That right there between “saving for it” and “Really, anything but borrow money”, is super compressed wisdom.

Well, duh. My money working (‘figuratively’ for those without understanding of finance and economics) for me.

Several reasons:

Since Nissan has been working on refreshing their stuff, newer ones may have a different tuned suspension.

Tesla stock makes me think of an inflated condom. Interesting to look at and play with, but once it goes bust, it’s not going to protect your important financial bits.

That’s generally how it works in some Indian cities. Traffic flows until the cross traffic pushes far enough into the intersection to take over. No efficient by any measure, but traffic laws aren’t well followed anyway.

I test drove one 2 years ago and I couldn’t get over how much understeer it had. Fast’ish in a straight line and nice enough interior, but handling was sad.

What Nissan heard:

A 2 wheeler (a.k.a. motorcyle) would probably be a better starting point if the cost of cars is too much. They would still be a premium level motorcycle for the market, but it would be obtainable by a larger percentage of the population. I was going to say that this might be a chance for Harley Davidson, but then I…

Not to be a Technical Tilly, but you don’t make money until you sell the asset unless you are talking dividends. Unless someone is a heavy trader, buying and selling on micro changes to the stock, most people that have bought TSLA haven’t “realized” a ‘gain’.

Well you are never going to get rich overnight with solid investing strategies like that. /S

Good luck with that. There is almost no way India will be able to build an electrical grid capable of delivering the power to support a large EV population. Most construction is still done by manual labor with few tools and machinery found in higher developed countries. The current electric grid is very unreliable and …

I was going to say that even with a well functioning transmission, the Ford still isn’t worth as much as a Corolla, but it is proper though to factor in punitive damages.

The good news is that the ambulance didn’t have to take him off the mountain. He tumbled his car all the way down into the valley.

He guy probably steps onto an escalator and goes “Wow! Hold on tight Martha. We’re in for a wild ride.”

Are we sure that the Blackwing engine isn’t carrying on the legacy of the Northstar, but GM recognized the idiosyncrasy earlier and decided to pause further vehicle applications until/ they figure things out?

I really don’t have strong “Brand Loyalty” for most stuff. For cars, it comes down to whether I like it and do I want to pay the price of ownership. I lean toward Honda based on my personal experience and I know the nuances of engineering and how to work on them. Toyota also holds a favored position due to family and…

When I was young and learning to drive with a King Kong clutch, it was a little funny watching me walk around after parking it. I would either stomp with my left leg or look like I had some nerve damage and my leg flopped and wobbled.

I don’t own a hybrid. Up to this point (Toyota’s Rav4 Prime powertrain) there hasn’t been any with power, let alone a package with performance in mind. Now if Toyota or Subaru (pleeeeese, please) takes the RAV4 Prime drivetrain and puts it in something more sporty than a transportation appliance with “Sport” badging,…

I might re-visit left foot braking. I’ve driven manual for most of my life and some of those manuals had break the seat off the rails, heavy clutches. My past attempts at left foot braking usually led to anti-lock activation. My left foot only has two settings evidently. Lite and To The Firewall.
