Or Caesar...

FWIW those alloy wheels are also forged, not cast.

Further, do you think the powers that be will allow your AV to connect to the network and operate upon the public roads if you owe child support, back taxes, unpaid judgements, parking tickets, library fines...the list goes on and on.  AV is the government control class’ wet dream.

Actually, this would’ve been the next Grand National.

Yes, if Mike Myers is your target buyer (the SNL member, not the crazed killer).

No, this was literally on its way over as a Pontiac—far beyond preliminary spit balling—when the rug was pulled out from under the entire division.

How about every concept car from Cadillac in the last two decades?

Yeah, IMO the gold wheels thing only works on Subarus...and that’s only because of the heritage aspect, not their objective aesthetic. On anything else it looks like some custom job gen’d up for a rap video.

Not always. It may not be difficult, in the sense that you can call a competent electrician out and he can have it done in an hour or two. But have you priced copper wire lately? Depending on the location of your panel and where you want to locate the outlet, the cost for the wire run can easily top $1000. And that’s…

Neutral: Easiest TMS question in a long time. When full charge times approximate that of a gasoline fill-up (say, 10 minutes) all other questions, concerns, naysaying, excuses, EV-splaining go away, and the revolution will catch on.  We’ll be there in 5-7 years.

Asian companies don’t have to contend with the UAW and 50 years worth of unfunded pension liabilities.

I’ve been saying it since this all-eggs-in-the-SUV-basket strategy was first announced—It’s 2007 all over again. And unfortunately for Ford and GM, it soon will be 2009...

This is self-fulfilling, cart-before-the horse, marketer bullshit. Just like dispensing with manual transmissions and then lamenting “no one’s buying them”. Exactly what customer base is driving this demand? Rappers are a minuscule cohort. I know of exactly *ZERO* SUV soccer moms who even know what size their wheels…

But those facts were never in dispute and that was certainly *not* your original point. You posited that it was somehow a logical fallacy for someone to find silly all the steps NASCAR takes to “pretend” its vehicles are something they aren’t, if that same person doesn’t also criticize IndyCar for not making its racers…

“Its stylizes its cars to have the stickers of the respective car on the front and back.”

Yup, exactly. And some people find that silly.

LOL...I’m not mad about anything. I couldn’t care one way or the other about motorsports—just not really a big interest of mine. Just my analysis of why some people wish NASCAR was more true to what it pretends to be, in contrast to open wheels racers.

And I think a better culinary analogy is irritation that the McRib…

However, no Indy car pretends to *be* a car that you can buy at a Chevy dealer, in name and appearance. I think it’s the poser aspect of it that irritates folks, down to the fact that the “S” in NASCAR still stands for “stock.”

“That’s a lifetime.”

It certainly was for Elaine Herzberg.
