I then demand, from here forth, everyone forever reference electric motor max torque as being available from >0 RPM.

People always say “0 RPM” but isn’t it actually 1 RPM? Am I being pedantic? Is asking three rhetorical questions in a row super annoying?

I suspect a reason for the increase in vehicles deaths due to no belt is related to the increase in “ride sharing” options like Uber/Lyft. I rarely ever took a cab before or since ride sharing came to be, but I take Lyft every week now. It’s so much more convenient than a cab, and therefor reaches way more people.

But it is SO confusing!/s

I never use my phone when I drive. I’m not trying to hold the wheel, my phone, and my beer; that’d be irresponsible.

atrocious mileage, stupid little parts (oh the window tracks....), and terrible mileage,

It is possible the owners bought these cars new, showing that they can’t afford/choose not to replace cars every few years. Unless a show/movie/scene specifically mentions them buying the classic as a classic, you should just assume they bought it at a pre-classic value.

While I agree we live in a world full of click bait titles, I just don’t see that here at all; not even a little. The title mentioned the brand of each vehicle involved in an incredible story about cars precisely one time each. This is a car blog, so the readership values the fact that the hero was sacrificing a car…

If it makes you feel better, the 26 year old people you generally despise today will be 41 some day, but they’ll still be the same apathetic people filming from the sidelines.

Insurance might pay out for his at-fault accident, but could very well choose to drop him as a customer afterwards.

You and I have very different ideas on what is “cool.”

Yeah, and what’s with them listing “VOLKSWAGEN” in the title? It’s like, we get it. /s

If I were to buy this, it would be with the plan to keep it going until 1,000,000 miles, so Porsche would buy it back from me.

I bet the owner has matching white wrap-around Oakley sunglasses.

I love finding weird stuff like this on the Internet. This article was linked to another about Kei cars. I’m glad I started reading this before going too far down the rabbit hole in trying to figure out where to buy one. It would make a terrible only car, even for someone who doesn’t need a car at all.

That may be true to an extent. I doubt as many people confuse their Ubers when it’s a Toyota Sienna picking them up. It blows me away that my wife couldn’t tell the difference- ANY difference- between an NC and ND Miata when parked side-by-side. I’m sure this phenomenon is more common with even more generic sedans.

Ahh, yeah, over my head. That one was a little too vague. The italics was the right touch.

That’s an interesting conclusion you jumped to.

This deal comes up like 4+ times a year, so if you don’t immediately need tires, no need to buy them today.

It’s called a joke. greenek even spelled it out for you. Geez.
