only if better= more buttons, other than number of buttons it looks way cheaper. Beyond the wheel the interior of that soul screams cheap way more than the chevy, which isn't to say that it doesn't, I hate the gauge cluster "motorcycle inspired" BARF!

Maybe, but even in the US with our incentives only 0.6% of our car sales were EV's last year, granted that is double the previous year, but even for us to reach their goal we'd need an order of magnitude increase, not double.

The whole point of NASCAR was/is that it is an endurance series, that's why they have 500 mile races, that's why the points are the way they are with a linear distribution of points per position. That's also why the chase system doesn't quite make sense to me.

I agree that epa economy ratings are hopelessly optimistic and the final tweaks probably won't skew the results by 20%.

we're taking about fuel consumption not emissions, so yes the calibration can make a huge difference if they set it to run safe (rich)

was that a preproduction model? if so there's a good chance it didn't have the final engine calibration in it.

it's definitely impressive, I'd love to know how much work and to go into the truck along the way to get it through. I assume being factory they had a couple spare everything on hand.

funny they both use the same supercharger, TVS 2300

looks like some good cheap practice for US's missile defense systems, see how quickly they can find a launch and how effectively they can track it.

U-Haul stores sell boxes for less than 1$ each and if you don't use they you can return them for a full refund

If you've never shot a rifle before it would be wise to invest in a .22lr before getting a big caliber rifle. I would never recommend starting someone on shooting with a bigger rifle. 22s are cheap to buy the rifle, cheap to feed the rifle and unintimidating. That means you can spend a lot of time at the range…

1. yes it would need to be a long arm douple wishbone design. As previously discussed cost and packaging are major issues with doing this. I don't believe lack of design expertise is a problem

I really enjoy them, perhaps they are a bit pricy which is why I buy them only when they're on sale for like 7$ which they are periodically. You can't beat the ease of wrapping it in foil and throwing it in an over for an hour. The results are delicious.

yeah, cost would definitely be the issue, but honestly it's not like the wrangler is cheap. IS would do wonders to fix the wranglers poor road manners as well. Maybe they could just do it on the front a-la every pickup truck to gain the driving characteristic improvements and keep costs reasonable

Can you explain the problem with independent suspension off road? it should increase ground clearance, and allow greater articulation with camber control if done correctly

I can semi-believe that. Like I said they're still pretty broke so the resurrection isn't going to go very well

exactly, there's not much money in the country, at least that's the impression the global media paints

So, how long before Russia collapses like the USSR? All of these deployments and base reactivations have got to be very expensive and I was under the impression that Russia wasn't doing all that great economically, so how are they going to pay for all this?

is that just from dumping extra fuel in at high rpms or is that monkeying with the wastegate as well?
