People will never understand cars. Most people can barely turn a door knob or push the right button on their appliances. (and why designers keep making them more complicated is complete insanity)

Little information exists about the prototype project, MINOR THREAT, but a few photographs survive of that team.

Haven’t we all?

No it’s not.

I don’t think it matters much at high speeds. The power required to overcome drag increases by the cube of the velocity, while the power required to accelerate a mass to a given velocity is proportional to the mass. You’d need double the power to maintain the rate of acceleration with double the mass, but you’d need…

Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you move the wall.

I bet it would have sold better than the Chevrolet SS...

As an industrial engineer I don’t think people realize the magnitude of what Tesla is doing with this car from a manufacturing standpoint. Taking a plant from producing ~70,000 cars annually to ~500,000 is a tremendous ask. For most plants a 15% change in production volume is a dramatic change. You are essentially…

I get what you’re saying. They haven’t really been able to get any solid new talent like the Silva/Aguero initial purchases. I would love for Pogba to go there. I’d hate it if he went to Barca to make their games even more boring as they devour every other spanish team that costs as much as 1 & 1/2 barca players.

Evan and Dr. Pepper!

CP, I’ll go grab a Taurus SHO of the same year for a 10th that price if I wanted a 1995 230hp 5 speed FWD 4 door with a sexy intake manifold.

I adore 164s, and part of my monthly craigslist ritual is searching 164 and wanting to buy what pops up. That said I’ve never seen a Q model, but I have seem plenty in much nicer shape, typically see them in the $2-3k range but occasionally lower, and once for a meticulously maintained and garage kept 1 owner example,…

Holy shit. What is wrong with this guy? I like Alfas very particularly (says my little avatar picture thingie) and I understand that Alfa Romeos and reason are often mutually exclusive terms. And this is an exceptionally nice specimen. But nearly 20 large? This transcends crack and is well into black-tar heroin. Knock…
