$180k is a big ask from a new company. If they don’t make it past the giant hill to climb of not losing buckets of money, you are stuck with an expensive nearly unserviceable car like the folks that bought a Fisker in 2011-2012.

I’m confused. I thought the proper procedure was to jump out of the plane with a selfie stick and post it all on YouTube for views. Maybe he forgot to arrange for all the drones and other elements needed to make it look cool. I guess there is always next time. </sarcasm>

Currently those options are not installed on the car unless you pay for them. Because they cost money. And the article literally says this idea was brought on by “low take rate” items, meaning that they are installing on every car items that most people don’t want to pay for. The only way to pull that off is to raise…

You seem to believe that altruistic BMW would happily sell you a car at a loss if you don’t buy all these “options” which is utter bs.

I don’t exactly follow drag boat racing, but I’ve seen a lot of them flip over and heard of people being killed doing it. 600HP in a very light chassis on an unpredictable surface like water sounds like an excellent way to kill yourself. 

So many great options in this country and yet we go to a bunch of ISC owned tracks multiple times. Gotta love conflicts of interest...

Wait, traffic fatalities went up in 2021 over 2020 when we were all told to stay home in 2020? SHOCKER. The speed limit in Utah is 80 in many places. Ever notice how many articles you read about the massive uptick in fatalities because of the speed? Oh wait, you haven’t seen any? Hmmmmmmm

Ok, I’m old. That honestly did not occur to me because I have never owned a car with a digital gauge cluster. The analog dial of kmh is a dead giveaway... No idea which the Traverse has. 

I call BS on the Traverse. Canadian cars have a speedo in kilometers per hour. Either you didn’t notice and don’t think twice about driving 100 on local streets, or you clearly knew this car was Canadian. Perhaps you didn’t know it has not warranty, but that’s a different issue. 

Just look at it. 

I completely disagree except for McLaren and Haas. Maybe Mercedes. 

The ostensible reason is to even the pay among the drivers and make the best drivers available to smaller teams. But let’s be real, there are a grand total of two drivers per team and a max of 24 total out of a field of thousands who want to be there. Finding a good driver for a price you afford is within reach of…

At target a few weeks ago I saw a guy driving a kinda beat up old Saab as his daily driver. He showed up while I was admiring it and it genuinely is his daily driver, he likes the fact that it isn’t the same as what everyone else is driving. You CAN daily them, but you gotta be committed. 

Lets be clear, the problem with Driven wasn’t the basic plot outline...

Every car mentioned here, and in the comments, is better than a first generation Nissan Leaf, a Fiat 500e or any other electric car that has a range of less than (or near to) a hundred miles.

If he’s been on a boat at all, a three day booze cruise where you get blackout drunk the entire time is absolutely what he considers cruising.

The airlines brought this on all of us by charging for checked luggage.

Any list of best drive songs that doesn’t have Magical Sound Shower from Outrun at the top is objectively wrong. 

Maybe they should pivot to manufacturing monorails. Good thought!

The grid was PACKED for starters. Martin didn’t handle that encounter particularly well, clearly he got it wrong, it’s not Paolo’s fault. He did apologize, but he could have simply added “Thank you for your time and good luck” and the whole interaction would have been charming instead of awkward.
