Sounds like they did exactly what they wanted with the cars....Drove the wheels off of them and crashed a few.

To people paying attention with a smidge of common sense? No.

It seems that the bigger problem is the lag.

Could it be the fact that Kia’s are being stolen in large numbers because of the steering column hack that Kia doesn’t want to fix for free?   

Ship that shit to China where no one gives a fuck about the health or environmental consequences.

Shiny will probably be acceptable again at some point. That said, modern cars don’t leave great spaces for it. The bumpers are plastic, large, and integrated. Even if you wanted shiny wheels, polished aluminum seems the way - so even with shiny, chrome is not always the way to do it.

It’s six of one, half dozen the other. Polished finishes are relatively easy to repair, especially on (most) metals. But they show everything.

It absolutely reduces the market for those engines.

Clearly you don’t need a v-8 if you have that big of a wiener

Editing my original wiener comment to it’s own thread, but yes the SRT-4 was peak Dodge fun shitbox format.

The problem is that co2 is global problem. The first world can make themselves feel great by making luxurious EVs that fit our every need.

The Hummer is a halo vehicle, but the very similar Silverado EV is not (at least not intended to be). And a Model 3 weight is considerably more than any ice car of similar size and I remember when v10 M5s weighed similar or less than a 3.

Again, most industrial systems do not have suspension, the wheels are fixed. It’s why tracked machines are often notorious for having poor ride quality on harder surfaces.

I don’t know of many industrial track systems that have suspension. Tractors? Very few. Skid loaders, bulldozers, etc. None that I am aware of.

Only on a uniform surface, especially if the tracks have no suspension.  If they don’t all the weight will be on the raised portion of the surface and not distributed evenly.

But only on a flat surface. Unless they have suspension on those tracks (and even if they do, to a large degree) they will pinpoint all the pressure on the raised portion of the surface - say a log, a rock, or running over Jeremy Renner.  This is because they can’t give to the changes in surface. On top of that, the…

The locomotive has a very specific and extremely reinforced nose and cab for safety reasons. This is a relatively recent development.

The last ~30 years has brought about the “safety cab” for the engineers. Basically the front of the locomotive is extremely reinforced to prevent the cab from being destroyed from hits similar to the one above.

Galvanic corrosion goes through aluminum like butter too. Especially when heat and/or water and/or salt is involved.

The red would look so good with bright silver wheels, IMO.
