“Chevrolet Cobalt: Slower Than Walking, But At Least You’re Sitting Down”

This would be awesome if it didn’t have the fucking angry-headlights grille.

I dunno. On a boat?

That electric Defender is badass. I remember seeing one like it in an old Fifth Gear segment.

Let’s see what we have in Victoria, BC. These are $500 CAD, not US. I found quite a few - you can decide which one is the coolest.

All cars have electrical systems. It’s not that hard to make them waterproof.

It’s a nice looker, to be sure. Not my favorite car for looks, but nothing wrong with it.

Do you really think a couple of full-throttle runs down a drag strip are going to drain a massive Tesla battery?

Definitely both. The overall shape of the Model S hasn’t really changed since its debut in 2012. Much like the Dodge Challenger, it got a minor facelift a couple of years ago, but the lines are pretty much the same. It’s a nice looking car, to be sure, but not nice enough to still stand out after 7 years. Honestly, I…

Funny, but if the Tesla has Ludicrous Mode, dropping it off a cliff would actually be slower than driving it. An object accelerating at 1 G (the speed of falling) hits 60 mph in about 2.7 seconds, whereas a P100D can do it in 2.4.

No surprises here. The Tesla has 110 more pound-feet of torque. That’s an entire Miata.

I don’t see how any of your logic fits together in any way. What does the reliability of Toyota trucks have to do with electric propulsion? Heck, even a Hilux would actually be more reliable with an electric motor swap. Electric cars can wade super deep because there’s no air intake to worry about.

That’s a Land Cruiser.

Alanis...here’s the thing. I like you. You’re one of my favorite writers on this site, and I agree with most of your car-related opinions. But this...I’m sorry, my moral code will not permit me to agree with this.

No.

How about an electric car? As long as his commute isn’t ridiculously long, a used Leaf would suit his needs perfectly. It’s practical, fun to drive and very painless to drive in stop-and-go traffic.

Exactly. Women have been expected to identify with male leads in movies for the past century or so - is it really that much of a burden to ask male audiences to identify with a woman for once?

The original Mary Poppins was the first movie I ever saw...part of. I loved the musical numbers as a kid, but somehow I still haven’t seen the whole thing.

They did the same thing with the recent Christopher Robin movie. What the hell, Disney? Are movies not allowed to be cheerful anymore?

As a fellow person who loves Mustangs despite their reputation: all I can say is this:
