Low end torque: fair enough.
Less weight in drivetrain: maybe, but how much do an electric motor + batteries weigh in comparison to an engine, transmission, and fuel tank? Actually curious, I have no idea.
More reliable: same thing, what does a battery pack cost when it’s time to replace it?
No acceleration sacrifices to…

I remain skeptical. I found the show meh at best. The shop parts were nice, but every time Mike Brewer was on screen,I cringed so hard I had to change channels. He’s got such a punchable face.
I always preferred things like MCM or Roadkill

some issues with “sticky switches,” whatever that might mean

I love it! :)

Maybe it was functional in a previous version, but as it is here, it’s just a grille that’s gonna be a pain to clean

Don’t know about born and raised, but I guess at least some people were conceived in Westfalia

A roofless RX-8!

Haven’t driven the second one yet though. Bought it with a barely running engine.

Thanks! I have a convertible impala in my crosshiar, but need a storing place until I can work on it. It needs some work...

I can’t hear you over the sound of burbleburbleburble :-)
You are right though, on longer drives, my Peugeot 505 is better

Holy crap! When did Audi learn to make interesting looking interiors?

After a party a few years back, a friend of mine told me his car had a rough idle, but would try to get home. As I didn’t want him to get stranded on a remote road with no reception, I drove slowly so he could keep up (he drove a Twingo). At some point, I see his flashing headlights in my mirrors.
