    There's always a pole somewhere, looking for a dancer. In fact, I'm a Pole.

    I said 'speedy'; I didn't say 'good'. JUST saw an article stating Model Y owners are finding composite lumber and zip ties under the front cargo area insert. Tesla- 12 years and still learning how to slip-slap cars together.

    “My tits are too nice for my life to be like this” Can’t argue that.

    ^ high speed assembly line for a brand new $70K trucklette? Ocnblu is correct, sales are going to be a slim fraction of its competition. Only EV line moving at any speed of note is the Model 3.

    So the photo doesn't show production vehicles, but pre-production. Otherwise, how would pre-order people get to customize their truck if it's already built? So true production is at least a quarter away from now.

    My wife was in NYC that morning. Few blocks away. Scariest day I've lived thru.

    The competition (half-ton trucks) have all upgraded to 6 lug... a few generations ago now. 3/4-ton is 8-lug. IDK what the weight category the R1T is going into...

    Interesting choice to go with only 5 lugs. Still no ordering yet, only 'pre-ordering'.

    I came out of a 133" WB F-150 going into this- there's def a difference, but the 2500HD does have more steering angle range, and I think it's faster, also.

    You guys should try PPing a vehicle with a 153" wheelbase. I've PP'd a number of times, if I'm working in a city, but I only do it with TWO open spots and I go in nose-first / often go over the curb. On tight streets I've parked with both curb-side tires on the curb... cause she's girthy.

    Just saw Nashville hotel bookings are off by 46%. That means parking there is easier by the same amount. ?

    I shouldn't say 'only'; circa 800 is a fat number. I have a Buick 455 dyno run bookmarked, that car made 830 HP THIRTEEN years ago. 10.1 sec car. I bolt parts on my 455 and and its 600HP out of the box. My brother's Pontiac makes 1170 HP out of I think 539 CI (8.8L).

    That's it? Lotta 'raced' cubes for only 790 HP.

    NY has been losing residents since 2015. They stand to possibly lose 2 representatives because of it. It's not all COVID-related (the reprocussions of which aren't done being felt for who knows HOW long) And a LOT of the features of urban living (dining, entertainment) may be permanently altered & permanently GONE. Emboldened by unprecedented power-execution and bathed in the cold sweat of CYA (cover your ass), politicians are going to err on the side of extreme caution in many instances, and of all the events canceled for 2020 I expect most to be canceled again in '21. Manual parallel parking may be a breeze for years to come. Too bad, hyundai.

    SALE prices; not asking prices :

    ^ Oh no, pre-impact it certainly was in the $80K range- quality GTOs are mad pricey these days. And if the shell doesn't have significant damage, what's there IS worth in the neighborhood of where it's at. It's wearing Judge stripes, but no Judge logos... Judge stripes are a relatively common addition on restorations... but documented, quality Judges sell in the quarter million dollar range with frequency. My point was it's no longer worth $80K NOW.

    Hey! looks decent (if offbeat), range is very good, charge times are excellent- HURAH... well don— ohshit, it's $170,000. fckitnevrmnd.

    ^ Interesting, I think I saw that car pictured elsewhere last month. Bill of sale is fine; some states don't have titles for cars that old (NY is one; '75 or newer). Another frame & front clip and it's back. The valuation is questionable- that's not he value in its present condition...
  21. balthazar
    Not to worry - people are streaming out of big cities to live elsewhere, and there's no entertainment industry left to pull those outside the city, in.

    When you're old / doddering / can't drive properly, you'll be in a EV that goes 0-60 in 2.5 secs & 0-100 in 8. I'm sure insurance rates won't budge at all once everyone is driving a 'muscle car'. LOLOL

    ^ That was my impression watching the 'smaht pahk' commercial - it takes far longer than conventionally. Tech should make things easier, not more convoluted & take longer.

    No chance to get a pic, but saw a gleaming nuclear yellow C8 Corvette, parked in side lot of store, all by itself. and a really clean '68-ish Falcon 2-dr sedan with modern larger Torque Thrust rims, white w/ black top. I think I've spotted it once before a few years back.

    Couple reflections : sedans actually reached their lowest point many yrs ago. They've ballooned upward a few inches since then. 'Too wide' : no way; that's one of the major shortfalls of modern sedans; too narrow. As for 'end of road aero design', dude; I've been preaching that here a good 10 years now.
