We are in the Automotive Golden Age because in 15 years the cars will be driving for us.

It’s catfish mouth. Gets your insults right.

Does anyone else find it sad that Roush sells stage one appearance kits? Seems like it would help the company bring in a few more dollars, but doesn’t it hurt the brand image? It looks good (like the stage one on current Mustangs) from afar, until you see “Stage 1" on the grill. Oh, it’s got the looks package.

Na, it’s just a Factory Five GTM used for testing.

I work with individuals who do Electromagnetic Effects testing. I wish they would help me put a small “microwave emitter” in the trunk of my car to knock out cars of idiots who are behind me. Essentially you could shut off any car you point it at. That you could use, and not get caught.

Maybe he is making a 24 Hours of Lemons racer?

My mother had the same one as in the lead picture, down to the color and the wheels.

A question for you those of you who had one. Did the brakes on these feel like stepping on a wet sponge? I drove my mother to St. Louis from KC in her Monte. The brakes were so bad I questioned if the car was operating correctly. In…

Now this is the sort of car that could get me into a Kia dealership. Lets hope it doesn’t turn out like the first gen Hyundai Genesis (Although those looked generic to begin with).

If this were from an action movie, there would be an explosion, fire, and one car would go airborne somehow.

You’re right. None of us want a minivan so why not so “full” van. Two-tone paint, ground effects, raised roof. Regency makes them.

I don’t do anything to the rental car that I don’t want to end up paying for. You know, like a responsible person.

Oddly enough my current DD is a former rental. I’m hoping for good karma on this one.

Thank you for that link, but the study didn’t include recycling of Lithium batteries for lack of data. I guess there is more TBD.

I didn’t show my figures, but...
Base model Tesla $108k + maintenance $10.5k = $118.5k

I was referring to environmental impact as a cost, not just a dollar amount. Like emissions for transporting fuel, refining it. Not just the car’s impact alone.

I remember reading somewhere that the environmental impact of building and driving a Teals Model S was like owning a Ford Focus. Even that estimate left out the creation and disposal of the batteries. I’d like to see a real apples to apples comparison of all the impacts. Add in transportation costs of oil too.

I wish I had more stars to give to you sir.

Those are cool, but in all honesty Legos are the way to go.

I usually buy the cheap wipers. After buying the Bosch for the wife’s car, I bought some for mine too. So far, the expensive ones have performed better for longer. I’m still waiting to compare financially the longevity of the expensive ones vs. buying a many sets of cheap ones.

I did a $100 cat-back muffler special on a Nissan Sentra once. It rusted and fell off the car within a year.
