I just want to point out that this Unicron is the size of a washing machine. Literally. Non-metaphorically.

Yeah, now add traction control to a contact patch that size and I’m... just not sure how fast you can get it. Might wind up looking like something a bit more old fashioned and 4WD, might not, question of how much you can keep the front end down, really.

That... is a heck of a thought. Battery weight would probably keep the nose down a bit, you’d need massive cables... I don’t think we can break 1.5 to 60 in a normal car but in a Top Fuel, I don’t know what the limit would be, except it’d be tire based.

I said, a while back ‘they should make a performance focused hybrid. Because look at the torque off the line’.

Honestly doesn’t look like it, she’s getting _better_ every month.

Already has: she’s 22. That’s late retirement age for most.

As a driver in an urban area, I like a four door because

Stupid AWESOME. 

Man, if I didn’t have to care about winter, and I didn’t have to care about parking, this is the car I’d buy. Not too expensive, and just the right amount of middle fingers everywhere.

And this is why my WRX is black, and has no visible stickers or other markings, and my phone mount is down below observer eye level.

I was thinking about those specs for kei cars, and I was wondering, is there an electric kei-spec yet? Low range shouldn’t be as much of a problem, especially given the weight, but keeping the torque low enough to be legal might be an issue. 

... hm. Veloster... N.

My dad had a mid-life crisis, and bought a sensible car. Then he got over it, replaced it with another Porsche.

It’s really not. A true quality shotgun would be in the 50-100k range. It’s all about the engraving and bespoke nature.

I, uh. Well, the first eight were on sale for 30 bucks. So...

Nah, she’ll die, he’ll get called out of retirement. Standard Bond intro - remember 006 and the clown?

Eh, not that misleading - I believe the WRX has a remarkably low auto number.

There is a very small number of cars where the manual rate is larger than the automatic rate. The WRX and STi are one, the Miata is another. Any others on the list at all?

But what about the poor AVs that want to drive in the bike lane?

Kirsten is the next Warren, but she’s not quite there yet. But you can tell she will be.
