But the thing is, the old guard doesn't repeat the same mistakes. Any recalls the old guard have to issue have to do with execution of something g they already know how to do-they're cheap instead of ignorant, in other words. Tesla is riding a brutally steep learning curve, not merely because of their propulsion system, but because they truly don't know how to build cars all that well. Perhaps they will eventually if the money and customer goodwill doesn't run out. But as you yourself mentioned, your partner regards the car as a status symbol or appliance moreso than a car. In such a situation it is even more critical for a manufacturer to build something that even a non-gearhead can operate safely.

Eh. Much ado about bupkus.

Sorry man, misread. But even Fiat is in better shape than Lancia. Sergio's spinoff of Ferrari is their last, best chance to get development cash for their European ops. They need this platform, and they need to give it to Dodge and Chrysler as well as their European brands. If they show any preference to Europe at all, they're screwed.

Trying to save Lancia rather than Alfa is kinda like trying to save a guy wth the plague instead of a guy with the flu. At least with Alfa you got a decent future platform and a few nameplates. Lancia is... gone.

I could see some good times in a Denali-spec Canyon packing AWD and an ATS-V drivetrain. Even better: stuff a smallblock in there. If it can fit in a DeLorean...

I'm betting he could probably sell a few conversion kits based on his work. But I'm still a bit baffled by a rear-engined car packing a V8. Even Porsche put flat sixes in the 911 rather than vees. It should be a monster in a straight line tho

Rookies building cars brah. Every little detail is critical.

I'm pretty sure that putting a smallblock over the rear axle of a DeLorean is a horrible idea. But here it is: http://www.motortrend.com/news/delorean-with-ls-swap-hits-the-dyno-wvideo/

You're just ticked off 'cause they caused an epic riot in Montreal back in the day. Well, that and the fact that James Hetfield nearly got blown up by pyro the same night.

I can think of better ways for Ford employees to spend their time and energy. Granted, I can also think of worse ways too.

Only ones who don't appear to be onboard are Izzy (probably not interested) and Steve Adler (health issues). But if they can get Matt Sorum and Gilby Clarke onboard and have the Use Your Illusion lineup it would be fine by me.

Guns n' Roses is reuniting. Holy poop.

And here I was thinking that Ford had abandoned solid axles for their cars.

But does the unicycle have EcoBoost?

No, I'm not making this up. And no, the dateline for the article isn't April 1. For your daily dose of "what the EFF," just click on the link. We look forward to your feedback: http://www.automobilemag.com/features/news/ford-patents-system-for-turning-your-cars-wheel-into-a-unicycle/

I have a friend who picked up one equipped identically to this. Pretty solid wheels. FWIW I don't think the interior's bad at all, especially compared to the old 300 he traded in for it.

Big bummer. He was killed by death, I believe.

Plus ca change...

That's quite a truck man

Were you also kind of town between the ctsv and ct6 with the 3.0tt? Or not because you were already thinking ctsv because you wanted an Escalade? I just remember the one I saw in the dealership from a few weeks back. It looks better in person than in pics, where it comes off as a bit plain compared to the latest German stuff. But like I said, in person it's got charisma in spades.

Oh ya, toy... ... An F-14 D.

I already own a pretty cool truck. Cadillac CTS-V Corvette Z06 Escalade Platinum

There'll be enough people looking to buy the Cummins to make it a bigger seller than its predecessor. But aside from the engine there isn't a whole lot about the truck that's noteworthy.
