Though, I still never got used to that giant grille on the M3/M4 so I get it if the boldness doesn't tickle everyone. It certainly doesn't blend in, that's for sure. |

Someone killed my Honda Fit with their pickup truck. I got screwed out of $2500 in aftermarket parts. I'm still dealing with that trash.

I will always love and respect the 86. I was hanging out with a bunch of GR86/BRZ owners at cars and coffee a few weeks ago, and we came to the conclusion that basically every single 86 owner changes out the wheels. I have no idea why, but we all do it. Where do all the OEM wheels go? |

View Quote I've been into electric cars since I built a tractor pull RC car in high school that literally had so much power that it broke free from the sled and slammed into the wall at full speed.

Didn't feel like sinking at least 70k into a used hellcat so I went with the 485hp scat pack (I hate that name). I really like the styling, its plenty fast for me, and I can cart my young kids + wife around which is a must since I rarely get to go anywhere without my family besides work (1 ton dually boxvan). But I admit its silly to know that the model 3 performance some parent drives at daycare can flat out leave me in the dust with my badges and racing stripe. As for your video, its hard to believe that common folk don't know the advantages inherent in an electrical engine. But there it is, in evidence. I'm currently building a kubota powered turbodiesel 1953 army jeep, someday I hope that old willys jeeps will have an electric conversion kit available to them. I can install a kit. Custome everything from the ground up, not so much. |
