Is it like a foul ball where if I catch it I can keep it?  BRB going to NM.

Power/weight ratio is much more of a factor. Cars are getting heavier, especially since the advent of EV’s. The fact is you need more power to move a 5,000 lbs sedan that 15 years ago was a 3,500 lbs sedan.  I’d say a 0-60 of sub 8.5 seconds is all I need which is what every vehicle I’ve owned has been able to do. 

Yea they had a bunch of recalls.  I had a friend with one that had the engine shut down issue.  Lifelong Jeep owner and she had to call out of work multiple days because her new car wouldn’t start.  I believe that was the transmission software recall, which is different from the fire risk recall.  Needless to say

You know what else the Elantra N has that the GLI doesn’t a GD parking brake lever.  Every manual car I have ever owned has had a lever for the parking brake and having a little button next to the shifter is just silly.  Between that and the touch capacitive BS I’m not even looking at one of these.  If you told me in

Does your car have suspension and brake components?  How about tires?  No one is done with maintenance by buying an EV unless you lease and are just hopping into a new car every 3 years.

I feel like the battery management systems do a lot of this for you.  This trickles down from ICE engine management systems that are designed to protect the mechanical aspect of the car.  The term used is “Failure Effects Management” essentially if enough things fail the car will detune itself or pull power to protect

There are so many better BMW’s to be had for that amount of money.  ND.

Both the Roadmaster and the Crown Vic/modern Panther platform would be awesome. Honestly, BOF sedans/wagons should be a thing again.  You can probably get around some loophole and have them listed as trucks. 

You dahn’t wahnna go dahwn that road.

If visibility was the only performance metric I used then I guess I’d be jealous.  I feel like the new Prius going from 0-60 in 10.8 seconds to the low 7 second range while getting better mileage is worth the extra cash. 

Wait does Broccoli not have a title for the car either? It seems like the main issue is he was in possession of a car which he also does not have the title or bill of sale making it really hard to prove if he even owns the car.  If he had proof of ownership he could pretty easily file a police report and that would be

Streets closed pizza boy, find another way home.

What’s the weird little silver bag at the bottom of the frunk?

Triumph speed twin 1200?  The Triumphs are about the only bikes that look anything like the UJM’s of the 70's that have modern power output and a flat seat.

The biggest pull for the Tahoe and Yukon was always the small block V8.  It is the keep it simple stupid engineering principle that keeps people buying them.  Other manufacturers have gone to DOHC V8's then twin-turbo V6's, GM has stuck with the pushrod V8 and people will keep buying them forever.

This has got to be the next Bond car right?

Just wait until you see what they sell for used.

albeit with the last dozen or so of those miles power-limited by the car’s computer.”

Now you are speaking my language:
