Hang around body shops where there is a half of a car over here and a half of a car over there and guys with too much spare time - you’ll see some amazing stuff.

What’s amazing to me is more than one person on Earth thought “hey, why not put a station wagon ass on a Town Car?”  CP. 

Close to home. Long roof. Work looks nicely done... What the hell NP. Sure as hell beats this monstrosity (found when searching Marquis Colony Park):

Would You Go To Town In This Custom 2000 Lincoln Town Car Station Wagon?

Towing With a $100,000 Range Rover Diesel is the Best Way To Throw a Problem at Money

I learned to drive on a 5.7L GM Diesel from the 1980s.  You do not understand the concept of slow.

The slowest thing you have ever driven? You haven’t driven many slow cars have you...?

Pretty clever idea - eliminate body work that is expensive and heavy. Give it a retro feel to appeal to youth and old-timers.

judging by the fact that the extended range model is split into two 50 mile range packs the packs are going to be 10-20 lbs max as the packs are neither high density packs (explains the range) and have to fit where the fuel tank would normally be. so they shouldn’t be too much hassle.

Agreed. I love the look, but even the faster model topping out at 50 mph is barely enough for city streets that have a 45 mph speed limit. And that’s only enough if you’re content to stay in your neighborhood or take surface streets everywhere. I really want products like this to succeed, but I’m skeptical that they…

Certainly looks great, but I don’t know where you’d ride a motorcycle that can only do 40mph. For a pit bike or something, that’s fine, but for a full sized machine...not so much. Even in town that’s dangerously slow.

Problem is it will attract peasant sci fi nerds to F1, and we both know the management doesn’t want serfs watching.

I think they could take a page from the US navy nuke program.

Sayeth the gospel of Smokey Yunick.

This reminds me of the diversion tactic Gordon Murray used on the Brabham F1 car:

My theory is that this is massive trolling. There’s nothing special going on in the cockpit, but Ferrari really wants Mercedes to think there is.

It’s not cheating until someone makes a rule that says it’s cheating. Until then it’s “creative interpretation of the rules”.

Clearly Ferrari doesn’t want us to see how many miles are added before they roll the odometer back at the end of each race. Gotta protect the collector value for an F1 car that only has 260km on it! 

I don’t know if its me or what, but I’m having a hard time reading this post. Everything is a run on sentence or i’ve become stupid.
