How many of these concerned people as pedestrians are also the assholes not paying attention when they’re driving?

Are you confusing them with McLarens in general that aren’t Murray’s cars? If not, which Murray cars are you referring to? The Formula 1 cars for which reliability is not expected, the Rocket that there is only a handful of and is basically a 4-wheel motorcycle, or the McLaren F1, known for endurance race wins and

Underrated tires and usually can be had for a really good deal!

People who buy HR-Vs care about looks? It might look different, but the last one was also ugly as hell and sold well, so I’m in doubt of aesthetics being the reason for sales drop unless the eunuchs who buy these parade floats have a fondness for a very particular kind of ugly.

I guess that this is Dodge answers my following question, but why does this need to project outwards beyond some minimal pedestrian awareness requirement? If the driver wants sound feedback accompanying throttle input change, then the driver is the only one who needs to hear it on the inside of the car, not people

Sloth and Good Boy graphics. Not sure if I would keep it simple or cover it with different scenes. I guess it would depend on the cost since I’d have to get them printed on vinyl—painting them myself would be beyond my ability.

My old boss was bombarded with emails, so he would skim, missing important information even in simple bullet format. Adding dry humor to the emails made them longer to read, but he would actually read them. Small sample size, sure, but so’s the one used to reach the conclusion put up by The National Academy of “Science

Who is suggesting that? Is this a reply to someone else? The DeLorean—as commented multiple times here—was SS over composite.

So’s working with 3mm thick SS and the production of it. He could get the same effect from only using it as a decorative finishing skin. And it only eliminates a paint shop if it’s built in its own factory, not in one shared with cars that require painting. Not only that, they’re eliminating a cheap and easy way to

The panels are supposed to be 3mm thick. What cost savings are there other than with production ones self-imposed by the abjectly stupid plan in the first place? The whole idea for this should have been a throwaway drunken “what if?” conversation. If this asswipe just wanted SS (because of the common abbreviation’s

Because the stainless steel was only a finishing skin over composite with the DeLorean and Middle School Musk intends on building his stupertruck out of the stuff, including really thick body panels (I forget the measurement—3mm, maybe?—it was something absurd that made me laugh when I first read it).

And too dumb to look into how DeLorean used it—as a skin over composite panels.

I said the same thing when my Focus ST blew a smoke screen at 180k. No sign of head gasket, so figured turbo coolant seal. Replaced that—which took a month to get—and no fix. WTF, a cracked block?! How? Nope, found the TSB that lists 2.0 and under Ecoboost engines in pretty much every application except Focus ST (I

Damn, that’s rough! I get feeling bad about dumping it, but it’s not your responsibility to fight the billion-dollar corporation that screwed up to get them to make it right. Plus, the next person will probably never buy another Ford again after what’s coming, either. Ford had their chance to make it right and chose

Yeah, I was interested in a Maverick hybrid, but it seems the waiting list is measured in evolutionary timelines. Worked out well for me, but it wasn’t Ford who got my money (not that it was a high profit item).

Thieves with USB sticks rejoice! Finally something worthy of the termjoyride”!

Engine failure recalls, transmission recalls, and can be stolen by a 12 year old because they’re too cheap to put in tech even semi-competent makers have been using for years? I can’t imagine being the sucker whose insurance is now the amount of a cheap car payment only to be driving one of those bland POS. Not to

They’re just betting on an economic downturn to take hold before they spend the money then claim they can’t survive unless the government bails them out, which they will. Then they’ll take our money and use it to somehow find new ways to make air travel even worse.

Nobody is going to give their CUV up because of a theoretical loss of maybe 5% or so of range vs a lower version of basically the same thing. That electrics are so heavy and have even less personality than your average ICE only makes it more likely for people to keep buying CUVs. Even for me, if it weren’t for the

My idiot father survived driving at high speed off a mountain highway head on into a tree in an Opel GT while not wearing a seatbelt (which allowed him to end up in the passenger footwell so the engine and transmission could take the driver’s seat). Like this LLV, it is testament to luck, not engineering. Look at
