Last time I took a block to the machine shop here in SoCal to be bored and polished, along with the head cost a lot more than $1500. Must be nice to have such cheap machine shops back east.

Dear David, as a German descendant, what are your thoughts in naming products? I understand that the Cherokee nation doesn’t really mind or object to the naming of the Jeep Cherokee. However, as like the Dukes of Hazzard General Lee, the Confederate battle flag was normalized into society. I grew up watching Hogan’s…

Did you read the part in the ad about the manifold?

The question is can you make this Turbo 5spd Caravan for less than $6000? Overall I like the aesthetics, well because I like “sport” vans ala A-Team. The white on white rims were a thing back in the day. The red seats will need some getting used to, but no tears or holes. The ad doesn’t say when all the work was done…

N: VW. Because running a gigantic multi-national auto corporation and wielding that much power affords a lot of “perks”. Forget Dieselgate, moving forward there’s a lot of upside potential. Oh, and do you know how much VW CEO’s annual salary plus stock options are worth?

What’s funny about some of the other commenters’ picks are companies that don’t make a lot of money...lol, no money, no honey ;)

Plus, they don’t realize how much energy is required to run a refinery. If the power goes out at Valero’s refinery, Edison has to pay Valero $1M/hour, ask me how I know...

As a Leaf owner, I’m curious as to what kind of charger he’s planning on installing? The only chargers that I’m aware of are those fast DC ones ($10K). All other “chargers” are just cables to bring the AC to the car. My Leaf has an onboard charger, much like every other EV made. I just re-did the 240v dryer outlet to…

Better yet, how about the apartment owners themselves install the chargers and make money off of their tenants? Just put cameras to catch vandals, those chargers have very little maintenance costs.

The most likely scenario will be higher electricity in the form of increased taxes across the board. For those who have solar panels and other means of generating their own electricity they will pretty much “self tax” by paying for their own infrastructure.

Somehow everyone thinks driving on a “freeway” is actually free. People a lot smarter than me have already thought of this and will be sorted out. Trust me, money always finds a way ;)

I was just in Seattle a couple of weekends ago and they have the trolley right on the same road as the cars. Like in the same lane, only downside is if you are stuck behind one, they go like 15mph. Wireless Electricity FTW!

Well, the one thing that you didn’t mention is the actual structure of a charging “station”. I too assume that he’s talking about individual chargers, not actual venues. So, as I have a relative who has worked for Valero, BP and Kinder-Morgan, EV charge stations just need the charger or wire on a post, come cables to…

It used to be that all it took was a cool car to get laid. I think kids these days have a different approach.

Man, shit happens every morning in my bathroom...LOL

When most of the world is now going to ban the sale of ICE cars by 2030-ish, and VW is going all in with the ID.x lineup, makes total sense.

Oh ya, I subbed Daily Show. Totally reminds me of “Americans are not stupid” on the Tube. There’s also “Britons and Germans”, all originally from Howard Stern’s “Homeless Game”.

Dang, that is super cheap, makes me want to buy one too. GM is making some good cars now, I just recently drove a rental Spark and I was pretty satisfied.

No, it’s not beautiful in my eyes. But for those who do find it beautiful, have at it if $5000 is pocket change to you.

Can a Bolt charge on Tesla’s Supercharger network?
