They have done a terrible job photographing that boat-tail Buick; there’s an ugly red car blocking every picture.

There is an irony here too: Drivers (or sports teams, for that matter) that are dominant also tend to bring awareness to the sport. Michael Schumacher was great for F1 as was Richard Petty for NASCAR. Jimmy Johnson raced in an era when NASCAR actually enforced rules and looked pretty closely at the legality of the…
Seller has clearly been viewing Bring a Trailer and has realized that posing your car in an airplane hanger is the surest way to bring top dollar. 50% too much $ and 25% too few wheels=ND.
Why doesn’t the airbag deploy in that Subaru? Special “Street Takeover” edition Outback?

An important list, as the number one thing that keeps most people from going full EV is the lack of horsepower.
“You can fault its interior, its build quality, and even the ridiculous CEO” That’s quite a long list, to be fair. Yes, it will accelerate very quickly, but if you drive it like that, the range is maybe 100 miles?
I regularly drive from Minneapolis to Milwaukee and this is exactly why I haven’t made the switch to EV. TWO stops?! I’m in a 13 year old Volvo and it needs zero stops to go 335 miles. It just seems like a step backwards.
You can’t even do that with a giant pickup truck anymore.
Highways have (multiple) gas stations at almost every exit. Which would all need to add charge points. For cars that will sit there for 45 minutes at a time.
I was gonna go Volvo V60 but I think Lawrence got it just about perfect.
Wow- mid-day and it’s a real horse race!
The cost of gasoline is subsidized by the taxpayers. Why do you think it costs $7/gallon in Europe and $4/gallon in the US? Whether you drive an EV (or don’t drive at all) you’re still pitching in to help keep your neighbor’s F150 in cheap unleaded.
In Minnesota we pay a registration fee of hundreds of dollars every year, based on the original purchase price of the car. The $$ goes to road projects (and other state grift). So if you buy an expensive EV that $$ in part pays for the roads.
I attended the second Austin F1 race and met some college students who had been given free tickets just to make the crowd look a little bigger. Watching last week’s COTA event on TV I thought I had moved to a parallel universe, where an F1 race in Texas would draw a bigger crowd than NASCAR. I can only hope the…
MN resident here. Xcel is a crap utility and I don’t drive an EV, BUT: One way or another state residents underwrite private cars as transportation. So maybe I don’t want to pay for somebody else’s EV charging station, but I am happy to have them pay for road repairs and relatively cheap fossil fuel. Tax and utility…
And you literally missed my point: AWD and winter tires is better than 2-wheel drive with winter tires.
“winters tires are better than all-wheel-drive” It’s not either-or. This is America; you can have all-wheel-drive AND winter tires. You’re welcome.
Revell and Tamiya both make excellent kits for the Ford GT as either a street car or a racer. Don’t let a little glue and paint scare you! Here’s the Tamiya version:
