Damn missed this. Any Land Rover. They arent that much better design or feature wise, they fail at an alarming rate, enough to make Carmax blush, and any feature or comfort add on will be broken or removed by a prior owner to keep any cost down.

IMO anything with the Fast and Furious tax. 

I’m curious how and where things like FSD and advanced autopilot fall in the lineup. The “services and other” consider subscriptions for vehicle functions, or are those in the automotive segment? A $10k-$15k check box to turn on a software switch definitely pads profits. It’s even more expensive to get it added after…

You found the tiniest of “ego” trucks at sema. Even the name exudes micro-ego. 10/10 tow mirrors flared and fake clearance lights and a light bar at rear view mirror height. This thing is primed to be a foot off your rear bumper in traffic blinding you.

Most of the revenue for Tesla comes from selling FSD or advanced autopilot as well as subscriptions and leasing out charger tech/grid to other companies. They are a tech company with a car problem.

Stellantis is set to have a BIG hit now that banks are cracking down on handing out sub-prime auto loans.

Yea, Those hoods and a few others were a shit design that put a crush point right where the spring hinge was set. Modern linear shocks are a MUCH better option because they can be placed almost anywhere along the hood edge. Modern hoods are stupidly light compared top the older ones. I remember a 90's cougar hood…

Hope the three never make it to see the inside of a prison. Don’t waste tax dolars on that trash. Just drop the rock on them.

Start from the feet and work your way up.  drop that rock on one foot then a month later the next foot.  then the knees then the wrists then the hands.  after a year the heads. 

Throw the rock at them.  repeatedly start from the feet and work your way up.

Yea the square body hood has a few complex curves and an under hood support system. However it also has some unfortunate spring mount locations and a terribly planned relief shape to make the center line of the hood an outright weak spot right above the spring location. grab one by the end and pull down to close...

Then the chevy square body came around and hoods haven’t recovered from that.

Driving with hazard/flashers on when it starts to rain. Sure, compromise your car’s visibility and other people’s ability to see your car in driving rain. if YOU feel you need to lop on the idiot signals, pull off the next exit and wiat out the rain. Don’t be that scared idiot flashing away going 5-10mph on the…

The best off-roader is a rental with the daily insurance coverage as well.

While their phone is shouting “recalculating” the whole time.

I’ve seen quite a few stainless steel panel cars and trucks from the 70's and 80's that look just fine.

It would need a bit more then a few acoustic tar panels once the things start buffeting.

Hell, even doing an acent crease along the panel would have gone a LONG wat to help that wobble. I can imagine when the glue points for the foam interior of the doors start popping loose. Gonna sound like a discordant musical saw on the highway. A mod panel crease to tie across the wheel arches would have helped.…

I just want to get a solar panel insert for the bed cover. Seems like a pretty good thing to happen. Should be good for about 40ish miles a day here.

Tint on the road is a PITA. It makes it so yo cant even see brake lights through the vehicle in front. It blocks views from turning lanes on the walls of SUV’s out there with it.
As far as cop stops. I’ve heard first hand from cops and experienced it from getting stopped, that having a super dark tint is a great way…
