We are SO close

well we all know they only attack at night.  don’t try to trick us with semantics.

Geeze, what’s this country coming to? Next thing you know they will ban gasoline fights because of a few freak accidents.

This just made me think of Nissan, for some reason.

Well that escalated quickly, eh comrade?

It’s not that it isn’t enforceable, it’s just in the courts currently. There’s state and federal law, along with a treaty with Canada to adjudicate.

No, but they kill a lot of birds.

Yeah, I’m trying to picture the reaction here if a Republican governor ordered a solar plant or something shut down.

First Gear: May 11, 2021. Toyota in horrible shape, doesn’t have EVs.
First Gear: May 12, 2021. Toyota in great shape making money like mad.

Take your damned star while I clean off my monitor.

I know it has been kind of strange (so far) that Toyota hasn’t been a bigger player in electric cars, specially because the Prius was such a hot item for them. My guess has always been that they didn’t want to go first.

Perhaps BMW could pursue an attractive vehicle.

The Atlas is the McDonald’s of crossovers. They got the size, styling and features right, but cross-shop and it starts to fall apart. The fuel economy isn’t good, there’s all manner of electrical glitches, and the materials—-especially that unconvincing plastiwood—-are fit for the Wagon Queen Family Truckster.

He called the brakes “breaks”, which I think is a freudian slip. ND 

ND, this is the Porsche equivalent of seeing a Civic with Type R badges and no-name mods on it. eBay lowering springs do not equate to race suspension, drilled rotors are worse than normal due to the cracks that form between the holes, red calipers are kinda cool but don’t add value, and the ‘performance chip’ could…

You might have to wait as long as, GASP, this weekend when service is expected to return to normal.

This isn’t as bad as a tosser that puts ///M badges all over their grocery spec Bimmer or AMG badges on a C320, but it’s reeeeeeeal close. RUF badges are reserved for RUF cars, period. RUF wheels? Cool, leave the badges on the centercaps. But the hood and decklid? Come the F on.

$23,000 Goosebux = $19,000 Flag-emblazoned TP.

I just paid $11,000 for a 996 convertible yesterday, albeit rougher (RUF-er?) than this one, so the price seems high, but then again the mods add almost no value to me where others may disagree.

“Uber is paying me to give people free rides” is a very good argument that their drivers are, in fact, employees and not “contractors.”
