I saw one last week! 3rd gen champagne colored in surprisingly good shape for the rust belt. I legit thought “WTF is that still doing on the road”.

GTRs are unobtainable for the majority of people. I make above the average for my field at a fortune 100 company, but there’s no way I could afford the monthly payment on one. And it’s not due to spending, my cost of living and expenses are low.

I actually saw a Topaz on the road last week. I was completely shocked any were still running/driveable.

There you go citing fancy “statistics” and using logic again...

I’m skinny and tall. If you fall into the big and tall category, might not like it. My CTS-V is probably better for those of that stature.

Same height, 6'6". Drive a Cruze. Could not fit in something smaller.

Tesla Model 3: the next Toyota Yaris

Yep. Find a way to let them go by so they can be a dickhead somewhere else. I’m not dealing with your bullshit.

Yeah, fuck PA gas prices/tolls. I fill up in Delaware or Maryland and can make it back to Ohio without stopping.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the generator’s efficiency was around 13mpg, but the overall car wouldn’t drop that low just from the weight of the generator. A generator weighs less than the average person.

I tend to agree. As much as I like the idea of EVs, until charging gets down to a few minutes (5-15 in my mind) for 250-300mi more range, they can’t compete with ICE cars. At least not for roadtrips and long distance driving.

If the trailer was an electric generator, that’s easy. Link the wheels to the generator, when braking, the load transfers from the gas or diesel generator to the momentum of the wheels/trailer.

No comments about the front falling off of the British sub? Jalopnik I am disappoint.

6'8" is unlikely to fit in a Miata.

What makes it a Daewoo? Honest question.

TVA’s Watts Bar reactor #2 just came online late 2016 and there’s four more across the country under construction.

You described the function of the Chevy Volt. The driver can even choose hold mode to run the ICE and keep the battery charged for later use. I’m told that helps with folks who know they will consume the entire electric range and their commute consists of initial high speed driving, then encounter stop and go city…

I drive roughly 50mi 6 days a week but only fill up once every two weeks. I wouldn’t call filling up 24 times a year inconvenient. By comparison, EVs have to be fueled up daily. So an EV driver will be plugging or unplugging about twice a day - roughly 730 times a year. Double that if they charge at work daily too.…

Personally, I thought he was being conservative. I’ve gotten over 650mi on one 15 gallon tank before. 300mi and a 5 minute refuel is easily doable by the vast majority of cars on the road today.

You may be referring to a different noise... The one others are referencing is a whirring pump like noise. I can’t see a ball joint whirring like a pump under load.
