I know! I recommend jumping on this offer right away before a bidding war ensues.

I have a 10 year old Scion tC with a bad 3rd gear synchro that burns oil. I’ll cut you a deal at only $60k. ;)

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from a specific series of movies, it’s that a dude can somehow own a super hot (& clean) performance shop despite spending all of his time setting up stupid street races, and then magically become one of the most talented computer hackers in the world overnight.

I thought I read somewhere that GM was tooling up for a next-gen Corvette after the 2018 model year. But obviously this looks very similar to the C7 except for all the new body parts. Is the 2019 model going to be a mid-cycle refresh?

Hey, I resemble that comment!

I wonder if it was the same idea-man who wrote episode 2's special forces training ground disaster?

I feel the same way about the rest of the show. I only enjoyed it when our 3 musketeers were out driving the cars without all the goofy, scripted nonsense.

Indeed, Mike Skinner may be an awesome guy and perhaps if he was just allowed to talk freely (or just shut up and drive) he would have been entertaining. But the “character” of Mike Skinner was a one-note parody that wasn’t funny even the first time I heard it.

Unfortunately - I can’t recall where I read it - but weren’t they initially stating the bottleneck was due to poor spot welding on the frame? Has that been fixed? If not, I wonder if this production slowdown could be a blessing in disguise, limiting the number of potentially poorly welded vehicles being assembled…

“Electric cars aren’t totally green.” Yeah, we all get that. No one’s denying it. But to state that they aren’t greener than gas cars in most cases is probably incorrect. Regardless, as our electrical grid relies more and more on renewable/clean energy EVs make even more sense. It’s good to start the EV transition now…

I don’t know which article you’re referring to, but in case you hadn’t noticed our grid is becoming much more green every month. I’m all for nuclear power, but there are other great clean energy sources which are obviously being implemented at ever increasing rates. Regardless, we also have to consider the much higher…

If it’s a road course racecar it probably doesn’t need a 6th gear for cruising.

I have a reasonable idea, but the fact that I don’t know everything is why I posted that article by the union of concerned scientists. They did take the time to analyze everything. So don’t believe me, believe them. Or any of the other studies out there right now that confirm the same thing. Deny all you want, but at…

Why don’t we just make electric cars sound like F-Zero cars?!

Dude, look at the link I posted in a couple of places in this thread. It’s a pretty comprehensive analysis. Or look at lots of other similar articles and studies that prove the same point with the numbers to back it up. Lots of smart people have run the math. EVs are perfect, but they are way better for the…

I was thinking F-Zero (which would be awesome), but I think you might be closer. Now that I’ve read your comment I can’t hear this noise without thinking of the rainbow track.

Thank you for the well-reasoned response with actual numbers and math, instead of just making a bunch of baseless statements to back up your preconceived notions. Also, for gasoline we have to take into account the actual drilling process, shipping across oceans (in some cases) and pipeline leaks. Not to mention, the…

I know I’m nitpicking, but I don’t believe Musk started Tesla.
