As a boomer myself, it’s heartwarming to see such an honest approach to the most universal of all human conditions: our mortality. What an amazing human being. He really demonstrated what it’s all about. He lived it.

Patently untrue

OTOH there’s a really good used book store in Omaha.

The Mr2 Spyder was a solid competitor to the Miata in both performance and price, but completely flopped because it was so radically different from the second gen MR2.

Imma say..... the RMS Titanic. Besided that one tiny flaw, that foo would’ve prolly been a badass ship. It was just before its time* I suppose.

Um... I dont even know what USP is.  Care to enlighten us in the first sentence maybe?

175 mile range, but the best I saw was 131 miles, averaging 7km/kWh.

If you were to buy 5556 lbs of grey poupon in 8oz jars from Wal-Mart, expect to pay $31,326.32

I hate to be “that guy” especially since I drive the Ford equivalent of it, but I think it’s the WRX STI. It’s an awesome car and I love seeing them on the road don’t get me wrong... but it hasn’t fundamentally changed since they introduced it in 2004 and its value prop in that time has gone down because of it. New…

The Lexus LFA. I absolutely ADORE them (I had the engine noise as my ringtone for a few years), but considering what they cost new vs. its competition, it was ludicrously overpriced. IIRC it was so over-engineered that Lexus lost money on every single one. 

“ also because we have a moral responsibility to all children in the next generation”

I miss my i-MiEV so much. I was going to drive that thing until the heat death of the sun.

As an engineer who has designed many things from many materials over decades, it is my firm conclusion that steel is superior in almost every regard. And there is an alloy for every need.

Max, that's FANTASTIC work. Well done.

British Airways managed to operate the “too expensive” Concorde at a profit every single year it was in operation almost entirely because of the JFK-Heathrow route. The Concorde was horrible, just completely useless, as a subsonic aircraft, which is what the U.S. forced it to be at all times over land. The government…

I released a bottle full with NOx in my Taycan and it didn’t go any faster. What a drag!

These are incredible numbers from a stock turbo. My guess is, with an aftermarket tune, and a larger turbocharger, this car might do two seconds, flat. I’m not sure how much these turbos are tuned for low-end, off the line torque, but my gut tells me with a quarter mile time like that, they have to come on boost…

Do also dislike the digital images of other analog gauges in the car?

So here’s the good news: if you are reasonably clever, you can build one yourself for less with a vehicle that’s available for sale in the U.S.

You can get a camper top conversion for a Ford Transit Connect for around 8-9k. You can get the ford Transit itself for about 28k brand new if you want some bells and…
