Soviet EV chronicles + future pondering about Fendies

That's a comp claim with insurance that could total it out IMO It's a legit thing. One of my exes was an adjuster for Travelers and she would always show me the odd claims. One I recall was a fairly nice car (maybe a newish Merc) was totaled because they had an emergency breaking event, avoided col...

Soviet EV chronicles + future pondering about Fendies

Any updates on the Fendie? My friend's family had to be airlifted away from their cabin in Montana while on vacation yesterday, and they had to leave their Atlas there. It has food and a bunch of other shit in it, and they don't expect to be able to reach it again for another year or so because all...

Soviet EV chronicles + future pondering about Fendies

When I ordered my fendie back in November. 90% of dealers marked up and 10% stayed honest. The order times were 6-9 months. I am right at the latter as of now. Mine has been built 6.03.22, and it was ordered 11.28.21. The supposed delivery should be around 7.15.22. I have no idea still what PRICE i...

With full respect to JP and his cf situ, the average CRV buyer is not going to be a car guy. Well most of the public dgaf that it handles great and they care more that the central interface for all of the cars operations is nearly unusable or frustrating to the point that it makes them not like the...

I do not understand the huge ramz thing at all. Federal law should cap manufacturers @ 20. But part of it is car design yes? Making big ass wheel wells that require a shitton of wheel and tire. Only cool thing about big ramz on the Brahhoe is that when the front pads wear out I can replace them wit...

Oh wow. They’re massively slow cars outside of vtec.
I absolutely hit VTEC in that car and it felt like a 50 shot of nas. It was so much fun.

Every non car enthusiast thinks this is the way cars work. :disappoint:
Lisa used to have a Tiguan. She never took it over 3k rpm. I coaxed her to floor it once. It shifted at redline. She said it was scary and never did it again lol.

Understood, but 7400 is legit any time.
Every time I hit 7+ in the tsx the baesian starts :sass: about how I’m “hurting” the car
Can't wait for a random Tuesday in 2038 when baesian is mad at you for hurting the TSX once in 2019, and that's the reason she doesn't still have it.

One owner 2003 Infiniti M45 for $300. I had just bought the S4 and couldn't sell it in time, and a 2019 loaded Chevy volt in metallic red for $12k off sticker. I couldn't afford the insurance on that one so I had to bail on the deal.

Looks like a fun project. I hated driving my dad's C3, but it was no power steering, non power brakes, and I believe manual clutch.

Dead thread brought back to life - someone might as well have turned on the bat signal. That's some fantastic fabrication @calederoo My roommate actually designed it in cad and used some service that cuts and forms whatever Cad files you sent them, all I did was weld it. It came out very nice though.
