Never like to see that there is one less MX-5 in this world.  Sorry for your loss and I hope you end up getting another one.

The old Dodge Charger SRT-8 looks super sinister.

Christine was my first thought.  Definitely needs to make the list.

Clean, tasteful mods, and 1 of a kind in the U.S., still too much $. ND.

I believe down the road there will be RWD and AWD options for the Blazer.  They should’ve kept the Bolt production rolling until they figured all that out.

For me it depends what the goal is.  If the goal is to sell more EV’s in general then yes.  Something like 6% of the U.S. population have a combined household income of $300k+ which out of a population of 342 million is 20.52 million people.  It also doesn’t help that those are kind of the target market for people who…

Can I have just the 3.6 NA engine and a manual?  Strip it all the way down and make a spyder version.

KTM’s in general are expensive but they are amazing bikes. The 5" screen sounds nice and the fact that it is pretty turn-key for an adventure bike (already having engine armor and hand guards installed) is cool.

Insurance rates have increased dramatically.  From what I have seen a common scenario is that insurance pays out the value of the car based on comps (cars of the same make/model and similar mileage around the area you live) and the person just uses that payout as a down payment for a new car.  OEM gets there sale,…

Isn’t it in OEM’s best interest to make body panels so expensive that it totals the car? Car gets totaled, insurance pays it out, OEM gets a new car sale out of it.  

$7,600 is pretty much the only number you need to know. This just cost too much for what it is- which is an EV scooter that doesn’t have the specs of a motorcycle. A EV scooter can get away being more expensive than an ICE scooter but a Honda PCX (which has around a 70 mph top speed) starts around $4,300.  That’s not…

Thanks GM, but we are good. EV’s are kind of a one trick pony and that is going real fast in a straight line without shifting. Maybe invest in battery technology, motor technology, or literally anything other than trying to make a manual EV. It would make the car worse while making it less marketable at the same time.

At the time they came out the 5.2 was only in the “Shelby” dakota.  After the convertible went out of production the 5.2 was available as an option and the Shelby name was dropped.  (I had one and it was awesome)

I hate China because they use slave labor to produce raw materials and all the other series of humans rights violations they have done over the years. Mexico is questionable in a lot of ways but it has fair and open elections and doesn’t have nearly the control over free speech and the right to demonstration that…

Kind of hard to compete against BYD which pays its employees like $345 a month.  They are striking right now because they took away overtime hours which is the only way you can make enough to survive in China.  There are not many labor laws in place to protect workers and they literally use slave labor to produce…

“Would consider” is definitely different than “want”.  I agree with you I think the sentiment is that people want cheaper EV’s and cars in general vs. actively wanting a Chinese made product.

I just thought about something when you said the only way you would know if it had a suspension leak is if it sat. One of the things we had a problem with on the Lincoln’s air suspension is the battery dying prematurely due to the compressor having to run constantly to keep up with a shock leak.  It could entirely be…

You don’t need permission from the government you live in. If you live in the U.S. and go to India to launch a rocket that’s your business. You might get fined by the U.S. if you do something they don’t like but that’s about the extent of legal action they have. U.S. is certainly not the only air space and not the…

It is interesting that elsewhere on this site there seems to be a very pro Chinese made EV take (because they are cheap) but I feel like there should be some mention as to the working conditions used to produce those EV’s. This is an old report, but take note of the 2 female employees that jumped to their death in…

The one near me you have to provide a photo ID, but once you strip the copper down (they pay more if the insulation is removed) it all looks the same.
