Here in Las Vegas/Henderson, it seems like 1/3 or more of all Amazon delivery vehicles are Rivian vans. They’re awesome to see, and one benefit a lot of people may not think about is how super quiet they are, which as someone who works from home can attest, it’s not a minor thing.

It’s shell companies all the way down

Does that make Ferraris Glorified Chryslers, or Audis, Porsches, Lamborghinis, or Bugatti glorified Volkswagens?

That’s like suggesting a golf cart for beginner drivers instead of a car. They might have the same amount of wheels, but they are worlds apart in their execution, usefulness, and applications. When I commuted to work on a motorcycle, even todays best e-bike wouldn’t have been a viable replacement... since, ya know,…

If I understand correctly, you’re suggesting someone get an e-bike (or e-scooter) with a max speed of no more than 28 mph, and no ability to go on most roads, over a equally priced, much faster, more capable motorcycle because of “clutch and shifter” difficulty? That’s preposterous. 30 minutes in a parking lot, and a…

I loved this plane in the Rocketeer... man, I haven’t thought about that in years. Thanks for the nostalgia. 

It’s in the works and expected to open in 2027... but a high speed train is like fusion power... always 10/20/30 years away. Granted, this looks like it’s actually happening.

My parents have a Purple 2002 Lexus SC430 that has seen better days (like when it was still iron ore), and I would love to get them a new LC500 convertible. Unfortunately, I’m not quite in the position to part with $105,000.

I lived in LA and I loved taking the Redline from Los Feliz to Downtown in 30 minutes, and when they opened up the Expo line, it made getting to Santa Monica SOOO much better than driving across the city. Sure, it took 45 minutes more compared to driving with no traffic, but there was ALWAYS traffic, and that drive…

The reference to the Model S makes me think you assume this is an EV. It it not. This is powered by a Ford V8 and the choice of a six-speed manual or 10-speed automatic, and based on that, and the small form factor, I assume weight isn’t going to be much of an issue here. 

Mazda is seriously missing out by not offering the AWD Turbo Mazda3 with a manual. I would seriously consider picking one of those up if it was available.

I have a 2021 JGC Trail Hawk

Of the dozens of model cars I have, this 1:87 scale McLaren F1 is my favorite. My older brother bought it for me on his trip to Germany back in 1995, and the tiny size combined with the exquisite detail make it amazing.

bro, the name of the website is literally at the top and in the link you posted, how did you spell it wrong?

Mine is Grand Cherokee, so no angry muppet face for me. 

My Jeep has this feature, but some jack-wad software engineer thought it would make sense to have BOTH mirrors do this. I’m sure there’s probably no good reason to have a drivers side mirror when I’m parallel parking... except, ya know, to see the cars coming up behind me to make sure it’s still safe to proceed.

My wife and I had movers set up to help us go from LA to Las Vegas in late June of 2021, and we would travel with our two cats and our small dog in our Jeep Grand Cherokee. Everything went to shit the day before, when we realized the contract allowed the movers to show up within 3 days of the date on the contract,…

I love Hockenheim, it reminds me of freshly poured cement (it also looks like “Pastel Black” ((matte white)) by dbrand). Monaco blue is nice, but looks best on Alpina cars.

I’ve been looking at one of these as my second car since I sold my track Miata back in July. This transmission, and color (or preferably the orange) are the only options I demand. That said, I’ve heard that there were some issues with the motors on the pre-2018 models. I can’t recall what they were, but this price is…
