A Horse With No Name

Interesting motorsports take on electrics. Makes so much torque it is literally tearing up the driveline in the car.

It is. My other car is a 2004 aveo that I inherited from a relative withy very low miles. Deciding on what to replace it with in a few years. Leaning hard into the Bronco/Wrangler idea, but the number of appealing midsizers like this could cause me to reconsider this. Love the interior.

Should be futon, it will lay down on you. I love the Renegade. Esp in this color.

Good, I am going there next month to walk some civil war battlefields. It will be easier for me to get a room and get into palces to eat. Lovely! Will agree with you on interior quality, but both sedans would rate rather low for me for a number of factors if I were buying a new car. One being depreciation, Hyundai Kia products seem to depreciate like a rock. I do like the Hyundai better than the Chevy, but better options exist than either IMHO.

Nice looking truck though.

My son just bought a 2004 Impala on the west coast with a 3.4, whichever one would have come in that car, presume plain 3400. New 60,000 mile high end radials, synthetic oil changes every 5000 miles since new, very careful and meticulous service records, and he paid a little over a grand for his first car. It's a nice clean ride. 200,000 on the odometer though.

I would like to know more about this and the 3.4 Liter series of motors in early 2000's GM cars. Have heard of lots of trouble with the 3600....this clears things up a bit. My fathers oldmobile was the same way.

Of course, for our ICE fans... That is sad... Would love to build a clone of the GMC with a clapped out S-10 and an eelctric drivetrain....!

Except for the vintage ones you keep at the farm... Love this with the Raptor, want to see the Rivian put to the same test. Seriously. I think with a lower center of gravity and all that torque, it would put down a better time.

Good gentle music for Tuesday. A good college can be over rated. You chose your own path, and it has worked well for you apparently. Bravo and Kudos from me. If I hadn't bought the Ranger or another Truck...something like this might have been good. want a wrangler or Bronco Badly. https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/819870776/overview/?aff=pkmedia&bac=pkmedia&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIw9jvjt3r6wIVaBP5AB1OSww7EAEYASADEgJee_D_BwE

Meanwhile, in the ICE world....this looks good. Midsized trucks to me are the one real bright spot in the current barren automotive atmosphere.

The bowl most millinelas would understand is called a bong, not a bowl...let's get our terminology right.

Everything analog has become a black art though when it shouldn't be. I am learning how to effectively sharpen chain saw chains...I can get a dozen or so good sharpenings until I mess up the blade geometry and have to take them back to the hardware store to be re sharpened. I even have the fancy tool Stihl sells. Guy who sharpens chains is like 90 years old...does an excellent job...but they cannot find anyone else to sharpen them well. The simplest tasks are starting to elude us as a society, sadly.

Yes, but modern folks can deal with that. Try finding anyone that udnerstands a carburetor... That's why I carry full coverage insurance on everything I own.

Hell yes on the ev Hummer. Hummer H3 SUT type vehicle in Electric would so do it for me. The one vehicle I really want to own before I die...one left on the bukcet list...would be a Wrangler or New Bronco. H3 Type electric hummer would fill that quite nicely. Except that things like the excellent VW Jetta GLI will become less and less common. For me, been with cars so long, finding them boring. Right now, emotionally, trucks scratch that itch. Long term yes but I would give them another eight or ten years. Different tasks. I can have a lot of fun off road with even a 5 thousand dollar cheap 4wd...to take advantadge of a modern shelby or vette, I am at illegal speeds quickly.

The inner truck lover in me is grooving to this...love it!

See my comment in Random thoughts about "rather have a Ford Raptor F150..." I am over my love affair with European cars, even though both vee dubs I owned were damn enar flawless in terms of reliability. Not inspired by the Polestar, did not mind watching this one go back. Interesting... I hope they reach this goal.

Or in my case, were I to win a new Vette in a Raffle, I would trade it for a Ford Raptor. Seriously.... My Ranger can haul off your carcass when you have a heart attack...J/K....that looks fabulous.

If kia and Hyundai have not buried them entirely then in everything other than trucks. Hybrids are also gaining widespread acceptance, the public mindset is changing. Once fleet users see how much they can save in fuel, the writing is on the wall for ICE. If they can build something like an H3 SUT, I am so going to paythem a visit. Like I said, was not impressed with it in the Colorado. Needlessly complex, EV can't get hre fast enough.

I can't figure out how a company that can build the small block chevrolet and the excellent 3800 V6 can build these motors. I just can't. But thena gain, had three otherwise very intelligent co workers spend 2 hours trying to figure out how to get a heat only thermostat to try to run A/C, so maybe I can.

As a fan of the wrangler...you say this like it is a bad thing? (Sarcasm) You are quite correct... What an idiot. I am never fake.

I really hpe rivian makes it. I really do!

One more for Sunday, old school American muscle never gets old.

Love this Shelby, good review.

And the model 3 is still better built than the crappy Mitsubishi products, the crappy Nissan products, the dated Toyota products, the bland Honda products (except for the Civic Type R which is lustworthy...)...the GM products with the crappy unreliable 3.6 V6, the marginal Ecosport which is uninspiring, damn near every vehicle built in that maintenance and reliability hellhole which is modern European cars. Let's keep things in perspective. Good, love trucks, looking forward to seeing these on the road! Three pahse motors run forever....I ahve a 1944 Whitney 177 Table saw that ahs had several million board feet of lumber run through it, came out of a west virginia lumber dimensioning plant. Original motor runs like new. 76 years in. Lots of buildings I take care of have 3 phase motors from the 40's, 50's, and 60's that ahve been running continuously for decades. How many 1960 automobiles are elft on the road in daily use?
