In my 1st gen raptor you could lock the rear at any speed if you pushed all the right buttons. I’ve found my 2nd gen raptor super willing to let loose but not as easily as with a locker but then I have a little more of a saftey net too. That never hurts when you’re 55 and your reflexes ain’t what they used to be. 

This is exactly why the Ford Raptor and locking rear diffs exsist

It’s alway better to understate and over deliver. Porsche uses this same approach with hp numbers and Porsche owners love it.

Oh Lordy just buy a UTV for the price of an axle housing with all goodies and be done with it. 

The “affordable” air cooled Porsche is now a unicorn. 

I’m totally playing. Have an awesome night!  I needed to put a wink or something.

Ohhhh I get it. You guys are millennials and don’t have your drivers license yet.  

Well don’t tell us, tell Mercedes F1 and then send all the top secrets to Jalopnik so we can fight about them and do interneting stuff.

Nope not buying it. I live there too. It’s a work in progress and nothing like the mass transit in most big cities. You can’t even get to LAX without a bunch of hassle. I’ve never rented a car once in my visits to NYC. If I was from out of town no way I’d try that in LA.

You’ve never been to LA have you? 

Well that answered that question, thanks! 

Okay, thank you. Why wouldn’t cng be even better though? 

I’m a Nimrod and a simpleton. So why exactly do we want ev’s? Isn’t the carbon footprint pretty much the same and does this mean more coal burning power plants or nukes?

Porsche says “Hey have you met our new Taycan 919? It’s totally a production model” 

I don’t know what to say or think. I love racing but most my smarts is in ball and stick type sports. In those sports when an entire team is this lost the TOP dude gets fired and then almost everyone else and a new regime comes in. 

I’m with you. I’m no scientist but it seems looking for life in a place so toxic that it renders machines useless seems a bit off target. 

In tiny Italian villages on tiny roads it feels faster. Onthe highway in Sicily this summer the Panda would cruise at 85 mph but sounded like a chainsaw. I doubt I’d drive my own Panda that hard but with a rental car it’s all good!

I rented both in Italy this summer. The 500 feels heavier and bigger driving but once you get inside the Panda feels much bigger than it is but felt tiny to drive. (If that makes any sense at all) To me the panda felt much lighter and more fun to drive.

Simple, park it down by the river and eat guvment cheese. 

I get that but it is racing and probably pretty affordable.
