Anything from Dodge. It’s all decades old and outdated for the segment. Adding power does not fix the issues. Regardless of what Dodge does.

Run the numbers on street tires on a public road and no rollout and the dodge drops HARD. 

Hyundai has a plug in that size for a lot cheaper.

EV’s I’ve driven are quieter until about 50mph. The registered noise is just different. The thrum of the engine replaced by the drone of wind. It’s a lot easier to hear other vehicles around you. IT’s less loud overall from a meter, however the brain regulates its all to about the same volume. 

My etron came with some tires from OEM that had irregular side block openings. every 3-5 shoulder block was cut open and the others were a channel like this. Make things more fun. some were straight 90s others were angled off.

In regards to the timing of why it suddenly became a problem, It’s probably because some kid was looking for “Prawns” and got caught then saw that as an out to deflect the blame.

Sainz seems a MUCH better fit for Ferrari’s endurance race efforts. He seems snakebit in the way Alonzo is. Stuck a second seat in a competitive car or moved to a top driver at a non-competitive team.

It’s a rubber component. shave it back so its away from the tire. It would work with some hard highway tires kept at a decent pressure. Lot less sidewall flex then soft offraod tires and low pressures. Especially when offroad where loading can shift rapidly.

Thing is most people travel to the port the cruse leaves from. There’s the flight argument out the window. Others also have to stay in a hotel for the night if the flights don’t align so there is that as well...

I can see if the port is a days drive out from the person taking the cruse then it would be an argument.…

Damn... just a BIT more speed and he would have swung totally around... 

It’s always overpriced crap.  At least that keeps it simple. 

Fun math time,
100k miles per year. That’s 8766 hours. Not stopping ever its 11.4 miles per hours. Faster then the average run for people.
Lets say he spends 12 hours a day every day driving. Thats 4383 hours so 22.8mph.
Now lets cut out weekends (2469 hours) for 6307 for an average speed of 15.8 mph.
Next lets cut out…

Newness seems to go a long way with that generally. Also maintenance does wonders for those that his hard miles.

For my brother in law, that is about 3-3.5 years. medical hotshot deliveries.

the QX60 is a pretty good choice.  Just not at full price. Nissan should be rapidly pushing for hybrids across its aging lineup. 

should move the altima into the hybrid route and the maxima to the ev route.  bring back the distinction. They have been totally odd complements to each other for way too long fighting for the same market share against each other. 

Meanwhile in the US i am reading this on a throttled connection because new neutrality died in the hands of lobbying from telecoms facing having to update a nearly 40 yearold system nationally.
Same people saying dedicated high speed rail is 100% useless across the USA because it would put pressure on the current…

That’s awesome. Thanks for the info on it.

Is that a Mazda or a Citroen? 

Warranty and liability is king.  Why build a gaming PC and save a few hundred over buying a worse prebuilt from Dell?  Because if something gets fried, i can call the manufacturer and get it fixed a LOT easier then a component.
