“So, we got a call for a RZR that’s broken down out at Sand Hollow...”

5th gear: I would want to rent a vehicle for a week to live with when I next go car shopping.

It kinda looks like a Rav-4. Here’s Mitsuoka’s chance to offer an EV version like the Buddy.

As a member of the target demographic during the height of the F&F car modding trend, I can assure you that unsprung weight never once entered anyone’s mind. If your Civic had 15"s, you wanted 17"s, because larger = better, as it was with exhaust tips, speakers, and air intakes that only sucked in hot air from inside…

So the FWD version will be the same HP as a Chevy bolt and around 600 lbs heavier? And the AWD version will add a mere 15 hp and put on a lot more weight? This thing better have Hyundai/Kia levels of efficiency (or better), because it is going to feel quite slow compared to almost every EV on the market today.  On…

If this thing ends up being a Civic Si with an Acura interior and ride, I’ll be perfectly happy with that.

Actually, the ’basket #5 is a screamin’ deal — pop-top PT Cruisers generally go for $6-8 grand. And up.

This might be one of the best unexpected things written here in a while.

Engineering by my little brother who DESTROYED MY METAL SLINKY!!!

Different take here. I regret none of my car purchases.

What’s crystal clear is that the surest fire way to get people to buy more efficient vehicles is to increase the cost to operate less efficient vehicles (i.e. raise the price of gas).

While fuel prices may be having some impact, the available inventory could be an issue as well. I’m a sales analyst for a major automaker. Earlier in the year we saw unusual increases in less than popular segments, simply because that’s what still had inventory. I’d imagine the used market could be seeing the same…

I am, to my shame, a 2-time loser. And as such, I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that no system exists outside of full automation that can keep drunks from driving while also not screwing over normal, rational drivers at the same time.

Yup.

I genuinely dont know what the best course of action here is.

Didn’t you read the article? It said that multiple users at a charging station reduce the current available, thus increasing charge time in inverse proportion. So if you want to get anywhere in a hurry, and what Porsche driver does not, you need to block off all the other EV owners from hooking up and slowing your…

A good set of snow tires is better than AWD with inadequate tires. A good 4wd/AWD system with proper tires is a game changer.

To maximize grip, start with winter tires.

Who’d have thought that treating employees like living, breathing people would result in better performance. Mindboggling!
