What? Are you saying you do not have Tesla's beloved Pet Boys auto centers every 3 to 5 miles? Yes many nerds have put Tesla in the same league as Apple and yet you have to go to Pet Boys for service!, That does not give me a warm fuzzy feeling about their quality when your dealing with a cheap retailer. I would rather trust my chevy dealership over pet boys.

Totally understandable. Lovely auto?HELL YES Sell in quantities that could make serious profits? Nope The days of 2 door coupes are coming to a close as people want 4 doors and the ability to haul family and friends. Once Buick makes massive profits and is even more stable then they can consider doing low volume break even auto's like what this would probably be. LOVE the look in that garnet red metallic.

^ What is that ugly car? Never seen it before. While the doors are cool the rest of it fails in my eyes for style.

Ouch, that extra 3 inches of rim really costs. I think I got pretty much the same cost as you did.
-
Wow, what are they asking for that old concept?

^ Very COOL You could also do a Scout Scarab

Ouch if that college test the MB auto's and comes up with the same results, this could be a big black eye to MB. I have often wondered about the rest of the German auto companies as they all buy from Bosch. Makes one think why would this not happen at the others.

Very Cool update, I can totally understand the frustration but then we do take on these projects of love. All the best to getting to your next item on the list and checking it off. Appreciate the pictures you include as that really helps understand what you are dealing with. Keep on Rockin!

Very cool, I love level playing field testing like this. Cannot wait for the report to be published as I am interested in who had "Strange Irregularities". Now Weird is that Audi and Porsche are not listed as they both have admitted on their diesels to using the same software. So their auto's should be failing the tests.

Easy, 2016 CTS-V

WOW, Listen to them just rip apart the nickel and dime BS of BMW that comes standard on the Camaro! BMW has finally really failed! Love the Knock about Overhead dual cams. As many of us have stated, the small block V8 still rules over turbo! Hats off to Chevy, Camaro is a superior sports car. Gotta love their quotes.

WOW, Very interesting comparison. M4 425HP / 406 lb-ft 6sp manual 110.7 Wheelbase 3512lbs Cost $81,045 Camaro 455hp / 455 lb-ft 6sp manual 110.7 Wheelbase 3696lbs Cost $46,095 WOW, not purfect but the Camaro clearly cleans up.

That is easily done. Here in Seattle many have added solar panels to fuel their house and EV auto. Costco has some awesome solar panel kits you can buy and either install yourself or pay to be professionally installed.

Liking the idea of an EV auto more and more. Plus better torque.

Looks like a good tire, like the sipping it has for getting water out of the way and for better traction. Having never had cooper, what is the life expectancy? I know I can always count on my BG Goodrich tires to get me between 85-100K miles. Though I do monitor air pressure and make sure everything is where it should be far more than most. Was looking at my receipt due to what you have stated as $1K price for 4 of the BFG for your truck. What is your tire size? For my Durango, it is 31 x 10.50 - 15 Which is $161 per tire mounted, balanced, road hazard, etc. With Washington State sales tax it was $705.18 at Discount Tire. These by the way are more expensive than the KO2 tires which were $157.00 each.

I have to agree, both my kids learned to drive manuals but work and live in the city so auto's they have especially with all the hills around Seattle. I love manuals but find with everything else going on in life, auto's are the best solution and the manual is what I would want for a cruiser weekend auto. Sadly what limited selection there is has be reduced to having auto's in everything now.

This is an AWESOME Post! +1 from me! Well Done! Arctic beaver? Like...snow bunnies? Yeah...I like to gnaw on snow bunnies also....especially the Arctic Beaver part... That is a Sweet 5 Pack of Snow Bunnies. I would enjoy gnawing on them too!

Wasn't that the first car with radar cruise control or something like that? I think it's ugly but in a cool, unique, and innovative way. I could be wrong but from my research yes it was as far as I can tell but hopefully Balthy will pop in and confirm as the master of all things well aged!
-
Bummer, I would love to see what you built but cannot for some strange reason. Did it still never show up for you? Sadly no, I still see it as above and I have checked from both home and work. Not sure why some pics show up this way. Very weird.

I hope not., The ability of that thing is nothing to write home about. Very true, the i3 is ugly on top of awefull. Having a neighbor with one, I was not impressed at all with it and just short of 1 year he traded it in as it never lived up to the expectations BMW marketed it as. The i8 on the other hand is nice and exciting but as a hand crafted car, it is also another nightmare that BMW mechanics hate to work on. Clearly not a well thought out car.
