    Which V8 rivals? 32 highway is nothing to crow about for that much tech.

    November 19th, 2013 Drew Dowdell Managing Editor - CheersandGears.com Along with dropping trou on the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, the Edmunds video responsible for the most recent LA Auto Show picture leaks also totally pantses the Subaru WRX,shown here playing in the dirt. Update: Edmunds has since removed the video from Youtube. We saw some teaser pictures of the 2015 Subaru WRX about a week ago, so the overall look isn't much of a surprise, but it is nice to see it here finally in full view. The Subaru WRX has never been a real looker as far as sports cars go, but enthusiasts don't seem to mind. This latest iteration looks rough and ready to run.

    I can see a use for this with realtime navigation apps. I liked the Waze nav app for a while... it provided real time traffic, police, construction updates.

    eh, I don't really like any of that. A Toronado clock would be cool though.

    And guess who asked for it? http://mobile.theverge.com/2013/11/19/5121706/tesla-elon-musk-responds-to-model-s-fires-begins-nhtsa-investigation eh... NHTSA is claiming that they didn't open the investigation at Tesla's request.
  19. Drew Dowdell
    I'm wondering if he asked for it so he will (he thinks) be vindicated by the results.

    November 19th, 2013 Drew Dowdell Managing Editor - CheersandGears.com Following three high profile fires, two in the United States and one in Mexico, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration announced today that the agency has opened a formal probe into the safety or the Tesla Model-S electric car. The investigation centers around "undercarriage strikes" where metal road debris run over by the car pierced the battery compartment and caused a catastrophic runaway reaction resulting in the total loss of the vehicle. In the NHTSA announcement, they point out that in all cases, the vehicle provided ample audio and visual warnings to the driver well before the battery Tesla's vocal CEO and founder, Elon Musk, maintains that the Model-S is still safer than any gasoline powered vehicle available for sale and points out that thousands of gasoline powered vehicles have been destroyed by fires caused by ruptured fuel tanks. Tesla announced today, before the NHTSA release, that it would be asking the agency to conduct an investigation into the fires. Additionally, Tesla would be amending warranty coverage to include damage due to a battery fire. Telsa will send a software update to all Model-S to use the air suspension to raise the ride height.

    IMHO, yeah, can be. Its sure a clean fuel that the engine will run longer. I have one of the kits and its pretty simple. I never used it because I didn't locate a decent tank... and back then, refilling stations where nonexistent. I bought it because in NJ you can forgo emissions if you have an alternative fueled car. Every so often, you find the old kits popping up on eBay. Usually removed from a western vehicle undergoing restoration that no longer needs the kit. I just like big old boats... If I were to win the Powerball some day, my first stop is not going to be the Cadillac dealership, but Ebay motors. I'd love to have some of the mid to late 80s Detroit iron, but power it with natural gas instead of gasoline.

    It's not sterile once you get behind the wheel. But I will say it is remarkably easy to drive hard... it doesn't fight back like the Viper.
