No AC? Every single picture has the half-doors — does this car not also have full doors with, like, glass windows? Is this for real?

They’re identical cars with different front fascias, wheels, and dash trim. The only difference is that the Alfa only gets the "RT" engine, a plug in hybrid with electric AWD.

My very first car was a 1983 Chrysler LeBaron station wagon with fake wood panels on the side. I remember what it looked like on the exterior, but I have absolutely no recollection whatsoever of the interior, or how it was to drive (other than that the button you press on the automatic shifter was broken, so you could…

I’m sorry; in what way is a four-door sports sedan with an MSRP of $82,000 not a “luxury vehicle”?

The comment I was responding to was about Lexus in general having “the dynamics of a wet sponge,” and this is just as true of the GX platform mate of your 4Runner as it is of an RX. Offroading, obviously, is a different beast that can be fun in a different way, and is less dependant (although still kind of dependent)…

There is no world in which an M3 can be considered “spacious.” And BMW has to fight hard against physics to make an M5 outperform an M3, which was kind of my point.

It’s clear to me that the people voting NP on this have never actually driven one of these. The hard top clanks and rattles like it’s made out of broken timing chains, and the transmission is among the worst I’ve ever driven — even new, it felt like a manual with broken syncros. CP at any price; buy an S197 V6…

San Andreas was always my favorite, and when it was re-released in 2021 — yep, still my favorite. The fact that the map was old didn’t matter; the game itself played wonderfuly. I’ve never once played GTA Online, but I just finished the single-player GTA campaign for the third time on my third separate platform: PS3,…

I drive a Mustang. My wife drives an RX350. If I want a fun and exciting driving experience, I’m not looking for it in a midsize people-hauler. The infotainment system absolutely does take some getting used to(hers is a 2018, so it has a little mouse but no touch screen), but once you get used to it it’s fine. The…

I’m on Long Island, and I recently was quoted $10,000 for installation of a Level 2 car charger, much of the cost of which is upgrading not just from a 100 to a 200 amp circuit breaker, but also upgrading 100 to 200 amp service from the overhead power main to the branch line to my house. I’d also have to upgrade the…

Literally everything you said could have applied to leaded gasoline or asbestos insulation.

Counterpoint: Most electric stoves recommend using a dedicated 50 amp breaker. My house was built in 1960 with 60 amp total service; at some point in the 90's it was (poorly) upgraded to a 100 amp breaker so that central air could be added in. My home’s electrical system is not capable of running an electric stove,…

I have an electric front door lock and it’s great never having to use keys ever for anything at all. Keep a car key fob in my pocket, never take it out, punch a code to get in the house. It’s the future!

Has anybody been able to get through 30,000 miles on an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio without a catastrophic engine failure?

Lexus makes reliable cars that are extremely nice inside and are isolated from the road (which a lot of people like). There’s a huge market for that. 

Rivians rule and it sucks that the company is going to disappear.

The Shoreham plant was supposed to start low power testing in 1986, but then Chernobyl happened, and, that was that.

Yes, correct. And I can’t afford a $63k EV. So I’m wondering who exactly is being impacted by this. 

I live on Long Island, so part of my electric bill every month goes towards paying for the construction of the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant, which was built between 1973 and 1984 and was decommissioned in 1994 after having never been actived.
