The drivetrain is shared with just about every Volvo built in the last decade.

Unless you’re daily driving is 300+ miles, any super luxury EV will be better...

I wonder how true the scarcity of parts actually would be. So much of this car is shared with existing volvos it’s basically a just souped up 2 door V60 PE.

Maybe the best daily driver in history? Yeah, why would I want that?

I like this thinking. This is the animal spirit of jalopnik. It’s the built not bought ethos but out there on a wing and a prayer that maybe you won’t have to do the built part. And if you do, I mean, if you really had to, you could always just LS swap it with a junkyard V8. No one would know unless you opened the…

Somewhere in the house, I have 1 or 2 Jack In The Box toppers.  Now I’ll have to go look for them.

Now do states you can ride in the bed of a pickup! I know we can here in MD, but have to be under a certain MPH I believe.

Missouri up there will the full requirements. I wouldn’t a’ guessed it.

As a university professor, I will say that teaching undergraduate snotlings is never repetitive because every year those beasts find new and inventive ways to make life frustrating. It’s like driving an Alfa.

Awesome how those $100K Jeeps now come with legendary Fiat reliability, isn’t it?

Lol rarely are gas stations owned individually (meaning, the owner of this Chevron is fine, insured, and likely has 10+ other stores. Chevrons are like McDonalds, the cost of entry is so high that it’s not just joe schmos buying and operating them. 

The most surprising part about all of this is that Hertz didn’t try to immediately arrest all of the customers.

As someone who wrote RFP responses to state and local governments for speed cameras, red light and parking enforcement, and toll collection systems, I’m shocked the city is getting that much.

To be fair the IRS is still figuring it out. I had a hilarious conversation with an IRS auditor back when I was reviewing comic books over whether all the free comics I got digitally qualified as income. He ultimately said no because I couldn't resell them, they were technically just licensed to me, and I was…

Gimme a big ol’ sheet of Lexan & a Harbor Freight heat gun. And some silicone caulking & mebbe a li’l speed tape. Replacement front winder comin’ right up.

Same here. Picked up a 2021 Ioniq Electric for about 60% off original MSRP and it only had 10k miles on it. I don’t need massive range out of it, and I can get by just fine charging off the standard 120v outlet plug, so I don’t even need to bother with a L2 charger. I actually get free charging at work when the…

33k per year is reasonable when you consider what you’re getting for that - usually. However since “Hell is other people” could have been written for or even by me, a cruise will never be a choice. Bleargh.

Sounds like they must have fired the electronics team that designed it and could not find anyone else willing or able to figure out the problem.

Total banger. No notes.
