This is fair. My argument based on the anecdotal evidence of 1 is as ludicrous as Bradley’s. It was a visceral knee jerk reaction to a dumb statement.

Cycling is as dangerous as you make it. And as Saigon_Design points out these drivers are likely adrenaline junkies and could be quite possibly sending it over shit they…

Riding bicycles is incredibly fucking dangerous

You know what would be even cooler than a clutch on an EV?

A clutch on a CT4.

I mean, Mach-E is a fine name. They should have just stopped there.

I’m in a suburb of Chicago. Homes fitting your description with 2k square feet on 1/4 acre lots start around $600k.

Ha. This article just goes to remind me of how old the family fleet is. Other than the smoking bits and the crank windows, our cars have just about everything on this list. Model years 2023, 2011, 2006, and 2006.

Before we bought one of the ‘06 cars (that’s the kids car) we test drove an ‘18 Kia Rio with a 6 speed…

Fortunately, it looks like that system never made it to the R171 chassis, but I’ll probably pull the negative lead anyway.  Just in case.

I’m about to order parts to do the brakes on my wife’s ‘06 SLK. Pads, rotors, brake hoses with shipping is about $400. Figure my time is worth another...I dunno...200 bucks?

When it’s clean, and in the sun with the top up, and you squint really hard, it looks like an SLR.

Or get a low mileage, late-model year F82, avoid the beaver grille and maybe have a few benjamins left over for upgraded brakes and tires.

I’ll take “Obvious Shit for $500, Alex”

So it comes back to what I’ve commented on before for other articles.

Infinitis (with perhaps the exception of the latest gen QX60) are the Dollar General of luxury cars. Neither good, nor bad, just meh.

Man, so many articles in the past few months shitting all over Infiniti, yet here is an article saying “Turns out the Q50 isn’t so bad after all”

Which is it?

Yeah, that’s a Canadian thing.  In the U.S. you’re only required to show a photo ID to TSA at the security check point, you’re not at all required to show ID to the gate agent when you board the aircraft.

Just like those awesome EVs from China, eh?

I see what you did there

Not taking sides here, but as a former UH-60 crewman, I’m curious as to how it was camouflaged. The aircraft themselves are typically uniformly painted OD green in a flat finish. I’ve hung camo over a Blackhawk in the field during FTXs and it was always green/tan/black to go along with the woodland camo theme we had…

The tech seems cool, but not sure what the point of all the bullshit ICE sounds is going to be. Want your car to sound like an angry turbo-4? Buy an car equipped with an angry turbo-4

Although...if they can add those sounds, can they make it sound like a 6.0L v12?  Because I would do that and giggle all day long.

I will say, 300k miles (or even km!) is an insane amount of miles on a single clutch. Mostly highway miles, yes?

I mean, yes and no. There is a big difference between a 3.0L turbo I6 burning gasoline and a 15.0L turbo I6 burning diesel. Semi-truck engines also have jake brakes which passenger car engines do not.

Regardless, I’ve put over 90k miles on a clutch with regular rev-match down shifting and engine braking and overall…
