Of course! I only have enough time during the work week to read this stuff. It’s on the list!

This is the least insane thing you have ever done, which is hilarious.

“if they can make it, it will likely be a successful product. ”

5th Gear: One of those online selling platforms struggling to make good money actually kinda gives me hope it isn’t just a grift, which was my knee-jerk reaction to Carvana. 

And also don’t have lines around the block, too. 

My point is that everyone was saying exactly what you just did 10 years ago, and Tesla was still trying to pitch people on it as an integral part of their business. In the end they did the smart thing and bailed on it, but that begs the question of what other ambitious projects might turn out to be duds despite Musk…

The low hanging fruit is the misspelling in the title, but honestly, you probably put more thought into this piece than Nissan did into this abortion of a vehicle.

Optimism says that they can afford to do this because they are certain more dense and cheap batteries around the corner, as well as faster charging.

Mine is probably only like a 5/10 on the sketchiness but the context of it is what makes the story.

I remember reading somewhere on the forums that from 1965-69, there was a stock combination of motor/trans/final drive for the C2 that had a top speed of 165. Don’t know if/how many were made with it, but still...

The fact that MCLA is like 10 years and two console generations old is the crux of the issue. NFS is the only prominent arcade racer left in the market so they have no reason to go beyond the dumb but reliable ricer crowd. After that, you have to make the step up to a one of the sims like Forza or GT.

Ooof, there are way more moving parts to it then that. I work for an electrical contractor that installs car chargers both in the form of 8+ unit supercharging stations and home chargers. While we do have the infrastructure to straight up *produce* the watts necessary, the connection from the utility infrastructure to…

I think the issue is GM doesn’t really have a motor that can move the Escalade anymore than the 6.2L V8 does. The 3.0L V6 Turbos were never designed around moving something that big and heavy the way the ecoboost V6's were for the Expedition and Navigator. This is the reason why Urus got an off-the-shelf V8 from Audi…

Right, I gleaned all of that from the second viewing from the hood-forward view. My point was that the maneuver would not have needed to be so severe if a person was behind the wheel because

Holy shit, that was comical. Swerving wildly onto the shoulder *that* long after the BMW made the close pass is the vehicular equivalent to one of those old-school doctor’s techniques where they bonk you on the knee with the little hammer to make you leg kick, but instead, there’s a long delay before some other random…

1st: Reposting this again from Friday:

I know its low hanging fruit (and most of you are taking it) for the average Jalop to say FWD is fine if you know what you’re doing , but shit, I spent a lot of freaking time this winter pushing FWD cars out of my alley, parking spaces, even the goddam middle of the street a few times. Maybe that’s their fault for…

“It’s not an issue unless you are an idiot.”

That’s a damn good price for quite a lot of vehicle. Just checked and the configurator isn’t live yet. It might not be equipped much at that price, but historically its no secret Americans want their cars bigger more than they want them to be fancier.

Eagerly awaiting the copyright infringement notice from some place off the highway in rural Wisconsin.
