In reading the subjective ratings, it looks like the bmw falls into the 'lease appliance' on a lot of categories that have zero to do with which wheels are driven.

mmmMMMMMmmm : Silverado! 3.0L TD, plz.

Tortoise Beetle -

^ Slant 6 banger with 'Hyper-Pack'. 'Real' NASCAR cars had around 425 HP / 175 MPH by '64.

Short-lived compact division of NASCAR :

Car & Driver :

Martin County, Indiana, '41 :

I don't know how fast the C-60 was going in that '61 race, but the '60 Daytona pole winner lapped at 149.9 MPH. By '64, it was up to 174.9 MPH. Driver only received a "minor spinal injury".

So if it's a "prototype"... then I assume Amazon hasn't, actually, "taken" it and is using it for deliveries. If correct, what a strangely-worded story.

When you say ‘first’, does that literally mean Rivian built 1?

TESLA is dreaming of big profits. Couple quarters in the black doesn't come close to erasing the billions lost to date.

Too clean = no work being done. ?

‘68 ‘stang fastback. ☹️

Ha to the ha. [waits for RobertHalls' comment...]

Apparently I was thinking about the '21 F-150's onboard generator, because the press pic of that shows (4) 110V plugs and a 240V plug operating ... but that's on the hybrid IC F-150. That pic shows a lot more draw than just 1 tool... but that's a completely different scenario. It'll be interesting to see how the EV F-150 is set up in comparison to this.

AN EV work truck presents an interesting sub-category; EV passenger vehicles only expend their energy operating the vehicle / driving. Here, with the electrical outlets to power a hundred different power draws creates a true unknown WRT remaining vehicle range. IE; drive your model 3 to work, you have a possibility of charging it while you're in your cube. Drive an EV pickup to a site where there's commonly no charger, plug in a bunch of tools, work all day.... how much is left to drive back home is something that's going to be of concern.

Wisconsin. Classy joint : Someone's got a hard-on for used cars :

Got out of the Malibu next to this toyoter. Boy does this look like cheap, glued-on crap.

Original window sticker for a highly-optioned '68 GTO. All those line items, from number 351 to the final one are INDIVIDUAL options, independent of each other (in 97% of the case). Back when truly 'bespoke' cars were built.

I have the Safety Buzzer on my B-59. It's a handy safety item, IMO. You don't have to 'disable' it, you simply set it at it's max and you're less likely to engage it : ^ For folk who want to go 105, but not 110. :D

I end with Imperials at '68. Chrysler didn't put the design mojo into them in the fuselage years like they did '55-68. They don't look any more expensive than a Chrysler of that era. I think it showed, as Imperial was dead by '75 IIRC. This era 300s are generally sweet tho. But again- it goes flat with the '73s. The domestic OEMs used to focus on their full-size cars, but once the intermediates were fleshed out & pulling huge numbers, those became the focus instead. GM, Ford, Chrysler all followed this pattern, and all their full-sizers suffered dropping volumes as a consequence. Not that I place a high significance on volumes per say, but it's indicative.
