Yeah, thats my issue with the i3...it is exhausting on a road trip or even just a short stint of a 75mph Houston highway.  Somehow what makes a Miata or Mini fun and engaging makes this thing terrifying and exhausting.

Well, if Ferrari exited, it would not be a Ferrari at all. At which point I would say yes, all but the diehard fans would likely lose interest watching Dallara-Mechachrome Racing Team go around a track, even if they kept it red. Same goes for a Multimatic-Ilmor Racing, or any other combination of non-road car…

And they have not been allowed in Indy since 2011. That hasnt stopped Chevy from winning 8 times since. There is no reason to believe that GM could not create its own engine for Formula 1 or forge a partnership like they winningly do with Ilmor in Indy.

I think the big name car manufacturers also bring a lot of fans in addition to straight cash.

I’ll restate: GM sells more trucks than Ford as it is and as was stated in the post that you responded to with “I don’t know”. No need to speculate, it is an objective fact.

Yeah you are correct. I used UK gallons, but not from Mazda’s website, and looking now it looks like I used the last gen number, so the 2.0 current gen gets 40.9. Still over 10% increase which is pretty good, especially if it includes any type of spirited driving on the track.

So it doubled its mileage estimates? That seems like the most impressive part. Couldn’t care less about its ability to include “track driving” in its 1,000 mile trip, especially as it doesn’t mention how hard it was being driven around the track...could have been the same as they drove it around the town square. Also…

That is completely irrelevant to what he said. As he stated, GM sells more trucks [than Ford Motor Company]. He never said Chevy [or GMC] sells more trucks [than the Ford brand].

I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many worn out and just all together over it faces than the hordes of people at Love Field when I finally landed Christmas Eve. My flight was “only” delayed by about 3 hours but most other people were already stuck or delayed by much longer.

Obviously Waymo and Cruise are in San Francisco and Phoenix for a reason, it would be interesting to see how they handle the same weather conditions.

The last sentence really sounded like it was written by AI. I got this by asking Chat-GTP to explain tail numbers. I did supply it with the N numbers and asked it to mention Musk’s and “the crown prince’s 747"as an example, but it supplied the model (a bit too in depth of an example for this post’s purpose) and the…

I think inertia is their safety device, though that doesn’t help when they roll.

It took 3 reported fires for the Bolt and 2 reported fires for the Silverado. Both used ZF supplied pretensioners. Ford Recalled over 2 million F series with the issue and used Joyson (Previously Takata). In both it seems like it is more of a shielding issue so it would vary model by model.

And of course the data I used to make the chart from Transportation.gov

The accountant in me needed numbers to go with this. So, here you all go.

Just make sure they are buckled. The seat belts would definitely lock up being unreeled that quickly, but an unbuckled passenger stands a chance of breaking a presumable very expensive screen and face.

I don’t think i have seen a kia dealership with the new logo yet. At best they look like the one below, which is fine but definitely not as nice as the lead photo.  Not to mention the fact that most look about 10 years older than this one.

I’m really trying to imagine what type of family you have to be in to just assume an 80k+ car with a bow is a Christmas present from a family member.

Google is free, but because it can be hard, heres the Toyota picture.

I won’t even complain about the slide show if you will just get me an answer as to WHY Toyota decided to put the plug in the inside, then advertise it for outside use. At least the PHEV should be able to house the plug but the J1772 or use an adaptor and use the J1772 as two way power?
