That IS a nice tow rig, and an even more fun race car. (B-Spec forever!) All of the dark forest greens need to make a comeback on exteriors.

Don’t see any Chrysler products in there so I guess you pass? Lol..minor correction the lifting lugs are steel not iron as it’s too hard to weld.

“..5 more foot lubs” . . . . . nice. Permission to use that?

UHMPE Ropes are so cool! I used to sell them, and they are fascinating. They are “as strong as steel at a fraction of the weight” but they also have other awesome features. They do not “snap” like wire rope or traditional synthetic rope, when they reach a failure point energy is transmitted along the entire length…

You’re going upmarket aren’t you.

As a mechanical engineer, it never ceases to amaze me what we are able to engineer together. This is one of the most metal things I’ve ever seen. 

I expected to see David Tracy shopping for a new project at the docks

People always like to forget that Tesla was selling actual cars before its IPO. Sure it was a niche car but it was tangible and people could actually buy it and drive it. That’s a huge step in the car world to actually have a saleable product. All these people “investing” in vaporware companies are in for a hard time.

And once again, vaporware dissolves back into the aether from whence it came.

I’m still holding out for my Elio.

The fireball the moment he hit made me feel sick. My wife and I were watching live, and the first words out of my mouth were something along the lines of... “Holy shit, did we just watch a guy die?”

That should quiet anyone who was somehow still complaining about the halo in 2020.

There was nothing lost by adding the halos, the cars still look cool! There was so much gained as yesterday proved.

Speaking of Right to Repair: my 2020 Lincoln Aviator has been in the dealership shop (checks)....54 consecutive days. Lincoln finally agreed it is a lemon this past Friday, after originally saying no it wasn’t a week earlier, which blew my mind. Car is 9 months old, has 5000 miles on it, mind you. Doesn’t even turn…

I agree.  Why should I pay, for example, $250,000 for an $80,000 Corvette?  That car can rot on the showroom floor for that matter.

5th: GM’s supposed “meddling” is good for their customers. Dealers get away with underhanded bullshit all the time, so to try to keep the Hummer EV’s at MSRP isn’t a big deal, and shouldn’t be to these dealers. They’ll do anything (and sell anything) to make a buck, even sacrificing business ethics to do so.

Well for a start all the Euro stuff will be metric so the US can’t accept that!

The variability and complexity of the world is exactly why the intelligence should be built into fixed locales instead of vehicles. I’ve held this opinion from the beginning of autonomous talk, and if I’m lucky I’ll live to see a locale protocol evolve anyway. I think it might be perceived as a mobile pod approach,…

We’re gonna wait until everyone else comes up with some rules, then use the fact that, despite our own deliberate inactivity, it was developed by other countries as a political tool to rile a fresh generation of xenophobic assholes for political gain. After all, why should any politician risk pissing off a home…

Alabama doesn’t need a peach for a road side Mooning

I think the Ypsilanti, Mich., water tower is supposed to with it.
