I have driven cars from almost every era since the 70's in various conditions and have never once had to tighten an essential bolt like the one that holds the door hinge onto the body.  And ditto on never ever having an issue with a pedal, whether gas, clutch, or brake.  It blows my mind that this is happening on…

incEL Camino driven by cybercucks.  A match made in history.

I have almost no sympathy for people who knowingly make bad financial decisions and wind up in a bad situation, mostly because of their own poor decisions. It is so easy to look up current interest rates at banks and credit unions online to know that anything in the two-digit range is terrible, even for people with…

I can’t even imagine what will happen to the EPA and DOE, in my opinion the two most important agencies right now.  Under Trump the Dump, they will gut the EPA and will likely rely on “research” funded by the oil industry.  And Mike Johnson will replace the schools with home-schooling and extra funds will be granted…

Did you ever take physics in high school or university? More mass equals more force in all circumstances (well, maybe not in space ). A truck that weighs 5,000 lbs or more (like a 2010 F150) will transmit significantly more energy in a collision than a car that weighs 3,500 lbs. It is also much harder to steer, brake,…

It needs enough acceleration to safely merge onto a highway so limiting the 0-60 time to more than 9 seconds would not be a good idea if you want your kid to stay safe.

This is spot on. If this process is to “complicated,” inconvenient, or expensive to someone, maybe flying is not the ideal form of travel for them and they should rent a car or take the bus. And even though not everyone is a frequent flyer, it is very easy to look up rules and fees in advance.

Yeah, it’s sad that this country was created with politicians who were successful in actual professions (doctors, farmers, merchants, etc. who can lend their practical expertise) first and politicians second and now in present day, we have mostly career politicians. Our government would be significantly more effective…

Yes, but the damage would have been far less if this was a 3,500 lbs sedan and not a 3-ton+ truck.

We all know that Stellantis is struggling right now and most of their products are forgettable but who wouldn’t want a minivan with a hellcat crate motor in place of the third row powering the rear wheels? Sure, interior space will be compromised but they should be able to create a frunk for smaller items and a nice…

Thanks Biden!

I couldn’t agree more. It’s not just the power and acceleration but how plug and play it is to extract maximum performance from the car. You just plant your foot down and hold on compared to the muscle memory and experience needed to nail the feathering of the throttle/clutch to know when your rear tires are hooking…

While distracted driving is a huge issue, and one of the biggest, so is the fact that people can hop in 3-ton+ vehicles and/or vehicles with 400+ hp without any sort of graduated licensing program. There should be different classes of non-commercial vehicle licensing for cars with excessive weight (ex full size…

This happens in my industry (real estate and construction) all the time. When large office and apartment buildings are constructed, decisions are often made by the development and construction team with the intent of keeping the building in decent, low maintenance condition for about a decade. That way, they can sell…

Yeah I was super surprised by that throwback.  By 1998, 3.5" floppies had been out for more than a decade and were more commonly used.  This system must date back to late 80's/early 90's and was likely updated a little over twenty years ago.

I certainly felt the same way the last time I was there. The history is fascinating, architecture is breathtaking, their economy is a powerhouse given its small land area and lack of natural resources, and there is almost no crime, poverty, or grittiness like most large, dense cities. The food is amazing, from the…

Basic life skills 101. I appreciate that we had home-ec to help teach us to feed ourselves and keep things clean and shop class but maybe instead of learning to fold and rivet sheet metal into a post-it holder, we should have been filling tires, changing wheels, and swapping windscreen wipers. 

I really don’t think it will sell without heavy discounts at the $80K pricepoint, which gets you into fully loaded x3 m40, x3M, or near fully loaded X5 40i/50e (and their competitors) territory.  If the base model comes with enough standard features, especially the technology features, it could lease well but…

I dunno, I might be getting old but I had a hard time hearing the car with all the other cars running the track around it. It sounded fine at startup and idle.

This looks like a great new addition to the market but I am skeptical about pricing due to the size and features.  With that said, I love the idea of a startup backed by a big company as it will be more innovative but still have the benefits of shared technologies, components, and manufacturing.
