I’m often more concerned about a car with less miles than one with more.  Blackstone made a novel comment on my last oil report for my 04 Viper with 123k+ miles that it came back cleaner after 7500 miles on a change than many other examples with less miles.  Admittedly I’m pretty light on the majority of the miles as…

I think the adhesive also provides flex, so the glass doesn’t crack as the body flexes beneath it.  Glass is often stronger than it’s given credit for, but still seems like it could be an iffy situation to directly bond them.  Probably sweet for cellphones though, assuming you never want to take it apart again.

Honestly, I think having a “slower” car can make for some more fun tracks.  You can get away with silliness like this when the cars can actually drive under 50 mph and aren’t always charging around at triple digits.  Both have their place, but it is fun to see the wild setups they’ll run with slower cars.

I figured a fair portion is probably performance and aerodynamics, but you’d still think they’d have some flair in there.  I guess they keep the Aston grille opening to some degree.

Am I the only one that thinks all these cars are getting too similar looking?  This feels a lot like a Ferrari and Ford GT mashed together to some degree.  Not that they design is bad looking, more just that it seems like all the top end cars are starting to evolve a common design language.  It’s weird to say it’s…

I’m beginning to wonder if EV power claims are getting to the point of “pre-net” HP ratings of the 70s.  I’m sure those motors are rated to produce that power in peak intervals that are fairly short, but I also have a feeling the controls software won’t let you near that power level terribly easily.  The reason? …

So really, these Aerotech motors weren’t truly Quad 4s, but as Oldsmobile puts it in its press release about the record-setting cars, the engines were “architecturally identical.” This means they had the same 100 mm bore centers as the production engine, and they used the same dual overhead cam setup with four valves…

Lawlz, this is my favorite answer so far.  I think the tire rating is probably the real answer, but this one is too good.

Feels like 150-160 kmh would have been the more conservative number to pick then.  50 mph over any posted speed limit just seems excessive to me if they are talking about safety.

Corvette taillights?  I dig the turn signals in the rear though, that’s actually pretty clever.

I wonder why they picked 112 mph, aside from it being a nice round 180 kph?  Germany is pretty much the only place to legally drive over say, 85 mph.  Feels like limiting it closer to 80-90 would make more sense.  Unless the comment about the active safety systems not working at high speeds has a limit of around that…

I want to put snow tires on my Viper so badly just to play in a parking lot.  I’ve actually looked into how I could do it.  If I have 4 front rims I can get some Porsche snow tires in 285 section width that would keep the car from looking completely silly.  Ground clearance could be interesting though.  Guess I could…

One word: dope. In a good way, like the 90's dope, not a drug reference.

Now to everyone who says “I’ll trade in my $5,000 daily driver for one of these because it’ll save me a fortune!”, let’s look at those numbers again. $1400 a year savings, that’s significant. But take the price of the cars and look at that again. If you can/do get the Tesla for $35k, and take $5k off for your trade…

So this is the browser game from back when I was in high school (15 years?), but done up pretty with micro-transactions now?

I think the other commenter’s point though is that points can sometimes give you a better (or worse) return in dollars depending on what you are using them for. If 1 point is 1 dollar but I can buy $5 worth of stuff with 1 point if I buy it from X vendor, then “points” are the better option.  If it’s just fixed dollar…

Fair point.

Neutral: Hopefully any of my cars, lol.  Been driving my wife’s 09 Malibu for most of winter, but not necessarily for reasons you would think.  The weather has been on and off here in Kansas, so definitely using it for snow duty, but she put her back out a few months ago, so my low slung/rough riding vehicles don’t…

I guess.  Though with so few players in the superluxe market it would seem like you have a better shot at someone actually buying it.

Lol, never thought of it that way, but I guess that makes some good sense.  Maybe the two Hispano-Suizas companies can live in peace together.  One makes opulence, the other makes sports cars.
