I still don’t know why they didn’t just stick with Mach-E and skip the Mustang nomenclature. But, yeah, the Ford GT (Grand Truck) is probably somewhere down the line. I’m hoping they see the success with “Lightning” and keep appending that to models instead, though.

ID.Buzz would be great, but you’re right not to get too hopeful on it. The price of the European short wheelbase version (which I wish would come here) suggests the US long wheelbase version will be too expensive.

A Bolt pickup/ute would be great! I think the Equinox EV could be great one to throw a bed on, too. I just don’t need Silverado size.

We already got the Mustang Mach E. I’m not gonna hold my breath for properly matched model names, just good vehicles.

Just give me a smallish pickup with decent range and/or a wagon with good range. I don’t care what model name you slap on them, because I want it built as an EV from the start.

Sounds like you are more in the know than I am. I know I’d never want to be a hot wheels scalper, regardless.

Having sold a couple times on eBay, but mostly bought, I’m no expert, but the shipping is usually paid by the buyer and eBay’s fees are somewhere around 10-15%.

Point 2 is a very good point. Beyond insurance being very profitable, I have to wonder if collision subsidizes comprehensive somewhat. It tends to have the larger, scarier, but rarer numbers, so I wonder if it sells better and is more profitable. Or maybe the required liability insurance carries both of those, since…

The math is mostly right, but there’s a lot of funny stuff that goes into statistics like this. You’ve rounded down, but it is 1.57 crashes per person. When extrapolating data like this, it is best not to round, since none of it actually applies to an individual directly. Next, a certain percentage of drivers will…

Well, the NHTSA has sort of started looking at pedestrian safety, so we’ll probably see tech fixes (cameras, sensors) fairly soon, with lower/sloping hoods a generation or two out, most likely. The shift to EVs will help, since hood design can be drastically different without accommodating an engine.

I don’t have kids. But I do worry about the kids that aren’t seen walking because of the massively high beltlines of the large SUVs and pickups. I worry about your family in a crash with an inattentive driver in an F350. I worry about the people around my grandmother, who should not be driving and usually doesn’t, but…

I grew up out in logging country and now live in “truck country.” I know loggers who put a bunch of dirty shit in a wagon, people who won’t get a new pickup because they’ve gotten too tall for easy loading, and people who use their pickups for heavy towing (who prefer a reasonable height pickup—a lot of newer pickups…

No one here is saying we need to get rid of all cars. Get rid of commuting for a large chunk of the population and driving will be a lot more enjoyable. The best thing that we can do for car enthusiasts is to make the car less mandatory.

Just don’t log in. I just had to log in to tell you that it’s not visiting, but logging—damn, I think I fell for a spoof.

The three-month plan cuts each month by $100, essentially waiving the fee. I signed up to be notified if they start serving my area, but I think it will be a bit. If I do it, I might do the 3 month, though. Get a really good idea if it will work for me by doing at least a couple different road trips. It is a little…

For a lot of people, if they stick to commuting and local driving, charging on 110 should be good enough. Of course, that would also mean a short-range EV would be fine, too.

That’s the problem. They have a signed contract. To your average buyer, that contract looks pretty final. The stipulation that it could fall through isn’t immediately apparent. And the dealer is probably hurrying them through it. Should the buyer let themselves be rushed? No, but the deck is stacked against them. The…

The problem is that people are led to believe it IS approved. This isn’t happening to you or me, the person who already shopped loans before stepping foot on the lot. It’s mostly happening to people who go to shady corner lots that have the cheapest cars and say they’ll finance everyone. It’s happening to people who…

I don’t think anyone is saying they should get the car for free. They agreed to terms, signed a contract for those terms, and then are told to come back in and agree to new terms. Sometimes repeatedly. Often, this happens because shady dealers offer terms they know or strongly suspect won’t go through, but the buyer…

The window deflectors suggest this vehicle has been smoked in. The rebuilt title is iffy at this price, but I don’t mind a rebuilt S10 if it was done right. But that and the high likelihood it smells of cigarettes...no thanks.
