What was Porsche saying this week re: electric vehicles? Better than Tesla?

Has anyone at AMG stopped and said, “Oh yeah, GT-R! Great name! Distinctly German?” Like, did anyone check if any other company was using “GT-R?” Kinda lazy naming, guys.

After extensive market research studies, the folks at MB decided that what the market was really missing was a stratospherically priced, high-horsepower, automatic-laden, 2+0 coupe in an exclusive leprechaun blood green finish.

That’s what I want. Have my licence plate covered so I don’t get speeding tickets for going 36 on a highway with a 25mph limit. #visionzero

The problem with gullwings is and will always be roof racks. Tesla’s solution is laughable.

I wish more cars had those scissor-type “lambo” doors, frankly, or gull-wing doors.

I generally have no problem with anyone making a ton of money, as long as they provide some sort of overwhelming net positive benefit and treat the people around them properly. I just can’t fathom how he was able to do that - if he did at all.

It’s fucked up how much money he made as a radio guy at a publicly-funded broadcasting org. If I was a taxpayer there I’d be pissed right off. He’s one of many

That’s the chavviest thing to do to a group of vintage Ferraris, honestly.

It’s amazing how little power they squeezed out of the engines back then. That Olds still beats the 307 with its 24.4 hp/l though!

Compression is 8.2 but also like you said it does not flow. Unfortunately the only thing worth keeping is the short block and new heads are expensive! It will take a couple grand to take this engine over 300hp (i have done it and regret it- 300hp in a 3800lbs car means honda odessey acceleration.

Your late c3 self proclaimed expert here. This car door jamb looks suspicious. Thats were the metal birdcage sits and thats were they rust. I would not buy any c3 without taking some interior trim off.

First of all, Centerline wheels do not belong on any car that isn’t meant for drag racing. They provide ZERO ventilation for the brakes, and I’d chuck them ASAP.

Truckers go through road side weigh stations and checks with relative frequency, and a battery swap may not require you to get out of your vehicle.

Because they make money hauling X volume of stuff with a hard limit on total weight of the rig plus the stuff they are hauling. For a given mass of fuel, if the fuel takes ten times the space diesel would, that is volume that can’t be used to haul stuff.

Long haul truckers need all the energy density they can get:

Leather gloves can be insufficient for sheetmetal. TRUST ME. Get some gloves with ANSI cut level 5 protection instead.


Remove your metal watch strap too- wonderful conductor and invest in one of these things- an eye wash bottle even though I wear safety glasses occasionally something will get past them

Springs are among the most dangerous things you mess with on a car, even with the proper tools.
