At 2500 pounds with the swap, that’s only 67 pounds more than my 2001 Miata LS. For the car they did the swap in, it ends up being just under 100 pounds more than the car was from the factory. For a massive increase in power.

Try walking at a fast clip then - it’s more the distance and effort it takes to get there than the speed - it all helps.

Perhaps you are correct, but I’d bet you don’t go out of your way to intentionally cover other motorists with soot and other carcinogens. That’s the biggest issue that I see.

You want to roll coal, fine - but don’t fucking do it to another person on purpose.

Go look at that article again - the aircraft are communicating with each other. You don’t need a man in the loop for a vehicle, since most vehicles are not going to be equipped with weapons.

The AI was smart enough to sort out how to handle situations in three dimensions far faster than a human could. There’s no…

I was wondering the same thing. Does anyone know?

Not all of them:

I finally saw the new Prius for the first time since it came out last week. It’s as bad in real life as it is in the photos. I’m not sure why Toyota went the direction they did with the new Prius. The Camry and Corolla, while a bit boring, actually look decent to me. But the new Prius? WTF? Was the designer and…

Considering that OPEC intentionally kept the wells flowing and the price per barrel low, and now has announced that they are backing off of that, I’m going with up after the Summer is over.

Some of the body panels and interior pieces may be a little more scarce, but the rest of the parts are shared platforms among GM models. The G5 is the same as a Cobalt, the G6 is the same as the Malibu, etc., so drive train parts are shared.

I’m one of the few that actually like that design.

Exactly - gas has crept up to an average of $2.60 a gallon in central Ohio and I am betting it will be over $3.00 a gallon by the end of Summer.

Down force and gearing

I kind of figured, but I honestly cannot see Torchinsky skipping over posting what an ass a person is if the roles were reversed.

It would have still been written. An asshole is an asshole, regardless of what their political affiliation is.

Hopefully it is - that’s less money he earns as people that need towed can’t get through and call his competition instead. /s

Considering it was an accident scene, I’m pretty sure the insurance company was footing the bill, so he was going to get paid regardless.

I own a 2001 Miata LS and would love to have one of the twins, even if the perception is they don’t have enough power. I’ve upgraded the suspension on my Miata, and am on the fence whether to turbo it or not right now...the money could go towards a Toyota 86 when they release this year.

For the premium it would carry, you could find a 2004 or 2005 LS model with the 6 speed, sport suspension, and Torsen LSD and then go to Flyin’ Miata and get a turbo kit that will bolt on and provide more horsepower than the speed version does. So I’d say only a collectible to a very small audience.

Go look at how the Model X doors open and close versus this. There’s a big difference. Try parking the Lincoln in a confined parking garage and see how useful those doors become as they are shown on the concept (yes, I know those will not go to production on the Ford Expedition, err, Lincoln Navigator).

What will the price be like?
