I prefer the original, but potato-potatoe in this case. Either is lovely compared to what came since.

The Model S is in NO WAY original, but it IS pretty. It’s a pastiche of every high-end Euro car - but I will take that over the graceless lumps that are the 3 and the Y. Or whatever the heck the CyberTurd is supposed to be.

Brilliant! You can bet these guys are having WAY more fun at 50mph than the drivers of naff supercars are having at 150mph.

In the wet no less. That has to but utterly terrifying.

The sad part is that if you can afford a Urus, you can afford the REAL Lamborghini SUV, one of the 300 LM002's they built. But I suppose the trophy wives I see driving Urus’s can’t drive a stick.

Let’s see:

Tesla needs to bring back whoever styled the Model S. Because obviously Elon must have fired that dude in a snit at some point - everything they have released since looks horrible by comparison, including every update of the Model S itself.

Would likely sell better than yet another copycat EV CUV. At least it would be unique in the marketplace. To me that thing pictured is indistinguishable from a KIA EV6, or about a half dozen other of it’s ilk.

Why does Chrysler need to sell anything under their own brand? General Motors doesn’t, the closest being GMC Trucks, which are just a way for Buick Cadillac dealers to sell trucks, for the most part. But I would posit that “GMC” is a separate brand from “General Motors” - and I have no doubt that legally it IS a…

Unless the manufacturer is paying, my cars don’t darken the dealer’s doors other than for warranty work and recalls.

Interesting situation. As I said, this was NOT a Fiat dealer, they are a CDJ dealer who bought a bunch of Fiats from corporate. Dead dealer inventory and auto show stand cars. My car was on the stand at the Chicago Auto Show, as it turned out. Because they were not a Fiat dealer, the cars could not be sold as new…

If I can’t afford to fix a car, I can’t afford to fix that car. Extended warranties are no different than Vegas. In order for a few to win, MANY have to lose, and the house ALWAYS wins. Most of the time, all you are doing is pre-paying for repairs that may never happen at all.

Those are at least somewhat tangible things, if wildly overpriced. Is there anything more useless than an extended warranty on a Toyota product? The whole reason to buy the boring things is how reliable they are, after all. I had a friend who got suckered into buying an expensive extended warranty on a Honda Accord -…

Obviously people react differently to alcohol. I haven’t been drunk in decades, but I am like you, I get quieter than I already am and end up asleep in short order. My kid brother gets *violent* when he drinks. As in, he’s been in jail multiple times because of it. He just wants to fight everyone around him. His…

The limit should be *none*. The last thing you want in an emergency on an airplane are buzzed passengers, never mind actually drunk ones.

It is absolutely hilarious that “Full Self-Driving” can’t drive the cars itself in the most controlled of controlled condition. <facepalm>

There was a 1940 Robert Heinlein short story based on the idea. “The Roads Must Roll”.
