I’m in northern VA, I stopped into my normal gas station for soda this morning and I was the only one out of maybe 20 people wearing a mask. Seems like people are becoming complacent about corona.

But more likely this clusterfuck isn’t even CLOSE to over yet. The rural area’s COVID case numbers aren’t great.

Neutral: We’re not going to settle into anything resembling a “normal” for a while. The best-case scenario is the big turmoil is over (this is EXTREMELY unlikely) and we’re left with ten million people unemployed or so, and another twenty to thirty million dealing with the aftermath of two or so months without a…

I don’t leave the house to drop the kids off at the pool. But... it’s possible that’s all the Changli is going to be suitable for.

I need to see that electric crate motor Bradley showed us yesterday installed by year’s end..

Haha, it looks exactly like the boxes my Harbor Freight junk comes in. How is even the cardboard from China cheaper and worse??

Wait, so this thing is sent over wrapped in cheap cardboard like the rest of the crap I get from China?

The old one looks better, new one is too fussy. Hmm that sounds just like websites before and after articles were needlessly broken up into slideshows!

The screen / button hot mess of the new model’s interior is like a 1970s idea of a car from the future.

Never, ever use this slide-show format again.

The solution is obviously to take the floor mat out. Then the oil can simply drain through the floor.

What’s the Changli’s towing capacity?  I’d rather drive it back than that thing.

Amazing how far ahead the pace notes are compared to the position the car is in. It’s at least one or two activities ahead. Am wondering how to train for that, when i guess the instinct is to just look at the road ahead and try to keep the car on it? :-)

Greatest rally stage of all time.

There’s a diesel Mk1 Rabbit with a (likely) cracked head on local Craigslist. I’d put it in that for a nifty runabout. 

Fun fact: gold has about the same density as tungsten, 19.3 kg/L.

Now that’s something different.
I cant decide if i love it or hate it.Some parts are really stylish but there are several awkward or weird sections too
