As a Latin American prostitute in Hong Kong once told me when I asked her how things are going, todos arrechos, sin ningun dolar.
ha!
I also had this worry - until I saw that it is chopped fiber, which is far stronger (similar to what Lamborghini uses on their tubs).
The people reject this COTD award.
LOL so with no real evidence or actual engineering knowledge you are assuming that these guys are right and that carbon fiber is going to have issues? Good work with terrible “journalism” but maybe I am misunderstanding the point of your little COTD article. Carbon fiber is insanely tough. I will venture a guess that…
GM once mocked Ford for attempting a light-weight truck bed, and then it followed up by making something even worse.
Cotd
I saw a video (amateur) of a demonstration of how strong carbon fiber can be. Boeing was explaining to airline representatives why they would want a (composite) 787. They encouraged airline representatives to hit a sample of 787 skin with a punch an 5lb sledge. A hit like that would go straight through aluminum OR…
clearly everybody knows what they have.
Everyone complains about lack of color and drools over exotic cars in fabulous hues but when it comes time to buy they chicken-out and choose black or gray.
Jalopnik’s bloggers are mostly millennials which excludes them from absorbing the concept of old school comedy. They really should stick to talking about nuts and bolts since movie reviews are out of their wheelhouse.
Wow, he predicted the modern SUV in 1958, even though there were already vehicles like the Suburban in the 1930's that already did what he was predicting! What a Nostrodamus we have. Here, let me try this. “In the future, we are going to have speakers in our home that have conversations with us.” Man, this predicting…
This review demonstrates the danger of looking at 50 year old movie through a 21st century lens. There’s no subtext about Italy’s growth/Britain’s decline (if that was the case the movie would have been “The French Job” and set in Paris, which was the focus of British ire over the common market at the time); the whole…
It’s inappropriate to inject 2018 sensibilities into a 1969 film. It’s as much a historical artifact as the cars that are in it. In my opinion, one of the best things that movies of this era can do, is illustrate the subtle and not so subtle changes in cultural ethos which are, in fact, the ‘progress’ that all…
I don’t remember. Mostly what I remember is the thoughts of “Overpriced, useless SUV. Glad I don’t have kids. Miss my single cab body on frame truck with real 4 wheel drive and a low range transfer case.”
Your not alone. I’d buy one right now if not for fact that my wife says she needs a car that will go for 100's of miles at a time- which the Bolt does, but she still isn’t comfortable with the idea. These are fast little cars too. A co-worker of mine has one and despite it being heavy it will almost instantly smoke…
This may be an unpopular opinion here but i like the bolt. I would buy a bolt if i didn’t gamble my life away. This is sad now, i want a poopy chevy but i cant because Im a degenerate. HUMP DAY!!!!!!
So, advertorial aside, you can make an 8-series great by completely rebuilding the thing using new parts. No wonder they aren’t expensive on the used market.
