I need someone’s face making a shocked expression in the thumbnail. Without that, I have no concept of how shocked I’ll be by the content of the video.

I’m considering replacing my cheap V-Strom commuter with something electric. I looked into Zero this year and things are a bit bleak - losing dealerships, hard to get parts, hard to get service. At least Harley will be around until the last of the Boomers die off...

Like you said, you really do have to sit in a car to know if it will fit, especially as height tells you nothing about legs vs. torso which is critical for good fitment! I’m 6'5" and I do NOT fit in a Miata, my knees are on the passenger dash of an ND. I can drive an ND, but my knees are rubbing the steering wheel

It’s not showing up on Ford of Germany’s site, but I did find a Ford EU document showing a couple thousand Explorers sold in 2021.

given the geniuses that thought Mustang Mach-E was a good idea.

Which buyers are getting confused? The ones in Europe that can only get the new EV Explorer and not the ICE Explorer? Or the ones in the US that can only get the ICE Explorer and not the EV Explorer?

It changes color depending on the lighting. How does that pro not outweigh almost any other possible con?

For the same horsepower and torque, you can make the turbo’d engine smaller and lighter than a naturally aspirated one. I thought everyone knew that.

Why do you think that adding components to an engine will make it lighter? What powerband and power figures do you want from an engine that you can’t get with an existing NA motorcycle engine? Turbos are nice when you want the good fuel economy of a tiny engine but sometimes you need power. Motorcycle buyers (at least

Why do cops love the Punisher skull so much?

Did you misread the prompt as “vehicles that don’t match what I think their badge indicates they should look like”?

The ‘05-’09 looked cool until the ‘10 refresh came out and make the old one look dorky. Then when the new engines came out in 2011 and the V6 was just as fast as the old V8, things got even worse for that generation.

Lately they’ve been doing a major refresh and then a mid-cycle visual refresh. I’m wondering if they don’t have the mid-cycle already designed at the time of the major refresh and they make the initial design just a little dorkier so that 3 or 4 years in they can make it look super cool and keep sales up.

Gatekeeping here, but “car guy” as in “car guy” or “car guy” as in “buys a Corvette and punches it in a straight line every once in a while and thinks it’s fast”?

I assume “Flock” is making a wolf-sheep reference like all of those deluded blue line people believe.

Boat culture is wild. I keep seeing a boat for sale pop up on Marketplace that retailed for over $300,000 a year ago and the guys is trying to sell it for $200,000 now. I just can’t imagine losing $100,000 in a year over a dumb toy. The guys appears to own some kind of local HVAC business or something so he’s got

You’re right - when I was doing the build and price I thought it was Limited but it’s Platinum, which makes Dodge’s selection of a precious metal as a trim name even more me-too-y.

Is it more expensive than a Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country or a Ford F-150 Platinum Plus? Yep; and the Tungsten is also more powerful, and better equipped.

Maybe you have more faith in dealership service departments than I do, but as soon as someone’s been poking their dirty gloves around inside the battery I’m out.
