Good catch, I ctrl-f’d on diff and missed that, thanks for pointing it out

trans is what adds a good chunk of the weight in this swap since the stock 6 speed is compact and light.  Also, CP if stock diff.  The stock s2k diff is weak. It needs an 8.8 swap which is a pain in the ass

I agree about the name, but last I checked Super Cruise isn’t more advanced than Tesla’s “full autonomous” pack which includes a significantly more powerful object recognition model. The big thing holding back works-in-most-fair-weather-cases autonomy isn’t technology it’s data and time to refine the driving models.…

you should carefully reread the post and especially this direct quote. “As much as I love the Stinger, I’m not driving it enough to justify that high monthly cost when a 440i could give me the same driving fun for much less monthly.” and “I’m looking to lower my monthly cost and get into something still fun to daily…

You’re being facetious right? Aftermarket parts on a CPO German car in NY? GTFO, the dealer is going to run you ragged on increased service times and hemming and hawing about how their techs only work on OEM components. Your life will be absolutely miserable if anything goes wrong.2 days for a specialist to come in…

The other implication is equally ridiculous - “I’m afraid to daily drive my Kia Stinger in Mahattan but I’d be fine daily driving a similarly priced BMW 440i that is more expensive to repair and more likely to break.”

I second this. They are extra terrible and the Outback is whatever thing is possibly worse than that. The best part is when you get in a used one and you’re not quite sure if it’s been in a severe accident or if that’s just how Subaru’s age (it’s probably the latter).

Everyone at the high end uses basically the same automotive leather and you’re always sitting on layers upon layers of UV protectant. (Most leather conditioners just oil up your clohtes). It’s all hard-tanned leather in modern cars with real leather. They don’t make it soft anymore because they want good wear…

wow you sound like a complete mess

The current f-trucks being problematic disposable shit-heaps sure has a lot of would-be electric competitors entering the market and trying to change things up though. I think it’s interesting, even if the form factor will likely end up as boring and same as every other truck.

im guessing you’re just goofing because of the turdy looking 300zx as a profile pic?

You’re correct, it’s very complex and not some big blame Boomers thing. The size of their population vs the baby bust gen is important, what the ‘08 crisis did to some of their wealth, and the labor force participation rate changes in demographics now vs 30-40 years ago. Boomers not turning over housing isn’t a bad…

There’s 1 other big difference - the boomer generation doing its whole self-assured-not-listen-to-anyone-about-anything thing has the potential to lead to a large economic crisis. A few things that might contribute: 1 - not leaving the workforce (LFPR shows boomers working significantly longer prior to retirement), 2…

It’s fucked up that people are agreeing with this because it’s all backwards and topsy turvy.

It’s some weird Philip K Dick simulacra world shit when your car plays recordings of previous engines it had to obfuscate its current reality.

Yankees fans are what would happen if you took a group of the angriest, shittiest Eagles fans, fed them a steady diet of Pizza, Cocaine, and Benzos, and took away their half-functional South Philly families, replacing them with divorced parents that loathed each other and their kids.

There’s a cold and cowardly…

He is too heavy and probably everyone knows this but they won’t immediately start messing with him... I wouldn’t be surprised to see him shut down and go on a conditioning program end of season into the offseason.

Does it have to be realistic?  If not, the Back to the Future II Delorean. It can fly, time travel, and can be powered by basically anything due to the Mr. Fusion. 

The cost and efficiency savings of driverless trucks will far exceed liability costs even with potential suits. Like any other technology that poses a danger (just as cars and raised speed limits did to those on horseback or walking) that must be weighed against what is gained. In this case, there’s no way we’re going…

The entire car should get a big red P for poor.
