My point is that modified car value basically never amounts to the sum of its parts - even if done extremely well. Very occasionally while new if made by the right people, almost never used. And they essentially never have prestige as time goes on - though there are certainly cases that prove otherwise, few and far…

Maybe.  But without pedigree of a successful racing car, it will still depreciate like a rock.

Correction - it’s not a super car. It’s not even luxury exactly. It’s more like a early 2000s over modded Civic or a Mustang with a hood so huge you can’t see out the windshield.

Posted it elsewhere, but in case you didn’t see it, some simulated numbers to where this could go. Extra fun ‘cause you can balance killing lots of people against killing the economy a bit less: https://budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2020/5/1/coronavirus-reopening-simulator

Old one is way better, but more chrome and bigger grilles give you a bigger...eh?

Hence why the saying of “torque is what you feel” is so incredibly far from accurate. Wheel torque maybe, but there are a lot of variables between that and engine torque to make it completely meaningless.

Yes, hence I mentioned tested positive and thus confirmed.

Testing is the best current solution. And potentially the only option we have that really works at the moment. South Korea has proven this and has been more successful than anyone else by being on top of testing and contact tracing.

Ah yes, herd immunity. Something that may happen a after 80%+ people have had it.

Isn’t it ironic that people who want to go back to normal without thinking are the same ones - in many cases - who slowed the first response by claiming it a hoax and delaying critical controls to stop the first round of spread.

The fastest way to real doom and gloom is to go about opening up with no strategy and not taking it seriously.

The grill is better than the rear bumper though.   If that means anything.

It likely makes sense for many backhoe type projects. Most of them need high hydralic flow to operate the booms and power use comes in spikes as you are digging in or lifting. Generally not huge power overall and they can be somewhat heavy.

I agree, it IS different in rural communities. People are out working more. Perhaps less concern. Certainly less affected in the day to day activity sense. But, many rural communities could be days or few weeks away from an NYC scenario once it is introduced into the wrong people among the population. On top of this, m…

Obviously.

Says who?   Sounds like some conspiracy fake news bullshit.

Except it’s not. Shut off your TV.

Sweden has an extremely high death rate per cases confirmed. It’s nothing to brag about. And they have a very healthy population and great healthcare to start with. Try the same thing in rural america and you will be spending your time digging 6ft holes for a LONG time.

Around the globe, South Korea is probably the…

It’s true that EVs can be quick. But low 8sec 1/4 @ 170+mph is a entirely different world than P100d 10.6ish @ 123ish.
