A handful of plastic geegaws stuck on the worst car from the 1970s (many of them missing) perfectly fits the definition of “lipstick on a pig”. I don’t care if this “runs and drives fine” (oh come on, Vegas never ran and drove fine), this is overpriced by about $5400. ND.

4xe? Nah. Where they missed the boat is not offering a wood grain trim package. (Or maybe I spoke too soon.)

A little closer to the Buick Lucerne.

While whining about the lack of a frunk, at least you didn’t add “like every other EV on the market” as one reviewer did. The FWD EVs don’t have frunks and they are at least as numerous as the RWD models with frunks. As a feature, a frunk is kind of cool but it’s about equal parts useful and gimmicky.

Early in my career it was clear we needed a second car, my work car, and we didn’t have a lot of money to work with. I ended up buying a ‘69 Renault 16 that was beyond the end of its useful life but was only $300. The paint was oxidized, rust was creeping around all the edges and the top of the rear seat back had dry…

Among the hurdles already noted, think through all the logistical challenges. A typical gas station sees hundreds of cars a day. Are you going to let the teenager at the Quik-Stop change your battery? What kind of facility will you need to store them and recharge them? A recharging facility with multiple batteries in…

In Car&Driver’s report on their long term Tesla Model 3 they paid $0.26/kWh for Supercharging versus a national average of $0.136/kWh residential rate.

We’re looking at hitting Studebaker in South Bend, Gilmore museum in Hickory Corners, Henry Ford/Greenfield Village, then either the Ford Piquette Avenue plant or Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg + National Automotive and Truck museum behind Auburn or maybe go for broke and hit them all. And maybe even a stop in Ysilanti at the…

“. . . and an expected lack of profitability are to blame . . .”

Thank you. Almost every reviewer of Chevy’s updated Bolt lineup has complained there is no AWD option. That’s nonsense. I’ve lived in the upper midwest snow belt all my life and am speaking from experience: you absolutely do not need AWD or 4WD to get through a winter here. (One of the best winter cars I ever owned…

A friend and I are looking at two possibilities. A repeat of my border-to-border tour of original 1926 alignments of U.S. 51 through Wisconsin or a trip from southern Wisconsin to some of the car museums in Michigan and Indiana. 

Thing is, Studebaker built actual Conestoga wagons before it started building automobiles.

From the Cambridge dictionary. This usage is hardly unique to the auto industry.

“Move fast and break things.” Got it.

One verb, one noun that is the object of the verb. I don’t see a problem here.

1st Gear:

So what if that rear tire picked a sharp piece of road detritus and then flung it into the fuel tank? Or perhaps that Renault couldn’t go fast enough for that to be a problem.

Let me guess. Porsche has set up a small research center in Iowa to study this “new fuel” further. /s

I bought a used 2001 F-150 super cab some years ago. We were going to sell our house and build a new one but would have to move into an apartment for about year in between so this involved making two moves, much of which we would be doing ourselves. Plus, we would be putting a lot of stuff in storage while we were in…

So glad this is in Canada and impossible to get to because this kicks every ounce of my better judgement to the curb. NP all the way.
