Yeah, I’m about that attitude 99% of the time, and more power to this guy, no judgement. But, given the fact that if something happened to this he would have a hard time replacing it because of the limited number/wait list etc. I might spring for the $300/mo parking, haha.

Nah, on the upper west side. There’s a good bit of it here including one very worse for wear C63.

Sure, I get that. And I usually am not a big fan of stripes and stuff on cars, but frankly, on this, with that wing, it comes together to make it one of the more purposeful looking cars I’ve seen in a long time. And everyone, literally everyone who passes by this on the street looks at it, which certainly can’t be…

I don’t know, there’s a guy in my neighborhood who has one (and appears to regularly keep it on the street overnight!) and the thing looks amazing.

You know what, assuming this had a fixed and relatively low total energy storage and everyone had it, I actually don’t hate this argument, even if it is facetious.

This is starting to look like the institutional investors shut the company down. Apparently a rift between the founders and investors (Who in total invested around $12M in Skully) formed around a possible sale of the company to a Chinese investor. The founders were forced out shortly before the doors were shut.…

My dad had an ‘89. I loved that car, but always thought it would be drastically improved by a more reliable engine. Before he sold it, I was seriously considering a swap or at least ripping out that stupid stock fuel injection system and all its wires and hoses and just Megasquirt it. Pretty sure that would eliminate…

My thoughts on it are that the more traction you have, the faster you are going when sideways and therefore it’s more impressive looking when you do it.

I live in Manhattan and keep a car and motorcycle here. I agree with the positive things noted in the article, but I think a lot of the negative things can be remedied by two things: not having a nice car or not giving a shit, and using it everyday.

The FerrariTheFerrari was riding its brakes. Check the taillights.

Nah, early NSX’s are known for it. Between the low treadwear rating on pretty much any tire you’d want to put on and the standard camber/toe setup they eat tires. It was bad enough when they first came out that there was a NHTSA investigation.

Didn’t that thing have a Nissan VQ based motor? Amazing what those can sound like with the right headers.

This hasn’t been true for real planes for a long time. Given Moore’s law I can’t see inherently unstable designs being that hard these days. I’ve seen RC flying wings without vertical stabs as well.

Eh, that’s a bit of a stretch. Sure the snowboarding is illegal, but given that he was only in places where cars were allowed I think it’s hard to make the argument that the snowboard posed much more risk to pedestrians than the cars. This woman is more equivalent to the snowboarding guy having the kid in his arms…

It’s hard to tell from the photo, but if this thing could comfortably fit my dog in the hatch area, I’d buy one tomorrow. I grudgingly sold my g35 coupe for a GTI when I got the dogger, but having a 4 seat car that can accommodate my dog and is also rwd and short(NYC street parking) checks literally all the boxes for…

Unless that little panel on the inside of the upper vent is meant to be orange and not body color (I also feel like matte white would be uncommon anyway), I suspect all of that paint was on top of a wrap. Cool your jets.

I just got into an argument with my roommate about this. I think this comes down to irresponsible marketing by Tesla. Sure their system is probably the best level2/3 system out there, but because it is marketed as Autopilot and a ‘self driving car’ and they claim it is leaps and bounds better than comparable systems,…

Some in this thread have already alluded to this but ‘pit bull’ at this point is such a catch-all for mixed breed dogs that making any sort of genetics-based temperament statements about them in general is silly. These days, if it has short hair, is between 30 and 150lbs and has a slightly big head, it’s a pit,…

No leash in the middle of nowhere seems totally fine to me, leash on what is not an empty road especially with the dog on the traffic side seems pretty damn dangerous.

Honestly the only thing about this that makes me nervous is the barefoot seating of the tire bead, but somehow I suspect this guys hands and feet are tougher than the leather on my boots so really who cares. My man even chocks the brake disc when leaving it on the bottle jack, something most people don’t do when…
