  1. Welcome Dennis, great to have you here. Please in the New member thread introduce yourself to everyone. We love to hear about your auto interests and passions. I agree, they need to address the drop in MPG for better understanding.
  2. I am wondering if they are using those plastic push pins to hold it on and water builds up under the bumper and the weight causes it to drop off. Either way, this shows just how cheap they have gotten in their poor quality of bumpers. Tesla has some great tech and superior built electronics, but their assembly is anything but quality and right now I say they are where KIA / Hyundai are when they first started in the auto industry. Crap
  3. You complain about the weird looking i Series and how they lack looking like normal auto's. Now a normal looking EV is coming and you pre-Judge it. You do not know how it will be received. A normal looking 3 series like the rest of the family, with 300 miles of range and less maintenance cost, lower fueling costs and quiet sounds like a win for those that are tired of waiting for the over rated Tesla Model 3.
  4. Agree the i8 is overpriced, over rated. The 330e is a flop as a mild hybrid with only 14 miles is a joke, not worth the cost. I truly think the next OEM with a 300 mile range pure EV is going to take Tesla's lunch of a model 3 swdan. Tesla quality is a joke and I do believe there is enough demand that once you get another builder making a car or cuv with a 300 mile range that can produce in quantity with quality that Tesla will hurt.
  5. On the bus heading home. Just saw a powder blue lambrogini. Ugly as heck, never seen the design before, but
  6. I can understand what you are saying, but that weight is a warm up set for me in squats in the gym ?️‍♂️
  7. Not really, as stated in the write up it was put against the Harley Davidson Street Glide in base form which does not have the side bages or all the covers and that starts at 810 lbs. To me and yes I know I am much bigger than you, this bike would be no big deal to handle. Love the Looks, kinda reminds me of a Judge Dredd bike.
  8. Way too funny seeing that label above the Fake Tail pipes. I honestly hope they come out of the gate right with a 300 mile battery pack. Put tesla in their place. After reviewing these pictures, if BMW truly delivers on an EV sedan with 300 miles that you cannot tell apart from an ICE Series 3 sedan, they will really hit Tesla hard as I think most people will take an EV without even thinking about it. Just another Torquay silent car that glides along, charging on cheap electricity with lower maintenance.
  9. Weird, used to just work with pasting the twitter link and it would show up, but since the photo issue, twitter does not show. At least the pic or screen grabs does. Weird that bumpers are coming off in heavy rain. What are they zip tied together and the water gathering in the bumper causes it to rip off?

  11. http://www.thedrive.com/news/22838/this-dystopian-kalashnikov-designed-motorcycle-will-join-putins-official-motorcade I have to say this motorcycle has really grown on me. I like the look/style. Top speed 155 mph for a 1,124 lb bike 147 HP 132 lb-ft of torque 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds What are your thoughts?
  12. Interesting, stories are popping up that the Saudi fund has no interest in Bank rolling Tesla going private. https://www.autoblog.com/2018/08/11/saudi-fund-no-interest-bankrolling-tesla-buyout/ ? Could this be Musks Down Fall? ?
  13. Love this Volkswagen paid commercial that features the Chevy BOLT!
  14. Saudi Controlled with Musk having his share of the company and Arabe owned by summer 2019. I am calling it now. Exception is the Fed's who could kill it.
  15. Here is the really sharp looking Lincoln Continental that is in my neighborhood. Sadly on a corner that is not great for stopping at except when I got the red light recently and no other auto's so a clean pic from my SS.
  16. So true, FORD is in many ways worse today as they still have a ton of Union pension debt obligation that GM and Chrysler do not have. I honestly think it would have been best for Ford to go the Route that GM did.
  17. True in both regards, if they had not been able to secure their loans when they did they would have needed a US bailout. If they did not have the F150, I am not sure they would still be here, more like Pontiac, Ford would be gone I think without their truck lineup.
  18. Since we have the pic issue, I cannot see it, so what awesome old caddy did she get?
  19. Saw a long line of all types of Model A Fords going to Mukilteo speedway for an old car show. Was very cool. Pic of the Model A Fords
  20. Yes, It started for me on Thursday, we have had weird issues in the past so I like Balthazar thought it would sort itself out but after today trying to upload a picture the wife took for me of a bunch of Model 4 Fords on the freeway, it seems to be an ongoing issue. OK, Just tried from my smart phone uploading the Model A Ford pic to the August auto thread and no go, Same thing as on the computer. So we clearly have a picture issue. I am starting to think maybe either the database is corrupt or the picture loader software is broken. ? @Drew Dowdell If there is anything you want me to test or try, let me know. Got my phone with me all the time. Thank you
  21. Weird uploads as the picture uploads but nothing shows. I can open it just fine on my computer of this suicide door white Lincoln from my neighborhood. Anyone else having problems uploading pictures?
  22. @ocnblu You will like this, someone recorded the sound of the new mid-engine corvette. The story says it sounds like a flat plane V8 https://jalopnik.com/i-have-no-idea-what-this-mid-engine-corvette-c8-r-race-1828203040
  23. This is also very cool - Compilation of all current chevy truck faces. https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--gUCSVPwr--/c_scale,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/bxqwv4phidojbea7l7lm.mp4
