws shade at a brand you own. I’ve had GM cars too - some nice, some junk. GM isn’t exactly knocking it out of the park lately.

Porsche manages that one too somehow. Warnings and chimes.

GM engineering sucks? Seriously... it’s about the ONLY serious failure mode that a hood can have. How bad are your engineers and analysts not to figure this one out? Every front trunk emergency release I’ve seen is a pull handle. That makes it that much harder to foul with internal cargo.

This is not at all a question of “where the engine is.” This is a question of failure analysis and terrible quality control.

Somehow not a problem for Porsches, that also have safety catches and prevent you from opening the frunk in motion with the fob or interior switch. GM quality at work.

Honda F20Cs and Porsche Mezger motors don’t agree with that assertion. And 1qt/1000 isn’t even on the high end based on some forum reading I did. Sheesh.

I thought the same thing until I saw some of the oil consumption rates for Voodoos. Good lord. I’ll give you that it sounds exquisite, but I’ll listen to someone else’s motor before burning nearly a quart per 1k miles.

Curious if graphics delete is an option.

And like that, NASCAR has become more progressive than the... *checks notes*... US Army. Well ok then. You do you, 2020.

If there is a comparably sized company so badly mismanaged, I can’t think of it. Jesus Christ GM, get your shit together.

That would undisputedly be a good thing.

Really want to electrify my Fiat. That’d be about a five-fold increase in power. The total cost of these systems is still just too high. EV West wants ~$16k all-in, and this looks to be about the same range. When these conversions get to <$10k I might bite.

Anchored to the ground? No. But there’s no need. They are absolutely solid and, so long as you line up the jack points with the blocks, the car isn’t going anywhere. I’ve even had both a 4Runner up on them and shook the shit out of it; didn’t even budge. And that was on a crushed rock driveway with 1/4” plywood under…

The QuickJack BL-5000SLX should work for both. Fits my Cayman well and is shorter than necessary.

This is the point that should be made in every single reply to his whinging. He wants his 3/4-bil payout and doesn’t care how he gets it.

So now a 986 can have CarPlay, but to integrate it into my 2012 987.2 still takes non-OEM adapters and living with sound limitations... or a completely new sound system. Porsche’s tech integration is certainly a whipsaw ride.

No USB-C... seriously Apple, get with it. I switch from a 5S to a Pixel 3 and really really want to go back to an iPhone, but the cordapalooza nonsense needs to stop. It’s really the only thing making me second-guess going back.

So I feel like his question stands. Offering to swap it or allowing it anyways is about the most milquetoast approach they could take. A ban is well within NASCAR’s power to enforce - they just don’t want to. Look at their politics and it should come as no surprise why. Those people are their bread and butter and they…

The word is “lie,” not made “inflated claims.” Stop giving him a pass on this stuff. This goes to the heart of media failings in the US right now.
