I’d be very tempted by a 500e if there were any on the east coast. It helps that they hit the auctions last year (?) at like $4k. So, what, $7k for a hilarious, low mileage, killer commuter... I’d be so down. Note: I do have Kei car dreams so I am a little weird with my thing for small cars

Not trying to call you out personally, but I’ve seen this “source of electricity” argument quite a bit and I think it’s (at least a partial) strawman.

“My Oh My” is what you were referencing. A really great song, I agree.

I never thought twice about this car...

I wonder!

Sounds like you wanted to start a fight here, saying that “Frunk” is a silly word! I think there’s not many things as Jalop as a frunk! For one, it implies mid-/rear-engine which is always a neat thing minimally, but then there’s just that subtle aspect of mid/rear engines which really isn’t that important but is…

I honestly didn’t even know Mini made an EV before last week. I only found out because I was trying to find the latest news to see what Mini’s latest status was on their upcoming EV and to show it to somebody (and remind myself) when they were planning it. Still another year or two out at least. iirc. If it was in the…

I think the Mirai looks like what the new Prius should have looked like. If anything, I think the roles should have been reversed: the more extreme and crazy looking car (which I don’t get how people like at all) should be the more revolutionary - or at least unique - hydrogen car while the Prius could still be an…

ALMOST a fair point... Except you’re missing half the wonder of EV’s: you can charge them at home. Every night. After every drive if you so pleased.

Note: Mini did the same with their test EV a few years ago (for real- Mini!) and the same with one of the most prominent and early EV’s of modern history, GM’s EV1.

But... But... Science!

23 years from now I will have doubled in age... Seriously though, you make good, rational points.

The Numbani payload is already missing the Doomfist gauntlet...?

Not as ugly as the Italdesign’s but yech. It’s pretty neat to build more functional design out of traditionally single-function wheels, but that’s about where it stops when said design looks so ugly...

While those are my #2 favorite wheel (despite the fact that I much prefer 5-spokes), I don’t think they’d work on all/most cars. (Plus they’d be less special if they were on every car :)

This certainly explains why Nissan will, very soon (if not already), be offering the 2017s (in certain states, to certain organizations) at crazy discounts to clear their 2017 stock.
We’re talking the $30k+ brand new car for about $10k when all the incentives and discounts are said and done. If only Nissan made a…

That rear visor was great!

Marketplace is quickly getting better, but Craiglist is still #1 for now.

Sounds like a great game!

I really want to drive a manual Smart one day. They look like they’d be so much fun!
