Government contracting is a science in and of itself. This fiscal year’s encumbered funds gets a slight mark-up for the next fiscal. Rinse and repeat.

China, anticar articles about pedal bikes, and hating freedom to drive: The New Jalopnik.
The problem is that without the tariffs they could dominate the EV market and absolutely destroy American car companies. China has a much cheaper source of labor because workers can’t unionize to protect themselves. And since their workforce is over four times as large as ours (They have 740m workers, we have 162m) if…
I genuinely don’t understand why we can’t have Chinese cars here. From what Jalopnik has shown us, there are Chinese brands that are leaps and bounds ahead of anything America has to offer for far cheaper of a price. I’d give a Chinese car a chance. What are they gonna get from my data that they haven’t already got?
For every $50 fine paid, $17 goes to the city, and $33 goes to the camera company.
I’m impressed and disgusted at the same time.
It just seems to me like, the police could end this quickly. When there is a crime (and we get grainy surveillance videos), the public is asked to identify a certain car or suspect. In this case, they not only have both (on non-grainy video to boot), but they have licence plate info as well. This could be shut down,…
Currently on sale? I’d have it be the CT5-V Blackwing. It’s the last V8 manual caddy is going to produce, so I’m sure it’ll charge a premium.
That is a MAJOR insult comparing the those cars to the Japanese bubble era.
Or best if your sick lol.
I’m fine with this. Honestly you should be getting your goodbyes out of the way on the drive, then one final quick hug and send off when you get TO the airport.
My mitsubishi has a different phev powertrain. It rarely ever uses the has engine to power the vehicle and can run entirely on battery mode. The engine is essentially a generator/ range extender.
That’s a sign of an undersized battery and poor design. That cold motor all of a sudden switching on and running at full load will have a short lifespan. A properly designed PHEV should be able to get enough amps from the battery pack to satisfy full throttle use. That means you can downsize the ICE motor and properly…
The world is flooded with these supposed halo cars from exotic manufacturers. The press talks ‘em up a few weeks, Youtubers get ‘em for yet another acceleration challenge (yadda yadda), and then the spotlight moves on. Rinse and repeat. It’s obnoxious.
My feeling about buying “toys” is that you should be able to afford the toy outright without needing a loan. Not saying you should ultimately buy it that way, but you should be able to endure that financial impact; everyone should evaluate their own financial situation, what interest rates are, and what other…
Actually more and more modern hybrids are made to run on battery only whenever possible (low speed with enough charge). I borrowed my MIL’s Sienna recently to move something and found that it would run on battery only when I drove below 35MHP and didn’t stomp the gas.
This is a nice price if you were looking for one of those, definitely.
But it took 7 of them to beat Ferrari at Le Mans in 1966.
Hindsight tells me I should have sold everything I owned and lived in a tent. Worked 80-90hrs a week and buy on of these brand new.
They weren’t built for peak power. But reliable power that you can run in high load scenario’s all day. Similar to a boat engine.
