Did NASCAR pay you guys for coverage today? Holy shit. One article after another about the same bullshit “race”.

Not really. Other than handsfree phone and navigation, it’s all pointless, distracting garbage for sufferers of connectivity ADHD.

I dream of a 1971 Dodge Polara, but with a modern drivetrain. Imagine an ICON style rebuild of this. Sigh.

I thought that Sierra was awfully American. Out here, 2000 miles west, where the mountains actually are, we’d either rent a helicopter to fly up, or politely ask a passing grizzly if they’d mind terribly giving us a piggyback.

Just as a counterpoint, fighter planes don’t have giant rubber donuts on the outer edges to compensate for. I agree with everything else you’ve said though.

Precisely. If it doesn’t hurt, you’re not going fast enough.

And, it weighs the same as a 1982 Oldsmobile 98 Diesel, that the same ex hot chick on welfare drove to Walmart.

Yeah, but did they fix the oil consumption problem?

It lacks the level of subtlety is deserves. Lose the silly shifter and stereo. Put on some period correct wheels and for gawd’s sake, clean up that engine bay. Finish the hvac! And a 700R4?! Welcome to 1998.

It’s akin to a full size version of my hobby room, where I build RC cars. Parts come in, cars go out.

I have the urge to go out and find some guy with a man bun/lumberjack beard combo, so I can strangle him.

10,764 sq/ft is rather small, even for a boutique manufacturer. Are we sure this shouldn’t be square meters, or maybe just the final assembly area? To give perspective, that area is about the size of two school gymnasiums. (Single basketball court with sidelines.)

Stick your head out the window and see if it hurts when a bee smacks into your forehead.

It’s interesting. I’d de-goofy it a little by losing the wing and tucking the intercooler someplace much less silly. But the turbo/muffler combo is d ad on. Migh want some warning stickers though. Grabby hands at cars meets are sure to get cooked

I believe the Porsche option to wrap the slats in the AC vents is much more frivolous.

Wastegate/overpressure valve. If the throttle gets closed at high rpm, or the engine is pushing too much gas for the turbos to handle, the pressure has to go somewhere, so it doesn’t spool the bejesus out of the turbos, which are now might be deadheading against a closed throttle valve, so they, in turn, blow pressure…

Ah, the hood popping fun of old cars. Had that happen in a 67 Volvo when I was on the highway. Driving, driving, driving, BLIND!

Why is it there are so many photos of drivers in semi-autonomous cars with their arms crossed and a smug, dickbag grin on their face?

Ah. So that’s what my wife got to see when both my arms were split open, along with eight similar wounds on my legs. Damn, that’s creepy.

Pretty cool, but I’d have reservations about road tripping. Not sure how many fasteners were actually fastened. Love the rolled sheet metal hinges for all the opening, though.
