The real question is: Are we tired of winning yet?

By a bit, we are just at 1% right now, coming from 0.75%. 10 years ago we were at 5.25%. Slowly might actually be the best solution.

Car loans still topped 1 trillion last year and are growing, but the subprime part is “only” 230 billion. This is comparatively small to the housing crisis , which had 1.3 trillion in subprime mortgages.

You have identified a very problematic point in the equation. The FED.

That would actually be a really cool limit.

Tesla already has some incredible high milage roadsters and Model Ses. The improvement from roadster to Model S was huge, so the Model 3 will be even better. Do you know how much an engine replacement for your car costs? I don’t and I didn’t really care when I bought it.

Their midsize luxury car is the Ghibli. They won the title of worst compact, midsize, midsize SUV and midsize luxury.

If you drive your manual car regularly, you don’t actually need to shift down to a lower than optimal gear, to avoid speeding. You can already hear how fast you are going, if you keep in mind in which gear you are in right now.

A 911 Turbo S does it in 10.8 @ about 123mph. Compared to RWD cars that do the quarter mile in that time, McLaren 650S, it has a low trap speed, but compared to the GTR, the 911, or other AWD cars that do the quarter mile in about the same time, the trap speed about right.

One thing is for sure, if you talk to a couple you don’t know, don’t just assume the man is more knowledgeable.

Them maybe going bankrupt here in the US only to sell they IP for pennies on the $ to another Chinese firm that will then build their cars?

It worked perfectly. This is a Swedish team building exercise. Maybe you know the one where you let yourself fall backwards into the arms of a colleague. In the Swedish version you dive into a colleague.

What if it hits a dark skinned white guy wearing khakis and a blue raincoat? Or a pale skinned black guy wearing a purple jumper?

I bet it will soon be able to detect colors! Ford really is on the forefront of technology!

Well the story is a bit different. While both repaid their debt, Tesla and GM, only one of them had to take it because of personal stupidity.

But if I wrote an article about bees being plants, because I typed “peas” in the google search box and read the first article I found, would you still defend me?

The thing is that this has been researched over and over again, by people we used to call scientists. Maybe not for catalytic converters, but for many other things like electric vehicles for example. They always come to the conclusion that they pollute way less than todays cars, be it electric vehicles, hybrids, cars…

The oil path on my Alfa 156 was different. It went sump > pump > hard-to-say > 50% exhaust 50% straight to the ground.

On the surface that would make sense. Mazda is too small to invest in upcoming technologies and FCA is too broke to do it. But I am not so sure if that merger would really work. The mindsets would be immensely different at Mazda and FCA and FCA would probably still have to kill some of it’s brands to survive.

Koenigsegg is already working with different OEMs. I think this is where a big chuck of their money actually comes from. Their “Freevalve” engine, for example, was developed for a Chinese company named Qoros.
