You don’t believe they could sell the completed project? I think that would be the intended life cycle of a kit like this in the context of a class. Class builds the kit, then the finished vehicle is sold for a relatively moderate profit, and a new kit is purchased.

I gave up immediately. Maybe next week can be a little more approachable.

It would be awesome if there were some weeks that were easier, or a consolation prize drawing for everyone that donated and submitted regardless of success on the really difficult weeks?

They don’t want to be replacing every single clutch during the warranty period. There are plenty of M/T vehicles offered with more than 310lb/ft torque, but most of those are considerably more expensive than the base Bronco+V6. Find me an example that has as much torque as the V6 and a manual at less than $45k.

It’s the Tampa of the North!

You missed the post where Kraftwerk Endless found one at the Düsseldorf car museum.

That listing is actually for $16k obo. They claim that fb won’t let them post it.

I’m glad to see so many twin cities jalops cropping up. The real question here is who works downtown, can afford to buy a house and start a family right now, and isn’t working from home for the foreseeable future? Every single person I know who has a professional job in downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul is work from…

Hasn’t been a real hipster in the north loop for quite a while. Maybe yupsters or trustpers. And I cannot imagine willingly choosing to commute to downtown from Eagan. I worked evenings in Eagan for a while and commuted from South Minneapolis and it sucked even with traffic only one direction. Like V10omous can’t…

To the Porsche guy: If you don’t already know the models and details, and have your dream configuration picked out you don’t need to buy new. Being super picky about those things and having the money burning a hole in your pocket are the only reason to go new.

Wear a real respirator dude! Every homeowner should have one for those various jobs you shouldn’t be inhaling. Concrete dust is not good for the lungs.

I work at a wine shop in Minneapolis and I’m tired of being so busy all the time. Outdoor gear and alcohol have been booming.

I agree. It’s kinda annoying to have my favorite pastime suddenly be everyone’s favorite.

I have very mixed feelings about the Adobe subscription switch(which was added as an option 9 years ago!). They have actually lowered the price over the years, so when comparing to MSRP for the last physical release seems really reasonable. Master Collection had an MSRP of $2599 in 2011. The current monthly cost for…

The unfortunate reality for Adobe was that their move made sense for them and almost all of their customers. With their traditional pricing, the cost was relatively exorbitant, potentially partly because of the very high piracy rate. But those two things went hand-in-hand, people pirated because they could not justify…

The way taxes are structured for businesses are a major driving force for leases by businesses. Besides the primary tax benefits, IIRC you can also leverage a company vehicle as part of someone’s compensation, providing tax benefits to both the employer and employee by reducing their taxable compensation.

I think you are deeply underestimating the technical savvy of tractor users, especially relative to bought-new BMW owners. These people have been doing their own repair and modification work since forever, and many aspects of modern farming require equipment with complex electronics and software. They also have way…

A lot of the features they are discussing activating as part of the subscription require specialized hardware to already be installed to work, like any of the assistive stuff or heated seats. So Apple Music isn’t a good analogy because the iPhone comes with the ability to store and play many formats of music, and the…

Why is it that people can’t maintain speed effectively on an uncrowded Highway? I’m always mystified by the vast number of people whose late-model cars don’t have cruise control. Set it to 8mph over the speed limit and stop making my life difficult.

I used to be a starred commenter on several of the sites, before the great kinjafication. Now for reasons I cannot determine I’m still in the greys. Sometimes it feels like I’m shouting into the void as a commenter here, no matter how many people save and respond to my comments.
