I dont think the lighting does it complete justice, but the car actually seems to have really good fore aft balance, and the way that the wheel arches flare, with the hard lines are actually imo pretty well done.... the blend from the flat surface above the wheels to the rest of the body is really fascinating,…

for that, its worth considering the bolt. I picked up a 2020 with 20k miles for $13k all said and done.

it goes both ways, some motorists are complete dicks to road cyclists still.... as a very responsible user of the road, i do everything in my power in order to not affect drivers on the road. ill take less used roads and roads with bike lanes or massive shoulders and whatnot. honestly it’s gotten better over the…

consumers just want more.

that’s disbursing weight away from the center.... for nimble handling, you want the weight to be as close to the center of the vehicle as possible.

freight trains arent acutally that great in the aerodynamics category. although the frontal surface area is very small in relation to the weight, they have a ton of surface friction from all the different surfaces that the air flows against. and there’s a LOT of surface on a freight train.

you and i agree on a lot of things, but this is where we disagree.

weight is a factor in acceleration, but it’s actually not gonna be the main factor for efficiency unless youre going up a steep hill, and youre fighting gravity.

... and i thought that was low... i just drove by a gas station this morning. and it was $4.50/gallon, and the 76 across the street was $4.90.

So close. It’s 13t not 13g.

You are correct. Rear doors and throttle body say 98.

I’d at least go look at it.

same. NP

it’s a brand.

price.

You can skip the USA part if you lease. You can get the $7500 applied to your lease. If you’re a savvy shopper that’ll reduce the price of the car. If you’re a bad shopper the dealer will just absorb that in a ridiculously expensive lease.

Yeah. Still seems like a lot compared to our 2020 ioniq EV limited (the fully loaded one. It was really well equipped, and surprisingly nice, well beyond reason) we’re returning this weekend. After credits and rebates it came to $700 down and $150/month. For the last 36 months. We picked it up like 2 weeks before the…

And all the legal hassle Of having to prove without a doubt that you weren’t at fault because a family member of asshat is trying to come after you after asshat died being an asshole at 120mph, into your rear glass.

few years ago, i got run over by and stuck under a toyota highlander. i was pinned between the splash guard and the pavement. my foot was caught past the back of the subframe, still clipped into my pedals.

the buyout is $20,300 plus tax.... if we do lease plus buyout, wed spend a grand total of about $35k on the car after taxes and everything.
