I had a Qashqai rental in Ireland and it was fine. Inoffensive. Not a good fit for the US market, though.

I’m sure that some Intel i7 processors could be repurposed as power-window controllers.

I mean, personally I had a hard time beating Super Mario Odyssey; had to give up Skyrim less than 10 minutes in because it was completely impossible; and had to give up Spider Man: Miles Morales about 20% of the way through because even on Friendly Neighborhood level I couldn’t progress. So, “difficult” is subjective.

Wonder how long it’s gonna take for these supply chain issues to get back together. Feel like it’s going to require a complete rethinking of “just-in-time” production methods.

The California Route 1 was, as a practical matter, the only way to get the extended-range battery without springing for the GT, as I’ve never seen any other Mach E’s with an extended range battery available on lots anywhere.

Not really big enough for big guys. Payload is 1,295 pounds, which means that if you’re heavier than 323.75 pounds, you’re putting more weight on the front driver’s side suspension than it’s designed to handle. Ask me how I know, having daily-driven my Mustang for the last 8 years, with a 560 pound cargo limit, and…

The Taos starts at $24,155. But, like you said, I’m sure none of them are actually getting sold for anywhere near that.

All Korean models available in the US with a starting price under $25k:

Also, this is the complete list of vehicles sold by American manufacturers for the 2023 model year that have a starting price of less than $25,000:

Keep in mind that the most popular “passenger” vehicles in the US are full-sized pickup trucks, which easily run into the $60,000 range in midlevel trims with typical options.

I get upset about the existence of dually F250's and Hummer EV’s, which clearly aren’t for me. No reason not to get upset about this vehicle which is, apparently, not for anyone. Anything you can do in this car you’d be better off doing with a bicycle.

1974 Cadillac Fleetwood 75. At 252.2 inches, the longest passenger car ever sold by a mainstream American manufacturer. 64 inches of rear shoulder room. 8.2 liter V8 making 190 hp and 360 lb-ft of torque; every imaginable luxury option; seating for up to 9. This car screams “1970's” louder than any other car possibly…

Does that seriously have a kickstand?

Does that seriously have a kickstand?

I’ve never heard of this airline.

Why not just pay somebody to put an LS in?

Absolutely not. 40 year old econoboxes are not worth five figures, I don't care what kind of nostalgia you have for being a teenage girl in the 90's who drove one of these to high school.

I feel like one benefit of electrification of everything is that we might see a return to a variety of body styles that manufacturers have abandoned -- roadsters, shooting brakes, minivans -- since electric drivetrains allow you to essentially throw any kind of coachbuilt body work on a skateboard chassis. I really…

So much this. Anybody who lives in a climate that gets snow in the winter and says anything other than “winter tires” is wrong. My Mustang is a year-round daily driver with Michelin x-Ice xi3's on a set of cheap no-name alloys in my garage ready to swap in.

I had all of the repairs and service done by a Mercedes dealer (on a car that was 17 years old when I bought it and 21 years old when I gave it away), and it cost me on average $1,000 a month in repairs. On a car I bought for $4,000.

Imagine thinking that Mark Zuckerberg’s existence has been a net benefit for society.
