Missed opportunity to unveil on July 4th...

It seems like they missed an opportunity to reveal it on America’s birthday. Fireworks, hotdogs, american flag shorts, and corvettes..............right? lol

Darn computers, always doing what you told them to do and not what you wanted them to do.

As a software engineer, I still have to manually enter the correct number of parenthesis and semicolons. If I make a variable called “timeNow” and then later refer to it as “timenow”, computer freaks out.

It’s posts like this that remind me there is a big gulf between the Jalopnik front page and Oppositelock. The former owner/builder of this creation posts on Oppo and I recognized it immediately... but judging by the comments I’m one of only like 3 people posting here that knew that.

This car belonged to a member of the Oppositelock Kinja community. The car was long sold before any car site picked it up (hence the deleted ad), so it was NP to someone.

I believe 99 times out of 100 it’s some variation on “the car goes or I go.”

I woke up this morning and wondered what car would do well in the Gambler 500. We have a winner. Who else wants to go?

The ad is deleted because the car actually sold a couple days before different car sites started sharing it.

A Subaru outback gets you a long way, and I think they are wonderful vehicles for getting out into nature, and even out into the backcountry. In Oregon, Washington and Idaho however, I was reaching the limit of what my Subaru could to in order to get to the places I wanted to go. Washouts, fallen boulders, water…

The whole “compensating for something” joke is just wayyyyy over played out at this point. Let’s be honest, is it still enjoyable to make fun of people for a deformity that they cant do anything about?

That next cartel meeting is going to be a bit awkward.

Well, if you don’t want a Miata, I can’t really help you, but this might:

I would hesitate to consider anything running under 11mins as “lumbering”. Having driven that road myself - that’s f*ckin fast

Definitely can't wait to see it lumber up the hill.

You could go full steam-punk Elon Musk and use those inductive strips as virtual rails for self driving cars. Sort of like that idea from the 90s where they were going to use embedded magnets in the roadway as guideways. 

It’s funny, because this scenario is basically Ford resurrecting the second generation Escape

The swelling comes later.

I think they should call it the Mustang III.

Good news, but it’s actually closer to 320 miles range per EPA standards. The 370 is the new largely-European standard called WLTP. Better than nothing though.
