  1. I hate coin change...so I try and avoid using cash whenever possible...but I still end up w/ a lot of change in my cupholders and center console bin.. I drive down to 1/8th tank then fill up when home in the burbs, on road trips I'll let it get down to half a tank if it's an unfamiliar area..
  2. The Turbo version starts at $154k...like other Porsches, there will probably be many variations..probably a base Taycan will be around $100k..
  3. I like how the dash has a very 911 style gauge cluster.. and the use of the touch screens is better integrated than Tesla's giant screen. Looking forward to seeing this in person along w/ the Audi etron GT.
  4. Probably better built, though...high strength steel and CF instead of Tesla's glued-together cardboard , plastic and aluminum (Teslas seem poorly assembled with subpar materials).
  5. It's also 5100lbs, while the Model S is a svelte 4950lbs.
  6. In the realm of hypercar craziness, when will see 0-60 times that are negative...so fast you get to 60 before you started...;)
  7. Yeah, I frequently get my Jeep to 75-80 or more at the merge point when entering traffic on Ohio freeways..was harder to do in Phoenix w/ the metered ramps--there 0-60 is more important. (or some freeway entrances in CA--0-30 with the gridlock and super short ramps).
  8. Yes, but I can see people paying a premium for the badge...
  9. As it says in the article, 'overboost mode'.. Interesting, but these trims start considerably higher than the Model S tops out I think...so this is playing at a higher price point..
  10. Merge speed on some freeways...
  11. A diesel seems to be more for someone that wants to go cray cray and try for 250k miles with a vehicle..... but the electronics will probably go bad long before 250k.
  12. Yeah, the much hyped AMG One can't do it...
  13. Not familiar with it, but it makes sense as a real world freeway on-ramp acceleration or passing measurement ....more useful than 0-60.
  14. I'd like to see the CA part survive and thrive, though...
  15. I like the exterior color and the interior color....styling is just another sharply angled violent cartoon car...
  16. I know, I just think FWD/transverse 4cyl is fine for cheap econoboxes or mainstream appliances, but has no place in at a premium or luxury brand.....
  17. Isn't the X1 FWD based now? The idea of $50k for a 4cyl FWD/transverse based CUV or car is absolute madness....but it also says $50k isn't what it once was... a FWD transverse 4 cyl connotes cheap econobox, not anything premium...
  18. Have you ever wondered what happened to your old car after trading or selling it? I was curious, popped my old Jeep VIN into google and found that it sold at a scrap auction in Tucson w/ 173k miles about 6 months after I traded it on my '14 at the end of March 2017. https://appletowing.hibid.com/lot/35082301/2000-jeep-grand-cherokee/?q=&ref=catalog It looks pretty tired there...I got almost 17 years out of it, a lot of memorable drives..kind of sad.
  19. The seating is like how McLaren did with the F1.
  20. Nice T-Bird...my brother had a white '59 w/ red interior back around 1975-6..I remember riding in it as a kid. He was working at a Ford dealer, I remember visiting him at the dealer w/ my Mom and it was parked next to a new dark blue '76 T-Bird... This one appears to be a '60 w/ a '59 grille. (that rear quarter trim was a '60 detail).
  21. Someone in my neighborhood really likes 2019 Cherokees. 3 of em.
  22. I used to fly Frontier a lot when I lived in Denver, but that’s been over a decade. They seemed comparable to Southwest. I’ve heard a lot of bad about Spirit. Here in Cleveland I’ll probably use Delta or American. Used Southwest a lot when I lived in Phoenix, still would use them.
  23. I like the Avalon interior more than the ES interior, at least in these photos
  24. Maybe the next 'Slade will look like a scaled up XT6. And the Tahoe will look like a scaled up Blazer (or they will uglify it with a Silverado-like nose).
