I hope they made improvements to the glass. Otherwise this car is completely impractical where I live due to spring hail storms. Last year a ton of Model S’ were sold here and so many had broken glass roofs that the news did a story on it. Some even had enough miles on them that between the glass roof and the body…

I hope the production car is better inside - and out for that matter. I would not pay $35k for that interior. It looks clean, it looks cool, but somehow it looks really cheap to me. I’m not sure if the materials just look cheap or if the design itself is a little lazy looking. I could be 100% wrong though. These…

Yeah I can definitely see that as well. I am interested to see how the next 3-4 years plays out!

Would also be good to start a ton of projects that go over budget two and three fold, then cancel them without any results.

The price is right about what the car is worth. With all the parts and the base price of the car, I bet there’s $20k there. Now the question is - do you look at it as a restomod with half the work done? Or a pile of parts that you would have to spend a lot of time selling individually to break even? The answer to that…

Would make a fantastic mountain bike. Can cruise mountain roads from town to town on the daily, then mix it up on dirt roads/Jeep roads when necessary.

When I read things like this, then read things from anti-personal-vehicle advocates, all I can think to myself is lord help us if the day comes when the entire population relies on public transport. No matter how much planning or good intentions go into it, a day will come when everything breaks down into a massive…

When I see things like this, the first thing that comes to mind is, with so much early demand and hype, will they wildly depreciate? If so, I can’t wait to get one for pennies on the dollar in 3 years.

We stuck to mostly old mining, Jeep, and access trails. Very little time spent on the pavement :(. Now I want to ask to ride it again on a highway trip!

Spent a week on a KTM 1190 in the Rockies, and I never got used to the bike. I was actually relieved when the week was over and I didn’t completely destroy an expensive bike which didn’t belong to me. That said, I did have loads of fun, but I have to say I am with you. I simply don’t understand why the bike had to be…

Yeah, it could be a showroom-like car with 10k miles on the clock and it still wouldn’t be worth $20k. I think it might be one of those situations where the seller really isn’t ready to let go.

Learning the hard way. Not all Ford 9 inch housings are alike. There are countless other generic swaps people do because they hear it on TV/Youtube and grab any ol’ said generic part without researching first. Had a neighbor completely scatter a smog era Ford 351 he put into a 2nd gen RX-7, at the strip with just a…

When you’re reducing ETs the amount of power needed to go just a tenth faster is raised exponentially. Saying that a 7.8 second run with 1800 hp is unimpressive because an 800 hp car can do times in the 8 seconds range is just as ridiculous as saying that a 9,000 hp top fuel car is unimpressive at 4 seconds because a…

Racing for 20th on the lead lap and DNF makes a big difference in earnings - not to mention the torn up racecar the team will need to rebuild.

I would accept this car as a gift - if I had no car and needed a car. It’s about as appealing as a toaster. It’s not worth anything, really.

People never learn - ever. Our history is written with the same repeated mistakes.

2016 GT owner here. I get up to 28 mpg on my daily commute - which is all highway at pretty much constant 60 mph. However my combined is 23 mpg. Just a quick search reveals there are A LOT of slower, more mundane cars that do not do much better. That said, I openly admit I would not own this car - with my current…

Umm, what is there to consider? Are there no fast food jobs anymore?

You can clearly see the evolution of his persona over time. It’s easy to see the character separating from the man as time goes on. Really, it’s not hard or hidden.

It’s plain as day to see. Watch and read some of his old stuff, then watch and read some contemporary stuff. He makes “Jeremy Clarkson” out to be this bumbling oaf who barely knows how to drive a car. In reality he knows a lot about cars, and mechanics, and working with his hands (his supposed phobia). He’s also very…
