it actually means we’ll be heading to a world equivalent to DDT killing bald eagles again,

California was hoping to do this by banning the sale of gas-powered cars in

Damn, I’m jealous that you were able to experience this beast.

They would sell a ton of them, but of course the markups on SUVs and trucks are higher.

Agreed, but seeing as Ford writes the regulations, none of this is happening.  (except the insurance bit, they’ve priced based on payouts since forever).

Ford, like the other mfgrs has to satisfy the governments requiremen

The Fiesta was still selling about 20k units a year in the US right up to the end, but that wasn’t good enough for Ford.

This is one of those once in a lifetime deals that’s the result of a confluence of events. Like in 2010 when you could land something like a Mustang GT for $18k OTD because new car sales were in the gutter and 5.0s were announced.

I love going down the exhaust header design rabbit hole on YouTube.  There’s so many people out there building crazy stuff and I love it.

I have my doubts about the long term success of cheap cars in the USA. I think this was a response to inflated used car prices driving used buyers to something new in their budget. With used car prices falling quickly, I think Mirage buyers are going to largely move back to used cars that aren’t terrible.

The Prius. It’s cheap to run, built to last, anyone can drive it, it hauls a decent amount of people/things, easier to maintain that most new cars, and it’s nicer to drive than most people think.

It’s any drone, the FAA doesn’t play around with it. I had to get my Part 107 for work and you have to learn a ton of material and if you break the law it can have serious repercussions.

Model3s have been around long enough that they are cheap on the used market.

Horseshit - big engine in a small car is long the recipe for going fast, comfort be damned.

Lots of people are short Tesla.  Their stock price is a gigantic game of hot potato.

Tesla is the exactly the kind of company to break a law then dare law enforcement to come after them.

The dude is making tons of money from all of the videos about these issues.

It’s funny to think that Chevy was going to go this direction with the C5, but after having executives drive a DOHC version back-to-back with a pushrod, they decision was unanimously in favor of the LS. The executives didn’t like having a sports car with an engine you had to rev to get power.

Any idiot can make a little sports car go fast, it takes a little more effort to do it in a big comfy sedan.

The slow spool gave 5.0 mustangs hope.
