Yeah, seems more like a revenue driver rather than a feature to the actual driver.

Seems pretty naïve to think every electric car has the same ride and handling feel/quality, build quality, service network/accessibility. To say nothing of vastly different interior and exterior design philosophies.

I’ve spent so many hours in those chairs and never knew they were anything special...

I hope you eventually got some rest! It was great meeting you, Alanis, and Ralph!

At least they have the ≈ $50M constructor’s prize to pay it with.

You are talking about payload. Bed capacity is the volume the bed can hold.  Payload is the weight it can support.

No Dice.

How does bed capacity affect max towing?  Payload, sure, but capacity?

Who had a best lap time? You, Alanis, or Ralph?

Yes, it can. Since 2015, all ratings have adhered to SAE J2807.

On the flip side, there are people who give zero fucks about bed capacity to the point they replace (or order without) the bed with a flatbed to make towing just that much easier.

The SAE J2807 standard takes braking into account, as well as stability with the weight. These two things are likely the main limitations of a 25 year old frame and drum brakes. GM started using the standard in 2012 (MY13), Ford and Ram followed in 2014 (MY15)

Its not different at all. The dealership certainly did not get to put their car out there for free, it would be extremely naïve to think it was a free parking spot. Cadillac paid for advertising, and so did the dealership. The only difference is the scale of the event, and thus the cost of the sponsorship.

I agree that a low rake windshield would have fewer dead bugs. The article just doesnt support that.

The post went on to say that Morrilton Country Club promoted the truck as a winning prize without Jay Hodge Ford’s knowledge.

The biggest win for this is being able to meet up at pub or bar to watch with friends for the handful of races that we are allowed to do here in the US.

I am reading it as the more aero shape does not reduce the number of bugs, as thats the premise of the article and the paragraph before the expert quote askes the question “Could it be that more aerodynamic vehicles reduces the number of bugs your car kills?” 

The Cobalt SS (TC version) was actually a cool little car. The sedans looked very meh, but I actually thing the coupes look pretty good for their purpose.

Yes.

Curious. I’m not saying that you are wrong, but your anecdote seems to directly dispute the findings of an actual study.
